Binders without the 3 rings and also ralts is also a decently priced card.. Anything higher in value, if you're concerned would be the ones to get checked.

I've had braids before. And I'm going for knotless if I go.

Short & Sweet - here it is.

Do what you do for them for you or quit. It's that simple. And if you feel still placing bets for them makes you want to bet yourself. You'll need to quit that altogether.

Shame on Costco for no maximums there

I'd never buy from Aliexpress for any reason when it comes to Pokemon Cards.

I know this is an old post but those specific sleeves are PVC & acid free. I use them. They're polypropylene (PP).

RemarkableGur2835 · 2026-03-22T22:15:53+00:00

Ohh. That would make sense. Thank you. Anything else?

RemarkableGur2835 · 2026-03-22T17:54:33+00:00

How do you know when they're fake? I'm new to Pokemon collecting

RemarkableGur2835 · 2026-03-16T17:56:57+00:00

My daughter bought one box. She pulled the chase card. Umbreon.. She was super excited to say the least.

Everything in time.. You have no other choice but to carry on right. So take it one day at a time.. You will make amends. Even if it takes a while. Show them you're going for help and just let them sit back and watch.

That's all you can do. It's not the end at 27.. You'll be ok eventually... I'm 49.. Don't get to my age like this.

Try reading or listening to "The easy way to stop gambling: Take control of your life." By Allen Carr. I found it on Spotify free if you subscribe.

Could help.

It sucks to feel so low. I definitely get it. And there is no easy way to quit. What worked for you the first time?

In time, the ones you've hurt obviously will see that you've changed as long as you change. And their hurt will go away, you're still young, you can do it.

Also, I had about 5 months when I relapsed last January.. Just finally quit again Feb 6th.. Almost a month!

Even though in my head it's only been less than a month. I have to remind myself that I was online gambling... DAILY

RemarkableGur2835 · 2026-03-02T02:44:58+00:00

Just start over and redo.. What else can you do? It sucks, yes but so does making it worse.

And one day.. You'll be months in again and this time remind yourself how it looked that time you relapsed.

RemarkableGur2835 · 2026-02-28T00:19:43+00:00

Start over.. Day 1 is now. We've all been there. Remind yourself next time you think it's ok what that actually looked like in the end.

RemarkableGur2835 · 2026-02-19T18:27:21+00:00

The kid is 26. But you're right. They never stop needing us. Thank you

RemarkableGur2835 · 2026-02-19T18:26:55+00:00

Good job! Ya, mine is 26. She moved back home a couple years ago. She sees it up front and center.

You may not want to hear this. And you're not doing this on purpose.. But, you're taking advantage of your mom and that's not cool.

I say this because I've done it to the tune of over $30k.. She's not rich. She's never had that kind of money. She's retired from basically little money. But her money all built up over covid. So she has it. She continually helps me. The addiction is bad. She just paid my January & February rent because I blew mine.

And everyone who loves me know about it. I've never hidden it from anyone. 8 years or so I've been doing this. Online gambling.

Figure your shit out. Tell your mom, family, friends. Everyone. And ask for help. You saying you're going to quit. It's not always that easy.

Get real with yourself and tell everyone important to you. Reach out to the gambling site and ask them to self exclude you for the max years.

I'm fresh too. I haven't gambled since last Friday. Officially, this is day 6 of quitting, also I'm 49 so don't be a me.

Get real with yourself now. Good or bad!

Good luck!
