>>51529937>Are you younger than 30?I'm 30 now, so i'm right on the edge. Maybe I should devote more money to "live in the now", but i'm comfortable enough that I can pay all my bills and still have money to spend on hobbies every paycheck. Little by little, slowly but surely.
>>51530176Definitely understand just wanting to buy the cards outright. To be honest, i'm doing that too with both modern and vintage while still buying a bit of sealed here and there. However, my goal with the long-long-term sealed is literally to crack packs and have a good time. Fleshing out the collection and """making money""" would come naturally but as far as my actual goal goes, yeah it's to pull an alt art Umbreon Vmax or whatever in 20 years and share the moments with my wife, kids, etc. Thinking about it now, if I was to open a base set or neo booster now and pull Charizard, Lugia, etc i'd be hype as fuck
Again, collect how you want to collect, i'm just personally holding to open purely for the sake/joy of opening.
>>51530212Jealous of you and that other guy that had 4(??? What the fuck). Really want this and the Giratina
