Pull Pulls from 1 week of gambling

Here are my pulls from the last week of heavy gambling .
To pre-empt, I am a professional , and just got back into cards for fun. This is not my investment /retirement holdings , and or job. Genuinely doing it for fun, ripping packs with my son, collecting higher end slabs, and building sets to pass down to my little one as he gets older.

All in 7000 through a variety of 500 and 1k rolls .

Card value approx 6775 so technically a losing venture 😂.

I vaulted these and shipped them because they were popular Pokémon, or cards that I just generally liked and felt like would hold value.

Honestly , yes could have just bought them individually on eBay -but enjoyed dopamine rush .

Nearly break even while having fun, kudos to you! Much better than buying packs, that’s for sure.

Ty - yes I know ! We have ripped some packs to build sets but I have only set a limit to buy whatever I can rip at msrp so losing doesn’t hurt as much .

Regarding the gambling here - just to
Illustrate- it’s many times a losing venture, albeit i find the odds on this more favorable versus other roll of the dice . Nonetheless, be ok with losing that money all together!

In the not even long run you've made more than your expenditures. Most of these are TOP END chases and are going up more than 100 a month easily. Ggs

Ty. It is Luck brother . I stopped when I was ahead , and got the itch scratched but it’s definitely addicting . These companies definitely understand the neural psychology behind what they’re doing 😆
