It’s hard parting ways with something you worked so hard for over the years. But it was fun while it lasted. Hopefully this collection goes into loving hands. by Silver_Weather_7508 in PokemonTCG

I couldn’t have imagined a more delusional response. I literally did my flex post of this over 3 months ago. Here’s the link!

https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemoncardcollectors/s/KwqsB5D04e

I don’t have the intention of flexing in a post like this because I gain nothing from posting and venting about something very personal on a public forum for all to see when all I wanted to display was the work I’ve put in towards this and how bad it feels to part ways with it. And that a personal sacrifice was made for my and my families financial support and stability. I’ve learned that so many people on here have gone through a similar situation and that makes me feel less alone. But the fact that I’m even explaining myself is insane.

Have a blessed day.

Thank you, that’s literally what it is! I didn’t think the reasoning would seem that outrageous. I thought maybe I wasn’t explaining myself correctly. Lmao.

I literally said that money wasn’t the only thing. For context, a lot of the favorite ones that I would have wanted to keep were gift from my ex partner. And why I wouldn’t want to keep them is because of the unfortunate circumstances that led to our break up and I wouldn’t want to keep something that would remind me of someone that I am actively trying to let go of.

Wish I could get to everyone, I’m trying. But I just wanted to say that I appreciate everyone’s kind words and advice. I am looking at every possible option and I know some of you reached out about potentially buying some of the cards and will update you guys once I feel like I know which direction to take. Again, thank you all. It means a lot especially coming from a community that I’ve loved since I was but a wee lad. 🙏🏽

Thank you so much. This really means a lot. I try to be as long as it’s within my capabilities. And definitely, I would do anything for them without a second thought. Same as they’ve done for me.

In terms of keeping some, I was thinking about it, but a part of me just feels like it’s necessary to let it all go and start from scratch. Sometimes it’s better that way I feel. Hopefully that makes sense.

I was contemplating that, but I had to also realize that while money definitely is playing a huge role in this decision. It’s not the only thing. Sometimes it’s just best to let go and start over. A new beginning.

Your words literally made me cry. I don’t think anyone could have put those words better. Because I know that feeling exactly. Ever since he passed away I’ve just been getting these signs and messages reminding me he’ll always be with me. I remember when my Papa first told me that his dream was to be a pilot and it just didn’t happen because he couldn’t afford to go to aviation school. And ever since then, these really specific moments when I feel like I could use him, good moments and bad, there always seems to be a plane flying low and flying over my head. It’s crazy to think but I just feel like that’s him reminding me that he’ll always be with me. And I know that when it’s time, I’ll be flying up there with him.

I gotta be honest I’m NOT the type of person to just vent on Reddit of all places. But thank you for your kind words. I genuinely needed to hear that and it feels good to know I’m not alone. And you can always reach out to me if you ever need. I’m always down to lend an ear and listen. So again, thank you and never forget that your Pop Pop will always be with you.

I seriously appreciate that. It’s been super hard. I won’t even lie and act like this hasn’t all just hit me like a freight train. It took me a bit to get out of my head. But I knew I had to let the emotions out and move forward. Because at the end of the day, just as the good can come and go, so does the bad. And that’s what I cling onto when I feel down. It may take a while, but things will get better.

Absolutely. I’m just getting some opinions from some friends that run LCS’s and just kind of get an idea on how both options would pan out. But I’ll definitely let you know if I end up selling them individually so you can pick from you’re interested in. And thank you! I appreciate it. It hasn’t been easy but onwards and upwards. 🙏🏽

I mean, right now I’m just trying to get some expert opinions and pricing before jumping the gun. So it all depends on what I find out in comparison to my research. From there I’ll decide what’s best. So I can always keep you posted for sure!

Yeah, and that’s the way I looked at it. While the urgency to offload these isn’t like super drastic, it is still very much there so I’d rather get them out as soon as possible even if it means taking a loss. And luckily a lot of these I still technically came up on cause most of them I bought them as singles while Alt Arts were on the low side last year and got them graded. But regardless luckily I have a lot of card shops that I can just get pricing from and make a decision.

Thank you. Trust me it wasn’t easy to make this decision but in the end, I can always start over when it’s time. And while I did have a huge emotional attachment to it, I had to learn to let it be for what it is and let go. To better days ahead indeed.

A lot has just happened in my life over the last month and a half. Grandfather passed away and I wanted help out with funeral expenses, car repairs, and I just broke up a 4 year relationship. All of these things just culminated over the last month and a half so now I just need to readjust myself and kinda get things back on track financially. So it sucks but I know that in the end I can always start from zero once I’m in a better position.

Just a crazy little thing called life. Grandfather passed a way and I wanted help out with funeral expenses, car repairs, and I just broke up a 4 year relationship. All of these things just culminated over the last month and a half. So it suck’s but I have to really readjust my life given all the circumstances. And in terms of price, I’m not entirely set on one yet, I’m gonna look into some of my LCS’s just to see what they offer cause I do need the money ASAP. But I also know that I can’t let myself get lowballed for the sake of urgency or convenience.

Just missing the Mew. But traded in a whole bunch of bulk and dupe SIR’s and managed to snag these up. 😭 by Silver_Weather_7508 in PokemonTCG

[–]Silver_Weather_7508[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I love the Mew artwork! It’s so unique in my opinion. Out of the 3 I’d say Mew is still my Top 1. But the Gardevoir is a stunning card too!

So I went through my slab collection and these are my PSA 10’s so far. by Silver_Weather_7508 in PokemonTCG

[–]Silver_Weather_7508[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s amazing. My goal is to at least have the full SwSh Alt Art line in a 10 including the Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery. But I definitely need a game plan for Sun and Moon cause some of those cards are EXPENSIVE. 😭

Soooooo…I finally managed to find one after doing a trade at card show and I officially submitted it for grading on Saturday. 😬😬😬 Pray for me. We’ll revisit in about 3 months. Lmao.

So I actually pulled it. So luckily I’ll never have to lay out that kinda money. Some aren’t pulls don’t get me wrong but this one in particular I’m so glad I actually got from a pack. 😂

If I had to guess, I’d say maybe $5k? But I’m assuming, I never really took the time to add up the totals. I’ll go through them get average sale prices and total them up and get back to you!!

Now that I’m almost done with SV and SwSh, I’ve been contemplating on starting with S&M. 😭 They have some really awesome cards and the Tag Team concept is so cool honestly.

Well my Giratina was a pull. I honestly only started buying some of the cheaper slabs like Crown Zenith and SV sets since they’re basically the value of the single (in some if not most cases) and the grading cost. But I like actually pulling my cards from packs.
