50,000 uninterrupted, 10,00 sounds like a nightmare

Depends. If the vendor’s chill and genuinely loves Pokémon, then 10k bulk. If they’re a sneaker/crypto bro, then 50k bulk.

this just triggered a memory of me and my wife, sorting through nearly 100k bulk on the first day of christmas holidays in 2021, after just moving in together that year. Greys Anatomy on the big screen, few glasses of red wine… what a night

anyway to answer the question I think i’d combust if I had to get spoken to by the average vendor for that long

50,000 bulk solo no question. Hell I’d even do 100k bulk solo to avoid being told about “comps”.

I love looking through bulk (mtg) but always feel watched. Idk what it is.

50k uninterrupted, 50-toes down. Once I get into the zone it’s hard to pull myself out of it without it really messing me up. I could probably get the 50k cards organized quicker than the 10k cards with constant interruptions.

No debate. 50k alone. Sounds like a vacation honestly

But think about the potential grails youre leaving behind

can’t believe you went with this would-you-rather instead of my far-superior suggestion. there’s no argument to be made for the 10k option!!!

To be fair, i didnt look at your far superior suggestion since this question came up naturally. But im sure it will be an amazing question when it comes up.

There is not a single good thing about talking to vendors while sorting

Originally I was going to pick the 50k, but sorting through 10k bulk with comments from me like: “Yeah its all going to my sister, Ive no idea whats its worth”, or “Ill probably donate it to goodwill”, would get some funny reactions from vendors specifically.
