Do you still trade Pokemon cards?
When I was young (in elementary school) my main source of getting new cards was trading with other kids. It was the equivalent of buying singles nowadays. You knew someone had a card you wanted, and you started forming a plan to trade. Or you simply went to school, and someone made you an offer for a card you never new existing until then! In my experience (or should I say, memory), trading cards with other people is way more fun than buying singles. I get super nostalgic when I think back about going to school with my cards ...knowing there's this one kid who was the only one in school with Chansey from base set... ... asking casually whether I can see his cards, and showing my cards to check if he had any interest in mine.. Then onto plotting the question about whether he was willing to trade, making different offers about which cards he would get of mine... ...getting friends involved, saying the deal was a good one... ...and then finally closing the deal and running home with an amazing Chansey, which I still have in my collection today! But now that I'm a grown up, trading cards with other collectors seems to have faded away completely. Do you still trade cards, and if so how do you go about it?

I have now a ROI of 26,49%, but sadly im still not finished. It's much work when you want too put down your whole collection in the sheet. Totally i'm using the sheet twice nowadays. - 1 sheet for my own collections and overview of my seal items. I'm still not past the 20% of the work to insert it in the sheet. - 1 sheet for chase cards and investments opportunities that i like.

Welcome Mike! I don’t know of it’s worthy to make a good investment on Obsidian Flames. It’s has the potential because the Chars and it’s a sleeper set because 151 incoming. Maybe pick up 2 a 3 boosterboxes and sell them in 5 years. You will make profit butt it will not be like evolving skies

Age split within the Poke community here!
I hope I'm not breaking any rules but I'm curious on age split in this community! Is it a bunch of collectors re-kindling a passion of their youth (my guess) or is there an equal split between newer collectors and old?

@Jesse Kroon We made a shady deal with an investor. So we paid him 10 euro per boosterbox so they get a little bit profit too. But financially this was the best option. A friend of mine arranged the deal. I was only a little worried for the delivery, but it all comes around finally. I was little bit afraid to be scammed. But finally is was a good deal for 130 per box.

@Jesse Kroon I don’t know. There is enough interest for the set. I think maybe 110 will be the bottom price. But it will difficult to buy it for that price. You never know.
