10 years ago, I “overpaid” $500 for this Crystal Charizard 😅
Today? It’s valued around ~$8,000-$12,000

This card came from a limited Japanese e-Reader era print — one of the rarest Charizards ever made.

Back then people didn’t understand why I was spending that much in cards… but this is what long-term collecting looks like.

Collect what you love.
Ignore the noise.
Let patience do the heavy lifting 💎🔥

I struggle with impulse buying and I’m working on changing my habits for the better. First step: recognizing patterns. This is my accountability post. 💛

I’m not chasing any other moves or a win just focusing on long term growth going forward.

If you ever FOMO’d before… I feel you 😅

Tip: Always check pricing + return policies. Wait 24–48 hours before buying so you can choose with a clear head 🙌

If you also struggle with impulse buying, comment ME or send me a DM — I’m working on resources to help collectors make smarter decisions. 👊

FOMO hits everyone — learning from it is what makes us smarter collectors 💛

Dopamine vs Discipline — it’s the battle nobody ta

Dopamine vs Discipline — it’s the battle nobody talks about in collecting, investing, or even daily life.

We don’t just chase items or trades… we chase a feeling. A hit. A moment of excitement.

But long-term joy, growth, and peace come from slowing down — not chasing the next quick high.

———————
💡 One small disciplined choice today beats a dopamine spike that fades tomorrow.
💡 Commit to your long-term self, not short-term excitement.
💡 Your hobby, your investments, your mind — they deserve balance.

Which dopamine trap are you noticing in your life right now? Drop it in the comments 💬 and let’s tackle it together.

I’m sharing this because I’ve gone through these patterns myself — acting fast, chasing excitement, and calling it “strategy.” I even tried day trading for years!
This isn’t about criticism.
It’s about becoming more aware of our habits and choosing actions that support our long-term goals, not just our short-term emotions.
We all deserve to feel confident in the choices we make — in collecting, investing, and life.
Small, intentional steps create real progress.
Social media tricks us into thinking fast results are the norm… but that approach rarely lasts. Remember slow and steady wins the race.
I hope this inspires you to move with more clarity, patience, and purpose. 💛✨

I quit selling Pokémon because the hate got too loud.
Lies, bullying, and rumors pushed me out… but true love never dies and I kept collecting!💛

Therapy has helped me heal, and now I’m finding my way back — on my terms.

If you’ve ever left something you loved because of fear, doubt, or hate… this is your sign to come back.
Not for them. For YOU. ✨

I left the Pokémon hobby because my mental health

I left the Pokémon hobby because my mental health matters more. I needed to pause… and find myself again.

Stepping back taught me something important:
you can always return to what lights you up inside.

I’m not the biggest collector or seller.
And I’m not here to flex or compete.

I’m here to heal. To grow.
To enjoy this hobby again with kindness, honesty, and peace.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, insecure, or scared to show your passion…
this space is for you.

Here’s to coming back.
Here’s to choosing joy.
Here’s to never missing out on our own story again. 💛✨

Did you know there’s no such thing as a 1999 Japan

Did you know there’s no such thing as a 1999 Japanese Pikachu Trophy card? 👀

The only true Pikachu trophies were awarded in 1997 and 1998, across multiple official tournament events in Japan.

🔹 1997: The first-ever Pikachu Trophies — awarded at the original tournament. Highly iconic and historically significant.
🔹 1998 (2nd & 3rd Events): Official continuations with new event stamps, extremely limited, and often even scarcer in surviving population than 1997.

PSA has occasionally mislabeled some as “1999,” which causes confusion — but they’re actually 1998 Third Event cards.

These trophies were never available to the public — they were awarded to winners, making them some of the rarest Pokémon cards ever printed. 🏆⚡️

📚 Lesson: Always check the text in the description, year and known population data — not just the PSA label.
