Just got back into collecting again recently and been going non stop! (packs, boosters, etc…). Ebay makes it WAAY to easy to buy stuff (lol)
Before my most recent venture back into pokemon cards, I was into the Ball Python breeding scene! I don’t know if anyone here knows about that… but its intense… people will shell out 25k for a “new” morph of python. The community surrounding snakes and reptiles was amazing, but due to a health issue with a parent i was forced to sell. It feels good to get back into collecting cards and to get back into a “community” and everyone here seems super nice and helpful!
This is just the start of my psa collection and i hope to expand it even more! And start to send in my own cards to get graded in the future.
The gold stars are amazing and i need to have them all! lol. But of course the “best” is always the most expensive, but it will be a fun adventure searching them out!
If they do, you aren’t any further behind than anyone else. So worrying just causes yourself unnecessary stress. If you’re happy with it, you’re happy with it. That’s all there really is to it.
@pottsinator - As my business prof said, you should learn to ignore sunk costs. You purchased that Espeon for $425 at a time where you believed it was a good investment (or in your case collection item). If for whatever reason, someone does come out with 1000s of them and the price lowers, you should ignore what you paid, because you paid to have it when you wanted it and if for whatever reason you think selling it to fund a more profitable purchase is worth it, do it!
That being said, I seriously don’t think that $425 was a bad purchase, in fact it is pretty good! Glad your collection is taking off! That Espeon is stellar! (As is Rayquaza)
But she definitely was! She grabbed all her information for the textbook she made from the best of the best textbooks and websites… Very smart, and I can’t wait to have her in 2 years.
(lol)
