Still a waste of money. Pokemon cards "expire" every year, so they're no longer legal to use in tournaments. You have to buy the new cards from the new expansion if you want to play at organized events, which is how they keep their soyjacks spending money year over year. It's pathetic.

People are using the cards to play? So far it seems like the crypto bros and scalpers have jumped in because the rhetoric I have seen is they buy up what they can and sell what they can at an insane profit. The algorithm is skewing content to favor people pulling out favorable and expensive cards, fueling the hysteria.

christ, I contacted some family about 18 months ago after my sister died and it turns out they still have my MtG cards from 30 years ago and people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for the ones which are still tournament legal

Oh, and the waifu cards

Most of them probably aren't worth shit anymore. WotC has been printing all sorts of new product for the modern format that has imploded the secondary market in the last few years. Unless you had legacy relevant cards, you probably would just have valueless bookmarks these days.

A lesson younger me could have stood to learn a long time ago. I haven't played magic for close to a decade now, but I shudder to think at the money I wasted on that game.

That makes so much sense it hurts. Someone earned a bonus for that idea.

Being a Japanese company, their "bonus" was probably a personal toast from their boss at nomikai.
