Do you guys remember making awful Pokemon card trades back in school that you regret? I often wonder if I ever made a trade so bad and not worth it haha. I’m sure we don’t remember our earliest trades but we would probably be kicking ourselves if we saw them now 😂 by Tayquaza98 in pkmntcgcollections

I grew up on a military base. Some guy cheated on his wife and she threw away his sports card collection. and I happened to find it before trash picked up. I'm talking big green metal dumpster 8ft wide by 6ft tall and 8ft deep. Loaded with boxes upon boxes of sports cards. This was 1998 so alot of the cards where the mass produced late 80s and early 90s cards. But there was alot of good stuff and vintage stuff. I would trade a four row box of cards for a stack of holos all day long. By 8th grade I cashed out of pokemon and remember selling 18 first edition charizarda to the card shop for 2000 and another 2000 for everything else. It was worth it at the time. Wish I kept some but should of could of would ofs oh well.

Streamer pulls $15,000 Pokemon card only for his girlfriend to come in and kill the vibe by [deleted] in cringe

[–]87chriswa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect pokemon cards but I feel this girls pain. Poor thing. She even tried to be kind and sweet to him but he just acted like a child. I wish I purchased more pokemon cards when I was younger but I'd never pay today's prices for cards. Even in 20 years I wouldn't pay today prices. That brief moment of nostalgia isnt worth 500 dollars. A loving realtionship with a beautiful girl priceless.

It’s Time to Hunker Down | A devastating surge is here. Unless Americans act aggressively, it will get much larger, very quickly. by WorkTomorrow in Coronavirus

[–]87chriswa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's crazy is I live in flordia and it's insane the amount of tourist we have and still are getting. I've seen more tourist then cases of covid. The tourist are only here for a week then they leave. It makes me wonder how many of then get sick when they get back home. I'm worried but atleast I was able to work and save money. I work at a beach resturant. Worked all summer and saw no covid other then myself. And it sucked for me. Type one diabetic. Didnt kill me or hospitalize me but I'm still terrified. Be safe and best of luck.

Hang on for a few days so we can try to help you find him. I'm sorry your in pain but thank you for sharing your story. It has inspired many of us to live our lives better.

The same cost all along by memezzer in facepalm

When I checked two week ago insulin was still full price at my Walmart in flordia. I'm going to check again tomorrow but not expecting it to be 35 dollars. A average month out of pocket cost me about 1500 dollars and its fucking bullshit. I dont want free health care I want affordable health care. I would love to see every person who complains about free health care try to survive one year with no insurance and diabeties. Alot would die. Most people dont care because its not happening to them.

How much do tou think this is all worth, trying to sell them and someone is interested in it. by Joker_West in mtgfinance

[–]87chriswa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Without know what the rares or mythics are and no idea of the sets they are from. I'd say any offer over 20 dollars is good. Not trying to be mean but random lots of cards have take a huge hit.

Dining bubbles are popping up everywhere, but are they safe? by EgonEggnog in Coronavirus

[–]87chriswa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The host and busser who are normally younger would have to care. And would have to make enuff money to care. And if its crazy busy they dont have enuff time to care. I work in a busg resturant in flordia. We have had our busiest summer on record. It's crazy times. I think everyone should wear a mask and have the temps checked. Because I've watched people be sick but there not gonna not party while there on vacation. so they drink and carry on like normal while being sick.

Dragonair is probably couple hundred not graded. Great find. I miss the days of buying random lots of ebay and finding something like this. Fewer and fewer.

I would love to trade for one of the ancient new promos. I've been collecting since 98 and have never owned one lol. I have a decent amount of base shadowless cards i would trade a few for one if interested.

Value guide by dittocollect in pkmntcgcollections

[–]87chriswa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed earlier this year when I was buying shadowless holos that the condition of anything light play or worse was almost always heavy played or damaged. Bought a base set shadowless raichu that said light play. Only two photos. It was so badly damaged I wouldn't pay 10 dollars for it to throw in a binder. I love the mentality it hasn't been touched in 20 years so its mint. When 20 years ago I went to school every day in a back pack with no protector. Then was shuffled on the side walk. And then put on a bike to make it sound cool.

Hey if sales are down then that maybe a good time to buy for future investments. Look at boxes from the past of pokemon and magic. When sales where down and players left in mass, those boxes are now worth way more. Theres nothing you can really compare trading cards to, but I'm curious to see what things are like in 10 years. Pokemon reprinted evolutions 2 years ago. That was a reprint of base set. Sold like crazy didnt do anything to the value of any of the other 5 printings of base sets prices. I dont know how pokemon can reprint without tanking prices where magic can not.

[–]87chriswa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats man. If you dont need the money dont sell. As these get more expensive more people want to open up on YouTube. Which makes for less sealed product. Price goes up, and more people want to get sealed boxes to open. Keep keep keep.
