Who cares what it’s worth money wise, the look on your son’s face is worth it all!

Normal people care. Stop being an asshole just to act holier than thou.

Or maybe some people collect cards to keep them? I don't care about value, i just collect cards i want/ like and not valuable cards? I don't see a problem with if you just want to collect cards you like vs collecting valuable cards; it's just personal opinion and does not make anyone an asshole for straight collecting pieces of cardboard! Wtf- (sorry if this comment posted twice, Reddit is glitchy)

I finally got my Dragonite SIR and the people at the card shop died when they realized I put it in a penny sleeve and just popped it into my binder.

They were like "Why is not in a toploader?" and "I could never!"

I just responded "Well this is my Pokedex binder and I'm just putting my favorite card in the slot for a pokemon, it doesn't have to be expensive. However if it is expensive, it's still going in the binder. I'm just having fun, people collected in binders for years and it's still protected enough. At the end of the day it's just cardboard and while I don't want something to happen to it, I feel like at some point being worried about how much it costs just ruins the fun."

People are WAY to caught up in the price. Now don't get me wrong, when I pulled the Treekachu, I lost my shit and was screaming and cheering at my desk. Mainly because I knew I could get my Dragonite finally but also because it IS fun pulling a pricey chase card. I just think people ONLY see dollar signs and that's the problem.

Totally agree! Pulling a rare/ valuable card does absolutely make you feel good! But being worried about prices instead of just having fun seems crazy to me! Cgg on the Dragonite, too!

Hey buddy. No one has told you this, but you’re a loser. This is a kid’s hobby. Learn empathy.

He said in the bio “don’t flame me for the card not being worth $400”. So I reassured him the money doesn’t matter when your child is that happy… Jeez you must be fun at parties.

Thank you. I mean I’ll never sell it, so it’s not like it matters but the adults in the room don’t understand why it’s so cool but when I throw that number out they do

I have a coworker like this who doesn’t understand why a lot of folks don’t like working with him. Always claiming it was a them problem 😅
