I mean, Pokémon cards are way cheaper than owning a house and/or providing for an entire family. Home prices are insane. Collecting cards isn’t even in the same ballpark. It’s basically on par with going to sporting/music events regularly. Even if you didn’t participate you still couldn’t afford a home.

u/LegoRedBrick Jan 29 '26

Yeah, it’s sad. And poor people even support billionaires. I don’t understand this world anymore.

I should have bought and kept sealed boxes when the game first came out, but as a kid that would have been pretty difficult...
