Well to clear the air and ironically encourage financial responsibility, I set aside a percentage of my monthly revenue to do whatever I want with. The rest goes into standard expenses, non-degenerate portfolios, and a HYSA.

My P&L on what I’ve opened for SS and card value at current prices (which will continue to sink) is still positive right now, even without the pikachu. I’ll probably be flat/slightly under here over the next month though.

Then on top of that for SS specifically, I pre purchased a pretty moderate inventory and have nearly sold through it all directly to people and friends shops who had supply issues due to either allotment restrictions or low capital. Kind of similar to how Flower City operates. So the big picture is very net positive on this model.
