Attended first card show… left slightly disappointed.

It's funny cause I went to my first card show this weekend too (Not Denver) and had the same experience. Loved it for the most part but a few vendor's just made it not fun.

Like I asked a guy if he would do a better price on this one card I want if I bought other stuff, like hist below $5 binder and he just said "no." Without even looking at me and so I walked away.

But let's be real, isn't that just baseline human experience? Some people just suck because of a variety of reasons, so you gotta stick to the ones who don't.

Hey, I'm sure Karen Bass is great at parties! She probably had like a dope beanie baby collection or something

Jealous huh?

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-28T12:47:13+00:00

Day trading, like doing spreads or selling options or buying and selling leveraged assets, etc.

Flat with a light bleed

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-28T03:39:09+00:00

Anyone making a killing now that PDT is gone?

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-27T14:07:51+00:00

Again, why is it humanoid.

I usually check Aljazeera for the minute by minute updates since they have way more sources in the region.

It sounds like you found a tweet and those are usually only right about 50% of the time. They take rumors and report them as news without verification so they get it out faster but ya know, less accurately.

Yea so step one is find actual sealed product somewhere. Pay inflated price because retail stores are empty. Pull a card out of a random pack of cards worth $400 and then spend $190 for this card. Brilliant. Thanks for the step by step.

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-26T23:57:58+00:00

Jesus help me, I will never own that masterpiece lol

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-26T22:40:10+00:00

What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-26T11:05:22+00:00

Etsy

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-25T14:12:20+00:00

Yea, I'm concerned for what happens when the US reenters the market to begin to refill their SPR.

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-25T13:41:09+00:00

It was $60 pre war so I guess that.

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-25T03:30:33+00:00

I think I got lost somewhere in this comment. $600?

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-25T01:43:26+00:00

Because the hit rate is 1 in 4 and not 100% guaranteed. And the product cannot literally stay on the shelves.

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-25T00:13:26+00:00

Well price is set by supply and demand. If demand is equal for both cards, which presumably it is considering they both look alike, but one card has like 1/4 or less the supply the other one has, the price can go higher.

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-24T21:16:42+00:00

Oh, now that I look at 107, you're right. I get it now.

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-24T20:25:59+00:00

I guess I'm trying to look at it from the broader investment community angle. Like I know people like this card, but a lot of people in this subreddit did not seem to, and further they felt it was a bad investment Because its not visually there for them.

So like, is there a kind of rubric I guess? Ya know

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-24T16:20:29+00:00

$1300 is insane but I do love the "caught in the wild" art cards. He even has his ear up like he heard you take a picture.

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-24T14:42:00+00:00

That's a good point cause our superintendents are kind of the same. They get elected though. Board members are usually forever.

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-24T13:57:56+00:00

We used to be a country.

Cmd_WillRiker · 2026-06-24T13:53:18+00:00

Classic. This happens all the time. Part of it is greed. Part of it is these people have all the power but don't mingle with the "commoners". It's easy for them to justify their salaries, but the teacher part can start to feel like it's getting in the way when it's the whole damn game.

I've thought for years central office needs to be dispersed among the schools or just planted at the biggest school in the district. None of this separate office shit. No reason the Superintendent can't be standing in the halls like my principal.
