If we were to do this, what counts?
TCG/collectibles because I believe that is the spirit of this thread. No one minds if you buy toilet paper lol

of course
I’m in. I will extend this to other areas of my life (clothing, photo equipment…).
Do you know if any of those will grade a PSA 10??? What’s the lowest you’ll go for the toilet paper pack on the right?

we would just keep it all here I imagine. Anyhow, its not really some difficult thing. I genuinely am needing to recover. If anything I need to SELL some stuff. Cards aren’t worth getting bent out of shape over. So I’m going to take October to do better organizing of what I have, bindering things up I’ve been neglecting, and I’m downsizing set binders from 12 pocket to 9 pocket sizes and that takes a long time. As for money, I need to pay some stuff off, and october is the month to do that. I need to do some yard work that requires funds for fixing up. Lots and lots of mulch.

If anyone needs any inspiration, one of my favorite performance artists Tehching Hsieh is known for doing year-long endurance pieces, such as his “Outdoor Piece” during which he didn’t voluntarily enter any buildings, vehicles, or other forms of indoor shelter for an entire year. If this guy can do that, then surely we can refrain from buying unnecessary pokemon cards for a measly month! I haven’t really had any motivation to buy cards lately anyway, but I will be technically participating even though it will be easier for me than some of you I’m sure. Good luck everyone!

If you’re on the US east coast, you can still travel west to make purchases for the next 3 hours

Good luck to everyone participating 
I have been going through my collection for the past few months, re-organising, scanning, filling in gaps, appreciating & documenting everything!
I will continue to do this throughout October as i really enjoy it, but can’t promise i won’t purchase anything!
Although a few days a go i made my biggest purchase to date from Japan so that alone might kick me out of action for a month anyways especially when the import duties get me 
One thing i had noticed is that going through the collection i already have triggered some new collection goals. I expect it may happen to others here too!

It doesn’t count if you’re shipping things from storage that you’ve already purchased… right?
