Looking Back at 2025 And What’s Next In 2026

Dang… is 2025 really already over?!

This past year has been huge for us at Blue Mist, and we truly couldn’t have done it without this incredible community. Thank you for the continued support, the kind messages, and for trusting us with your purchases. As we close out the year, we wanted to take a moment to look back on everything we accomplished in 2025 and share what we’re aiming for in 2026.

✨ 2025 Recap

• Expanded into Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, One Piece, and other TCGs after initially launching with Pokémon

• Added card accessories to better support collectors and players

• Expanded into Japanese & Chinese Pokémon
