This might be one Trading Card Game libraries will be interested in that have gaming collections and tournaments. Upper Deck is working on a Marvel Universe deck building game.

No release date is scheduled yet and the working title is Legendary.
These two titles are ones that your library will want to place on order for your video game collection: Pokemon Black Version 2 and Pokemon: White Version 2.
