At least with Pokémon cards the kids can play a game. Baseball cards are dumb as hell.

I'm upping the value on these things. We keep packs for bribes, you "used to" be able to buy packs at Dollar Tree, and they made great chore bribes, rewards, etc. I am thinking now it's wash the truck, clean the garage....

I’ll tell ya what’s fricking weird... Pokémon cards being more popular than baseball cards. That’s fricking weird. It is what it is, though.

Funny thing...I explained to my kids that I thought that baseball cards were way cooler. I told them how I used to sort them, and look at the stats on the back. They looked at me dumbfounded and asked “so you could t battle them.” At that point I realized that maybe their Pokémon cards are cooler than our baseball cards were. You couldn’t play a game with the baseball cards. Whereas you can with the Pokémon cards.
