uhhh, making a pic of an expensive card and pretending its in your collection just so people can see it and think to themselves, "wow, what a cool guy!" = really really insecure person. im not quite sure what im meant to be jealous of...
breaking boxes and packs is fun, i dont get pissed off if i dont make a profit on every pack i bust. and you get lots of cards that you can trade with other collectors. of course you get shocking breaks sometimes, and sometimes you beat the odds, just like life. its totally different from pokies.
And if money is all you care about, then get the hell out of this hobby and go on the stock markets, theres a lot more to be made.
JZA..... where do i begin
first of all,
you should look up the word sarcasm and read the first section of my previous post again..
secondly,
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MAKING A REPLICA OF A CARD YOU WILL NEVER OWN??????
(and its not a 'picture' its a thick proper card)
im not selling it to anybody..
its on my personal website, and anybody with an eye for things would know its far from being perfect..
since when did i say 'money is all i care about'..
if im not a risk taker and dont want to waste my money on a box of useless cards i could pickup for $5...then thats my choice..
its like me telling you, if wasting all your money is all you care about go put it on the roulette table..
its actually very similiar to any other form of gambling..
its a gamble or risk.. you could lose $100 and win $10 back at the end.
also,
dont talk to me about the hobby..
busting packs was very different to what it was in the 90's, than what it is today..
base cards even held a good value, atm if you pickup a few bases in a pack, people dont even list them and give them away for free or simply bin them..
