I don't give a shite about your personal politics; to be the greatest, richest country on Earth, our healthcare system is an absolute embarassment.

Base unlimited Charizard in decent shape is currently at right around $500. I got one in really nice shape about 2 years ago for about $125.

You'll get shitted on for posting this on the OT, but people's Pokémon collections are outpacing their stock portfolios in many cases.

I got back into collecting cards (sports and Pokemon) during Covid to have something to do. Opened packs for a while, then just started buying singles. Eventually I lost interest due to scalpers, and just have been sitting on several binders of cool cards.

I am shocked at what certain Pokémon cards are selling for right now. Bulk holos from older sets that I payed like a dollar for, I've sold for 35, 50, 70 dollars each. I picked up 1st Ed. Base Pikachu a couple of years ago for 20 bucks. Market price is currently just shy of $190. Gengar was always my favorite, and the prices on just about all them are insane right now, relative to what they were even 6 months ago in some cases.

I might not be getting rich off of it, but something I did for shits, giggles, and nostalgia during lock down has made me a lot of money relative to what I put into it.

To those saying it had nothing to do with age, it absolutely did.

That's not to say 60 is too old to be a Power 4 HC, but a 10 year, hundred million dollar guaranteed contract doesn't exactly incentivize an old man to work his arse off every day.

Rubba Boot in Shreveport is good, but one corn and two red potatoes with a 5 lb box for $35+ is communist

My druggie cousin lives on Cross Lake and he swears he sees them from the lake often. Exactly like you described, actually. They're apparently never out when he's recording, but he swears they're there all the time, provided he's not looking for them. He's a colorful guy, so I didn't believe him, but you just described what he described to a T.

Perhaps my greatest Goodwill find ever is a VHS tape promoting the then-new Shreveport neighborhood Southern Trace, which is this area's snootiest gated community.

Timmy B is the guy hosting it, and the douchebaggery is off-the-charts. "My line of work has taken me all over the world, allowing me to see the very finest master planned communities. Trust me, few compare," as he curls his lip and cocks an eyebrow. The whole tape is shots of the golf course, 80s saxophone solos, and Tim Brando being the most punchable man on earth.

I regularly screen this for guests it never fails to kill
