Small win against trading card scalpers
TL;DR
I was able to buy some cards at retail price before scalpers got to them and pulled super rare gorgeous card.
So I was at walmart this morning grocery shopping and I usually go straight to check if there are any pokémon cards, and 95% of the time there is nothing, but today there were tons, like 2+ boxes full, so I got 4 packs because I love collecting cards as a hobby but I aint rich and it's rare to find them at retail price.
Like maybe an hour later when I was leaving the store I walked by the same aisle and there was NOTHING left, no pokemon cards at all. Seriously, there must have been more than 50 different packages and they were all gone.
I just counted myself lucky to have gotten there at the right time. Then I get home and open one pack and pull this card

P.S. if this is a topic that doesn't interest you or you think it's cringe for an adult to collect pokemon cards that's fine, call me a virgin, incel, scum of the earth, that's fine.
I was never able to afford this as a kid so I'm making up for that, and I bet the same goes for other non-scalping collectors
