I had been sitting on the Charizard and the Mewtwo for about a decade but hadn’t yet gotten around to getting the others. I really didn’t need the money, but I decided to sell the Charizard and the Mewtwo because… I don’t even know. I think I was of the mindset that I’ll just sell off the only two cards I have now and if the prices don’t go up dramatically maybe I’ll buy a complete set at some point in the future. I sold the Charizard for the $900 and the Mewtwo for $650… but recently the Charizard sold for over $2500 and the Mewtwo sold for well over $1000… So yeah, bad decision.

What’s really funny about that is that set Eddie had was also mine lol. I guess I was competing against myself lol.
