I disagree. Collecting cards as kids was magical because no one cared about wear, scratches, folds etc. we carried our beloved cards in our pockets, backpacks, pencil boxes, and in rubber bands. No one cared about pristine 10’s No one cared about how much their cards would be worth in 20 yrs You traded the rarest cards for a basic holo bc you liked the pokemon Every crease and tear on these cards remind me of when collecting cards was meant to be - enjoyed, not monetized. Kids these days are more worried about pulling the highest value card and then storing it perfectly in the dark until they sell it. <\3
