Pretty sure I'm depressed

[jawsh98]

Yesterday I sold my PSA 10 Southern Islands set as it’s gone up SO much since I bought them in 2020, that it felt immature not to. I literally had a dream about them and had trouble sleeping the last two nights thinking about the parting. I have 9’s, so still get to enjoy the art. The title of this isn’t actually true, but the emotional side of parting with cards at certain prices is so weird… I have the same cards, but a #9 compared to #10 changes the feeling.

Wanted to start a little thread to see if any others had similar stories from their past… using it for coping

@jawsh98

I have 9’s

I think you won

I’ve only sold doubles so far or cards outside of my core collection. I fear the day i will be tempted to let go

Congrats on the life changing money

Don’t be sad, enjoy the time you had with the cards, and also how much closer you are to retirement now (if not already retired)

The cards look the same in a 9 as a 10.

You are now rich.

Go get drunk and have a little Poke-Disco

@jawsh98

I have the same cards

Same comment as others. Take advantage of the fact that some people are obsessed with labels and not the card.

You won today

I’m already looking at truly rare cards. The money doesn’t make me feel anything, so figure I have to just stay a junkie for life

Thank you Amigo

[jawsh98]

I appreciate it. Need to get a new grail

1st world problems. Thats what you’re supposed to do; sell the 10’s and keep the 9’s. I’m willing to bet some of the 9’s are in better condition than some of the 10’s you sold. Sell the grade collect the card.

I feel you. I sold a noteworthy card today and I already miss it. Trying to take comfort in the fact that we are paid to grieve

[kpod]

Take comfort is knowing that life is so much larger than Pokemon cardboard

[jawsh98]

Stealing that last sentence. What did you part with?

[scarecrowman88]

Next step now is to also sell your 9’s and settle for a nice binder set. Atleast that is what I imagine I will do with all my vintage 9’s eventually. Never bothered to collect 10’s.

[jawsh98]

I have this too, and a few sealed binders. Idk why, but SI has been my favorite since I first saw it, but never had any as a kid. Fun weird attachments we hold close

[scarecrowman88]

Honestly having cards sorted neatly in a binder gives me more joy than graded cards. These here also look good in Japanese:
