Huh? I noticed on the "new galleries" section on the main page there were a couple of images that are blocked because of mature content. OK fine. You click to verify your age that you are above 18, but then its $10 a year (or was that the monthly fee?) for an adult Subscription? I can see the verification process but a paid subscription?
Has this always been a paid service?

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Get some more points and you can get access for free. Thats what I did.

Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized. |

The odd thing is I thought I already had access a few years back.
It doesn't matter too much to me since I don't pursue adult subject cards much, but I thought that sort of access I had gotten long ago sortly after signing up.

I can see everything, but I pay the monthly fee for the ad-free site.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

There are adult eyes only cards !?!? I noticed the blocked images today and had no clue what that was about, shrugged it off as maybe my anti-virus blocking something. Would not even know where to look to see if I have to pay a fee or not, I use the free version of the DB so ads galore.
Update ............. clicked on blocked image, took me to the set, clicked on where it said to click for more info, affirmed I was 18, it told me because of age and point total I could get access, clicked on get access button, and I was in. Nothing super explicit I noticed looking quickly.

I don't have access yet, but I know there are some pretty explicit cards out there, have some myself.
Wondered though, what if some of these make it to Card of the Day?

Oh cool, I have enough points too so I can get access.
Doc--The CotD image from Wednesday, June 22, 2016 was from a "mature" set. The card still showed up though without being blocked. Not that there was anything bad about that card though

Might be an approval process before one goes up, I know they don't post for a few days after writing up a comment.
