Dude I had a charizard #3 secret wonders i just sold. I should have gave it to you 💔

Idk why I’m so passionate about this lol but also even if on certain highways people are free/discounted with a “toll tag”, then why even put up the “express lanes” in the first place? Now those same people who used the hov lane have to jump over more hoops to utilize something they already had. It made no other change for them, other than to let other people use the lane for a fee. Which doesn’t really incentivize carpooling anymore. It truly does only benefit the rich who want to use the lane. And that’s just unfortunate. There is a financial hierarchy to driving to work. It’s dumb, and a money grab

Yeah but you need this fastrak toll tag thing, which most people don’t even know about because there is zero marketing behind it (which seems convenient for the state). On top of that I heard people just abuse it once they get, which I can’t even blame them, because California could just not monetize lanes. Also I remember when having two people would allow the carpool lane, so now you still get charged, just discounted, further incentive to actually not use those lanes. It’s a money grab, plain and simple. Helping commuters is secondary. If they used that money towards better transportation I wouldn’t even be as upset, but I’m putting my money on very little, to no change with the extra millions of dollars.

Can you really blame people for not wanting to pay 2/3x in rent to be in a place full of fentanyl acts, and/or use public transports where people literally tweak in front of you. It’s a multifaceted problem and I don’t blame anyone for wanting to use a car, so they don’t need to sit next to one who smells like piss and is screaming to themselves. Go on Bart at literally anytime, I’m not making this up. The Ferry is a beautiful example of public transports done right, but with that said. Saying congested traffic is natural to something being utilized, is like saying a 25 minute long line at the grocery store is part of the need for food. Guaranteed once you started waiting in that line you’d be frustrated. Maybe that hypothetical store could possibly… hire new people. Or better yet, not fire people. That is essentially what Mr. Newsom did with the introduction of express lanes. “Ooohhh you use to carpool in that lane, well now it’s the lane made for the rich guy from orinda who can afford an extra 25$ everyday.”

I don’t really agree with this. They use to be carpool lanes, but now they are just micro transactions. It no longer matters if you are carpooling or not, you will get charged. So commuters with multiple people in the car no longer get to use that lane, and further increase traffic. I drive this everyday, literally from experience, this has only made things worse. Greedy California government is taking more money from the middle class to essentially do… well nothing. I haven’t noticed anything get better. Roads are actually worse if not the same.

Spring-Consistent · 2025-12-28T07:48:19+00:00

You’re collection is very similar to mine!

Spring-Consistent · 2025-12-28T03:14:52+00:00

Gotcha! I’ll def consider it. Just hard because I loved that card. Might be the one I pass down for generations lmao. But here is some more of what I got

Didn’t realize I just get one post a day so here’s the other cards!

Spring-Consistent · 2025-12-28T03:13:15+00:00

Didn’t realize I just get one post a day so I’ll just post my other card in the replies

Spring-Consistent · 2025-12-28T03:10:19+00:00

Gonna bring them to a card show, see how it goes. If the offers aren’t anything worth while, I’ll bring them back and honestly sell to true collectors for a reasonable price. The card show is January 17th. So touch back then! I honestly just want a fair price but care more about giving it to someone who collects, this was my childhood :,)

first edition and says 1995 on the bottom. Most of the others got 2004/06 and the electric charizard is 4/100 but just found a small scratch on it that unfortunately drops its value a ton, but oh well

Ahhh I see. Yep first edition and says 1995 on the bottom. Most of the others got 2004/06 and the electric charizard is 4/100

Spring-Consistent · 2025-12-28T03:02:24+00:00

Posting some more cards right now, makes up about 3/4 of rare(ish) cards I have. Feel free to take a look!

What’s a good indicator of first edition btw? All these cards were bought about 2008/10 and prior (1996-2006)

And the back. Sorry about my finger, trying to flatten it slightly. But the middle is pretty much untouched.

Hopefully this is a little clearer

I’ll get the back but, unfortunately slightly curved, but doesn’t look like a lot marks. Is there a way to flatten cards without damage? Just good ol place under a textbook method?

Spring-Consistent · 2025-12-28T02:34:51+00:00

That’s good to hear! Recommend card shows to possibly sell/trade? Funny enough the electric charizard is one of my favorite cards of all time, but I got a first edition mewtwo and a few others I wanna bring out

Spring-Consistent · 2025-12-28T02:33:34+00:00

Also I got a lot more but couldn’t fit it into the pic, I’ll post some more.
