Good for Steve, seems to enjoy the hobby!
I don’t agree with the Aiki collection designation raising the value of the item. To me it actually devalues it somewhat!
Honestly, it’s of no interest to him either way as far as it’s affect on value.
Damn. First edition release, first edition card, first edition psa year label. How deep can it go
I do agree though that psa would make a bunch of $ doing that
When I saw this title, I thought I was going to be able to buy shares in the card.
After watching the video, very informative to see that even Mr. Aokia has to jump through hoops to buy from Yahoo Japan.
I mean he probably just has someone else research and buy it. The dudes worth more than this entire forum combined + his family money lol.
I find that you owning one is actually more special. Wohooo a multimillionare has an expensive card that he learned about because of the info on the web and other people teaching him where to get it. No hate to steve, dudes awesome, just not as crazy exciting as a “nobody” having one.
You got yours when you didnt have nearly that amount of capital (i’m assuming lol) and there wasn’t any info on it. Thats special. Buying something that really only has the barrier of entry being money takes the joy out of it for me these days. Just like zards, you can find em. The other trophies are harder to find these days imo.
The sooner, the poorer, the obscurer, the special-er
If this isn’t in the next patreon, I’m cancelling my weekly shipments of coconut water.
I’m sure he did. Exactly why I say he had to jump through hoops. He couldn’t just buy it himself.
