Going through Ebay looking for cards just to see how much they're selling for, is such a trip.

I started being amused, then i got mad.

Japanese cards are worth THAT much in the US?? I didn't even know there was a market for them in anything other than English. Brb, digging through my old card collection.

The fact that people are still fighting over Pokemon Cards 20 years later after they were cool, baffles me.

Fuck people, this is terrible. I hope the staff is ok and safe. People have always been shitty to staff members but this pandemic has shown a new side of selfishness/greed.
