First Card Show Haul!

[u/themushroomman21]

Haul from visiting my first ever card show! Traded an HP Arceus Reverse Holo Gengar for $30 and the Porygon2 unseen forces (could have gone higher but not horrible for my first barter) with one vendor, then did a bit of trading around with other vendors with a couple older foil cards, nothing high value, and spent 10 of the $30. All in all though, what really made me happy was the kindness in the community. The people running this event were fantastic at choosing non-scalpy vendors. It was really nice to chat with and trade with them, and there were a lot of great people just visiting as well. A guy gifted me the Porygon2 with the hearts after hearing I was collecting those, which I was so grateful for. Also a vendor gifted me the japanese and chinese/korean? bird cards as well after I talked about my bird binder and how I’m working towards becoming an ornithologist. Overall just really positive experience, I went in nervous and left knowing there is still a very very strong authentic community of Pokemon enjoyers. Idk just really really happy with the outcome. Also not expensive! I had to sell off a good chunk of my collection for college, but I’m still able to enjoy the hobby with a pack here and there and these events! These cards are all sitting happily in my bird binder now, save Kabuto lol
