> What I don't like too much is that the minter is a private company that profits from this artificial scarcity.
You might prefer FFG (Fantasy Flight Games) Living Card model. Effectively, each new set that comes out, you can buy a full play-set (it was 3x for Netrunner).
Unfortunately, it's just hard to compete with the gambli---er--addicti---er-- BOSTER PACK model of MtG.
(I've played MtG for 24 years, very much invested and sad that it's a LITERAL investment, see https://www.mtgstocks.com)
At least for Netrunner, it was only 3x for the base set, and 2x would almost certainly get you enough. All the additional sets after the base set came with a full playset of 3x copies of each card.
Sadly, Netrunner is dead and the license lost, so not a lot of hope for new, official cards any time soon.
