My wife and I took the kids to the fair on Tuesday to see Skillet. They're obsessed, especially with their songs "Invincible" and "Monster." I don't blame them since my wife and I both grew up listening to them, and we our boys to experience them live like we did a few years back.
I recently got back into collecting Pokémon cards, mainly for the nostalgia factor. I stopped playing the games after Diamond/Pearl, but I've always enjoyed the card game. I haven't battled with a deck since high school, but collecting the cards for the artwork is a lot of fun.
The only issue I'm finding is that a lot of people with no regular employment have become a scourge on the hobby. Between camping out at vending machines, retail stores and using bots and maxed out credit cards to scoop up online sales, it seems nearly impossible to find a pack of cards under $7-10. MSRP is about $5, so imagine my shock when I saw a gaming tent at the fair with actual packs. I figured they were probably insanely priced but asked anyway. They had Chaos Rising packs for $6 each, which isn't bad at all considering I saw them last weekend for $7.95 online. They only had two packs left, so I asked if they had any more. The lady was nice enough to go look and came out with a sealed box of 36 packs. I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least. A group of kids came in behind me and saw the cards, so when the lady asked how many I wanted I told her 10, so there'd be plenty left for anyone else.
I can't wait to open a few packs myself and watch my boys have the experience of opening them and seeing what they get. I'll have to do a follow-up post with pictures of what we pulled. They've been anxiously waiting, so we'll probably open them up tonight. I can't wait to see the look on their faces!
