So that's not for them.
I think a little bit of passing down and selling one of the biggest traumatic things that for me as like a collector that I didn't hold on to was all the Pokemon cards that I used to have back in the 90s.
Because now I'm looking at the value of the ones that I had that I would sell for like 50 bucks or 100.
Back then it was a lot.
$100 for a Charizard first edition.
100 bucks I'll take it now it's worth like $30,000 and I could have paid for my kids college or bought a brand new car or put a huge chunk towards our mortgage and I'm like oh my god I had I had close to a million dollars worth of now worth a product if not more that I just got rid of and at the time was a lot of money but now it's even more money so now I guess I have this like terrible awful anxiety of not holding on to something because in 20 years it could be worth a

When you ever see these stories of people that are fighting over Pokemon cards, it's not a bunch of 8-year-olds, because that's what it was when we were kids.
It was a bunch of 8-year-olds and 10-year-olds.
No, it was a bunch of 30-year-old, 40-year-old adults who are now ruining it for the kids that were us, but now that can't even enjoy Pokemon because you've got a bunch of these greedy-ass adults fighting over Pokemon cards in Costco Park
It's disgusting.
I would never fight, though.
I would never fight for it.
