Can This Magic: The Gathering Hobby Pay for Itself?

I’ve spent a lot of money getting back into Magic: The Gathering. Now I want to find out if the hobby can eventually pay for itself. By December 31, 2026, my goal is to get Franco Found It back to break-even. That means tracking everything: sealed product, singles, collection buys, TCGplayer sales, marketplace fees, shipping, supplies, and every other dollar that goes into FFI. And there’s one big rule: Cardboard isn’t cash until somebody actually buys it. A $50 card sitting in inventory doesn’t erase $50 of spending. For this challenge, only realized sales count. I’ll be updating the scoreboard at least every 2 weeks as I buy, open, build, sell, and figure out whether this hobby can actually become sustainable. 👉 Shop cards from Franco Found It: www.FrancoFoundIt.com #MagicTheGathering #MTG #TCGplayer #MTGFinance #FrancoFoundIt
