You know you have been looking at Pokemon cards too long when…

I ordered Chick-fil-A today and couldn’t stop noticing how miscut/OC the top of these PSA 6 sauce packets are:

Maybe I have been looking at and analyzing the condition of Pokemon cards too much :laughing:

How do you know when you have been looking at Pokemon cards too much? And what is “too much” to you?

Seeing prices of random goods in terms of pokemon.

For example, the imaging center I went to wanted to trade me an ankle MRI for a Charizard SIR from 151.

I was at the mall today and saw a very comfortable reclining swivel chair. It was priced at $1,055 and I thought “that’s about one quarter moonbreon.”

I don’t know if this is a reference to something or if you live in Dr. Seuss book but this is one of the funniest sentences I’ve read in a long time so thank you for that :joy:

Edit: I totally misread this is “I was at the MAIL today” and was so confused. Mall makes a lot more sense and isn’t funny anymore :frowning:

When you know where they were printed…

It’s funny that you equate prices of everyday items to card prices! It would be hilarious ‘if you saw a swivel chair at the mail’ though. When I initially misread your post I was thinking…is mail a European term for post office? Why would a post office sell swivel chairs? What whimsical world does this guy live in?

lol yeah mail swivel chair sounds like something out of a cat in the hat book. Also I’m a fellow Statesman :saluting_face:

I unironically love these, I think I might still without Pokemon.
it’s always so fascinating to me seeing anomalies in a real world situation.

I caught myself assessing the edge wear and corner condition of a business card the other day

You see a mention of a random Public Service Announcement (in abbreviated form) and think “what’s the latest controversy this time :sweat_smile: ?”

You know you’ve been looking at Pokémon cards too much when the first thing you do when you wake up is checking how many days you have in the “Consecutive Days Visited” leaderboard from E4 Safari:rofl:

I’m extremely close to the “Seek Employment” medal … :rofl:

Apparently, I don’t know how to get a job… someone please give me a hand urgently… :rofl:

You see a headline about T+1 settlements and immediately think it’s about T17 Typhlosion.

Cheerios error box haha. One of my two cheerios boxes this week seems to have a misalignment giving it a 3d (seizure) effect. The nutrition label has orange and grey bars instead





We should have a non-collectible error thread.
