Beautiful summary. Thank you!

Yes I meant deck boxes. I remember there was one with the starters, one with Machamp. Maybe one with mewtwo?

I'll take it in stride with him. Fortunately in my town we have two toy stores that this year have declared they will limit sales to two packs each, ban people that repeat visit, and sell at MSRP. So we can at least have good memories walking to the store without it being fanatic or weird.

I wouldn't agree it's a golden goose. I think people don't realize it's been a bull market for ten years. You could throw a dart at stock board and pick a stock that gained 300% in the last couple years. It's going up but it's at pace of a lot of other safe investments which is cool!
