And when I say "highly valuable" I'm talking cards valued at upwards of $10K! To me this seems the ultimate slap/spit on the face of generations that collected their heroes on baseball cards. Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken Jr., Earvin Johnson, Julius Erving, John Elway, Walter Payton...nope. Here's a stupid cartoon character invented to distract children whose parents won't turn off the TV or force them to put down a phone or game console. And it's worth more than your car and down payment on the house you live in. And it looks pretty stupid, but hey, invented value just like crypto currency!<br />Makes me want to drown in the vomit rising in my throat. I will thoroughly enjoy watching millennials perish when they can't escape rising floodwaters or a raging inferno at their door. Maybe they should have gone out and done something other than allow the internet to tell them how to live their lives. Pokemon ain't coming to save you!vitriolblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835262593444183022noreply@blogger.com
