Never met the guy, but I’ve heard many rumors about his collection over the years at SGC.
Have you ever had private conversations with @brendantheclayboy?
I don’t believe that I’ve ever met a clay boy in my life

Has @stagecoach met the Prattes before? @tcgmaine @brendantheclayboy
Does @brendantheclayboy regret being made to sold the collection before the market spiked? How deep does the grudge go?
Pokemon Enthusiasts!
Nice to meet you all. I’m Will, a crypto and Pokemon enthusiast. While I’m waiting for Smpratty daddy here in the lobby, I’ll tell you about myself. I dropped out of college, and have been living that grindset every since. Last year one of my bros was telling me about this Collect-a-Con thing, so decided to check it out. Who knows, maybe there would be an NFT drop or something cool.
When I got there, this Oak guy was showing off some his prized Pokemon cards. I kinda remembered them from when I was a kid, so wandered over to check it out. Started talking to this dude who was pretty cool, drank a lot of coconut water though. Should have been drinking Prime. Anyways, we started talking and the guy, SMPratte, introduced me to E4 and told me about this great community. I was skeptical any community could be better than my current group of Dogecoin loyalists, but thought I’d check it out.
It’s been an awesome year with you all, truly. As you know I spend my days on the forum, learning and conversing with you all, and building up my knowledge and collection. My main man PFM has helped me a lot with the research I’ve been doing, and for that I am grateful 
Nice to meet y’all, praise Elon

Well hello dears! This is GRAND-MA-PRATTE (I taught Scotty to introduce himself, ya know). I’m just so tickled that all you kids would let me join your fun the Pokeman party. I know, I know - I haven’t always been smitten with those silly little pieces of cardboard, but that’s just because they are just too tempting to the wonderful men in my life! Scotty and I were just the best of friends until he got all caught up in those cards, and when, my husband, @brendantheclayboy discovered they had their love of collectibles in common, those two were just peas in a pod and everyone forgot about poor old grandma! Especially once Scotty started to talk to Professor Oak. No matter though, my good friend Logan Paul (I was on his channel- the episode entitled “What’ I’d Do for a Buck” - but I’m sure you know that) always said - “Go get what you want!” And there is nothing I want more than to be close to my grandson again! Brendan and I were taking our new RV for a spin (what a piece of technology! Who knew I could watch anime while traveling!) and we were in the area and I thought to myself - Grandma, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for to catch up with your grandson! Oh, and did I mention I was on Logan Paul’s channel - let me tell you it was the talk of the beauty parlor!
@koala Now I don’t really know these other folks, but I’m sure they are all wonderful too!

Which character is a former psychiatrist with refined taste in cuisine (fava beans, chianti, etc), art, and literature?
^learned this from detective pikachu returns…
Psychiatrists are scams, just like fiat currency

@pfm If you have the inside scoop on everyone, what do you personally think happened to Professor Oak?
Dang. I don’t think we are that progressive.

@Dyl Even though you say you never met the Professor, did you ever try to reach out in an attempt to purchase cards from him after hearing rumors about his collection?
Hey @Will, Im just starting to understand the crypto world but Ive heard about some solid ventures in the past and some potential ones for the future. Would you ever consider fractional ownnership nfts based on real world assets to be worth investing in? Not sure if that kind of thing would float your boat.

@brendantheclayboy @TCGMaine How long have you two been married?
Dude you have to warn me before talking dirty like that. Yes that is right up my alley.

@stagecoach What caused or why did you end up having a nervous breakdown?
Professor Oak was always contacted by another member at SGC. I’ve been tasked with traveling the world to find the biggest, best collections. On occasion, I miss an opportunity because it’s given to someone else. I am here now, and I will not give up on speaking with smpratte about his collection and willingness to sell.

@Will How long have you been collecting Pokemon and what are your collection goals? Do you ever feel the stress of being pulled between advancing your card collection versus your crypto investments or do you have a strategy?

@stagecoach Could you elaborate on your experience at worlds?
@dyl After your chat, what happens next if Smpratte still refuses to sell to you?
