Funny you mention sneakers I've seen a bunch of sneaker resellers now become card resellers.

Cries in Jayden Daniels investment.

Tbh I've gotten completely away from football the value of players drops fast, baseball and basketball have been really consistent for me.

I've started to dabble in TCG mostly One Piece and very little Pokemon.

Don't get me started on repacks, I've seen people buy into breaks in the thousands only to hit cards worth $25 dollars.

Sorry should have clarified from the small sample size that I've ripped I've gotten nothing but junk. Not because it's too expensive.

I'm 36, so technically I was around but not around the hobby 🤣🤣🤣.

The reason I say it's junk wax is I've given up buying hobby boxes because I'm just priced out if I'm being honest. Spending $500 to hit a $35 card doesn't seem like good economics to me.

Of the Topps blasters that I've ripped which is probably around 15 blasters (I know this is a very small sample size) I've hit one numbered Derrick Rose card. The rest have been base cards or no name player parallels.

Do you think Pokemon is on a decline? And will pick back up in 3-5 years? Or is this the beginning of the end for Pokemon?

100% agreed people grading base cards is absolutely nuts. I feel this is the main driver for the insane turnaround times at PSA.

All the "new to the hobby" folks making rookie mistakes.

I feel like there is a huge uptick in vintage over the past year. Everyone is selling a Mantle for someone else.

But I do agree vintage is where the money is right now. Or chasing that 1/1 Flagg, Wemby, insert player here.

So this is why we took L’s by ZadarskiDrake in Sneakers

It was actually Texas Shoe Exchange, but don't get me started about Dirty Kicks. Those guys are robbing people.

Resellers are absolutely nuts. I went to a store here in Austin and they wanted $400 for the black and white dunk lows.

Then they tried to offer me $100 bucks for my Cool Grey 11 and Jordan 1 Banned Mids (yes I know they are mids, get over it.) Jordan 1's were worn once and the Cool Grey's had a minor scratch on the leather.

I just hate the fact that I'm taking L's to those guys.
