    Default Remember this late 90's trend storm?

    Remember back in the late 90's when Pokemon cards first hit society hard? Such a fruitless habit, obviously a big collector was just wasting his time. Oh wait, I'm being informed I am very, very wrong.

    Some people have more money than sense. I was doing some repair work at a house a few days ago. The guy makes his living refurbishing / refinishing old firearms. He showed me a stock he was working on for a $20,000 rifle some guy had brought in. Same thing only I think Pokémon cards are quite a bit dumber...

    When I saw your thread title, Late 90's Trend, I assumed you meant Beanie Babies.

    This is God's way of saying someone has too much money.

    The moral to this? When there's a huge trend, buy a few and store them away safely.
