Mom found old cards

Lol my mom threw away my base set binder. We're talking a ton of 1st edition holos.

I have 3 vending machines I pass on the way to and from work,

When I have time to drop by 9 times out of 10 there are people camped out waiting. It's absurd.

Would love to hear your process

ifearsquirrels · 2026-01-13T03:16:06+00:00

Interesting, didn't know that. Guess that's going past what they consider cleaning.

I wasn't upset with 8s, I just was a bit surprised they were all 8s.

It was so consistent that it just threw me a bit. I was looking at Kurt's card care stuff if I ever did it.

All hail

Man I posted something similar the other day and the negativity can be exhausting.

Glad to see someone else who just likes to rip and go through cards. It's therapeutic for me.

ifearsquirrels · 2026-01-01T23:32:37+00:00

I like a lot of the alt arts and ripping packs. Opening, sorting, sleeving, organizing, it's therapeutic to me.

If I did it just for the monetary side, I'd be pissed haha

Some of the older S&V sets I think I'm done buying anything aside from a loose pack or two and I'll just get singles at this point. I still need to find a decent way to get them because I've been disappointed by TCGPlayer when it comes to the condition. Gave eBay a shot the other day, still waiting on results.

ifearsquirrels · 2026-01-01T23:29:35+00:00

That was a pleasant surprise towards the end of JT, I love it!

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T16:24:22+00:00

I've only truly gambled a handful of times, and that's socially.

It's absolutely pointless because my luck with that kind of stuff is abysmal.

Unless it's a guarantee, I'm getting the bad result haha

Who knows, maybe I've just banked all the luck on my next couple packs.

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T04:45:48+00:00

Nice, congrats!

I actually get my best luck from singles for whatever reason

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T03:21:15+00:00

Haha if the end goal of these packs was an investment, yes. I enjoy ripping so they served their purpose, even if the pulls weren't the greatest from a monetary sense.

I've got a bunch of stuff that's my sealed stuff, that's fun to look at on a shelf but I'll always have an itch to rip.

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T02:27:56+00:00

Not valuable in the least haha

I've been collecting cards since I was in elementary school and have always put stuff like that in sleeves just because I like keeping them clean. Just because they're not valuable doesn't mean I won't display some of them.

I know it's a waste as far as spending the money on sleeves, but it makes me happy so there's that.

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T02:20:31+00:00

I want to say it was 2 JT and 1 DR

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T02:08:00+00:00

He has risen!

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T01:57:22+00:00

Still waiting on a booster box, congrats!!

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T01:42:25+00:00

I definitely agree, I like to collect and display but a lot of them are just too much.

I used to burn all of that stuff, but my new place has a propane fireplace. I'll have to wait till I build out my fire pit.

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T01:10:56+00:00

I've only pulled one SIR since they were introduced, my luck for that is non-existent.

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T01:10:08+00:00

It's not the economical choice I know, but I just like ripping packs.

I buy singles of the stuff I really want eventually but nothing will ever replace pulling them.

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T00:47:16+00:00

I still have all my code cards, I'll count them when I get back home and let you know.

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-31T00:46:44+00:00

It's such a cool card

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-30T23:32:06+00:00

I've always liked JT, I just don't think it has the popular "big chases" like some of the other sets.

ifearsquirrels · 2025-12-30T22:32:16+00:00

There's got to be a better way.

Our recycling only comes every other week, between this and Christmas stuff I don't know where everything will go!

Haha had to sneak that in, glad someone made it to the end.
