@RitzerAdam @valuedontlie Motion Spin o might trade at a persistent discount to $AIT and dividend focused $GPC funds will punt it as well. Maybe there is a run-up to $140 pre-spin, but I’d be more comfortable adding sub <$120 here.

@newmork Do the work. Pokemon is not slowing down. It is not 100% of sales either. When Pokemon fizzles out, One Piece is right behind them. Funko was a large part of $GME sales and then the next collectible replaced them when the fad fizzled.
