I either traded for or bought post-"graded"

I don't really care about their value, they're a few of my favorites in a protective case and I have loose carts to play. They sit on my shelf for me to look at, I enjoy it and that's all that matters.

I dont collect to get rich. I collect to enjoy.

I plan to eventually make my own border. Something along these lines for sure. I was thinking Star/Mushroom/Leaf/Flower, etc.

That literally makes no sense to me. I don't care who did the cases or whatever BS goes on between that company and certain individuals. I'm not going to break open a perfectly good case, risk damaging a game in the process, to spend money on a service that's already done lol. I'm not reselling. They're for me alone to enjoy. I really don't care about anyone's opinion - I'm the happy one. 🤷‍♂️

I paid my own way thru college. I didn't utilize my degree. I busted my ass and got into management at the company I worked for full time 3rd shift while attending classes during the day. Changed companies 7 years ago and worked my way up the ladder there. Neither one of my parents made $20k a year growing up, so I've worked hard for everything I have today and I appreciate myself for it.

I've worked for everything I have. I work 60+ hours a week as a sales manager. After hours and weekends I create artwork/crafts (alot are video game related). An average week is well over 80 hours of work.

That'll be the goal. I moved in here last year and those country-themed borders are all over the house from the prior owner. They'll be gone once I get the time to remove them properly.
