PBYP is one of 90 retailers that make merchandise. How large a windfall can this one company make off of their percentage?

What is the market nationwide for Pokemon merchandise?? Billions?

We need a analyst who follows the Pokemon craze to do some economic runs here.

Just shorted more at 7 1/4.

Cheers!

Though Play-by-Play has not yet released results for its fourth quarter fiscal (ended July), the company has lost nearly $6 million in the prior two quarters and only has $2 million in cash left on its balance sheet. Bullish investors should note that Play-by-Play may have to declare bankruptcy before it can even generate any Pokemon-related revenue.
