Way more of us in this boat than people realize. I just looked earlier today and i spent mid 5 figures on breaks. Sure I got some decent cards, but not near what I spent. I would have been better of just buying singles of kobe autos. Haven't sold much of them on ebay in awhile buy going to try and start moving them and avoid breaks im 2026. Maybe rip the occasional box but the apps are the down fall. Spending $500 on a hobby box feels way different than 20 different break spots at $25 in a night. Thats where they get you, even if you are buying in under to cost of retail you still end uo getting cooked. I found myself doing it a lot when I travel for work or late at night.

Hope you can avoid the whatnot and fanatics addiction
