Selling on TCGplayer in 2026 – New Seller Tips, Level 4 Growth & LGS Reality | AppalachiaTCG Podcast #22
Selling on TCGplayer in 2026 is not the same game it was even a year ago. In this episode of the AppalachiaTCG Podcast, we break down what’s actually happening on TCGplayer right now — from new seller mistakes to fees, Direct vs non-Direct selling, and how online sales affect real local game stores. Tony (JustTake3) just reached Level 4 on TCGplayer and officially began selling this year, while AppalachiaTCG continues operating as both a brick-and-mortar card shop and an active online seller. We share real experience, not theory — what’s working, what hurts margins, and what new sellers should know before jumping in. If you’re thinking about selling cards online, scaling a TCGplayer store, or running a local game store in 2026, this episode will save you time, money, and mistakes.

What is it like being a New Player to Magic the Gathering
In our very first Episode, We discuss what it's like being a new player to Magic the Gathering. What hurdles you will have to take whenever you take on the hobby of collecting and playing Magic the Gathering. Hopefully we gave some good Beginner tips on how to start playing the game. We really recommend Magic the Gathering Arena for very new players. Playing paper is a different but it is very fun and rewarding hobby to get into.
