Today’s Question:
QotD: Everyone has some, where is the “jank but it works” in your Pokemon collection?

Helpful Considerations:

Jank- Something of poor or questionable quality, associated with glitches, general sense of unreliability. In gaming: Nonsensical, unfair, or frustrating.
Seedily sourced cards but they inexplicably grade 10s? Team doesnt work on paper but in a match it surprisingly works? Organization methods that are a mystery to everyone but yourself? Risky buying habits that somehow have led to great positives?

I’ve gotten a lot of side-eyes for selling on FB marketplace, but I’ve had the most success on that platform over any other, and I’ve also found out about some really great cafes while looking for meetup points to do a sale. Keeping 100% of the profit is also a nice little bonus.

This probably only works if you live in a nice metropolitan area with a lot of collectors. I’m also not selling that many cards, so I don’t mind just letting something sit for a month or two waiting for a really interested buyer to meet me at or close to asking.
