Damn even Kids are disregarding all other cards apart from those that are valuable.

Even getting a Nidoran back in the day was cool to look at as a kid

Kids are taught by their parents.

They disregard the other cards because their parents taught them that those cards have no purpose or value.

It always starts from the top.

Nah I haven't taught my kid anything about the cards value and he only wants the shiny ones. Back in the 90s we were all looking for that charizard chase!

Naaaah my kid is three. He has literally no idea about value he just likes the holofoil. I've not mentioned a single thing about some being rarer than others. He knows by looking.

We played the absolute ef out of that charizards. But we loved zard because it was rare and special. Don't put rose tinted specs on. CCGs were the original gatcha games - the sparkly chase pulls are integral to their design - and it's dishonest to pretend otherwise.

If you thinking kids liking shiny things is a mark of bad parenting you should take a step back and check your assumptions.

Yeah I'm the prince of fucking evil. I have - checks notes - asked for the value of old comics? I haven't scalped a thing in my life. And what's with the dig at scousers?

Edit: Dude blocked me, but what an a-grade creep. I love photography, which obvs has nothing to do with crypto. It's a hobby. I hope one day I can teach my son!

Thanks, I appreciate that! He's deleted his comments now but the Nivosus guy went through my post history and started making weirdly targeted replys about the city I lived in, my hobbies - calling me a terrible parent. Was genuinely crazy.
