    I never said it didn’t make sense lol I jested my perspective is probably a rare one because while I understand it, it’s just not for me because I see them as a means for the game and would even argue that collecting them and putting them on a wall hurts the people that might want those cards for playing the game (not always the case but it def happens)

    But I do think those resin casts ppl do with cards in them are p cool ngl

    People saying the same s*** with sneakers though Resellers/hypebeasts getting them instead of actual sneaker heads and people who care about the history of a shoe. And there's people who don't wear their shoes, just keep them in storage to have. Fat Joe not wearing all his pairs and there's tons of people doing the same thing on a smaller scale

    You’re thinking far too deep into this now for the sake of a debate

    Whatever they bought previously does not diminish the multiplier of that individual card because those cards in those other packs have their own value regardless how high or low, they’re their own cards

    It definitely plays a role, because their margin isn't as big as you're saying. Let's say someone buys 50 packs at $2 each, spent $100. They draw a card that they could sell for $400. That's a far different margin than just spending $2. And it could play a role in their decision on whether to buy or sell

    But we are getting too deep into hypotheticals and debates, I'm just going to let bro answer you on why he's keeping them

    If you have a $2 Pokémon card you’re not selling for 100x+ profit you’re dumb nothing will ever change my mind on that

    I just think anyone familiar with the sneaker culture shouldn't be that surprised by Pokémon card collecting. There's a lot of overlap. Outsiders would probably be looking at some sneakerheads and saying some of the same things you guys are

    There's an equivalent to this in sneakers though Hella people buy valuable shoes and don't wear them. That's what I'm saying, if you're aware of what goes on in sneaker culture, Pokémon cards shouldn't be that surprising
