Wait how much were they worth? Asking for a friend

Holy Shit
The woman that takes her husbands 1st edition MTG cards in is my favorite.
It also makes me sad knowing my mom sold all our cards, and we had them ALL through when they first released the “gold” mana type.
All. Of. Them.
Sold at a church thrift sale likely.
Long while ago some antique show had someone bring in a Commodore 64 in full working order. The antique guy was like I was like “well some old nerd will pay a lot of money for this”. I was like hell yeah, thank you so much for not chucking it in ewaste, and oh yeah, argh, I’m getting older.
aw fuck i just checked the value of my systems and it was not good. oh well i kept em to play em anyways
If the point is that you felt old, you should’ve felt old watching a show about antiquing and enjoying it.
I certainly wasn’t enjoying seeing pokemon cards on it.
I used to watch Bargain Hunt, before I started boycotting the Beeb.
Loved that show.
Pfft, I heard them refer to All the small things by Blink 182 as classic rock on the radio once… that fucking ruined me.
i mean isn’t classic rock anything older than 15 years? that was how it was in the 90s iirc
Last night I listened to Avril Lavigne’s I’m With You on repeat like 20 times. I remembered it as being “of my time”, figured I was a teen when it came out
It came out in 2002, I was 8, and Avril Lavigne is not just a little older than me, not early 30s, she’s 41.
Fuck.
Jayzis! Give a gal a warning before you spill her fuckin guts out!
It’s been over a decade since I heard a DJ on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation refer to Blink-182 and Red Hot Chili Peppers as “nostalgia bands”
It’s a gut punch you can never be ready for. Brace yourself GenZ, it’s coming for you soon.
a couple years ago the local alternative station said “for today’s throwback here’s Macklemore’s Thrift Shop”.
also obligatory “When did Mötley Crüe become classic rock?”
My friends said I should act my age. What’s my age again?
What the hell is call ID?
No, really, if you know what call ID is, you’re old.
43
I don’t think that’s too old to know ‘What’s my age again’ by Blink-182
20 years later and still no one likes you
to be fair more people liked me back then
I have a binder about that size of cards of approximately that generation. I should check what it’s worth.
Apparently, not a lot unless they’re both very rare and you’ve also paid some 3rd party grading service to grade it for you (who are the ones making the real money of collectible cards).
Indeed! A few years ago I saw a video about how grading companies and auction houses collude to push up the price of old videogames, because they both earn a % of the auction price.
