📖 Trade Stories

Every card has a story. Here's how each piece of my Zoroark collection came to be through the art of trading.

📍 Knick Knack Card Shop
Hello Guys,

So this card is a weird pickup for me. It was grabbed from a very well hidden card shop. I say that because if you aren't looking directly at the shop you will never notice the words "Trading Cards" in it's signage.

Knick Knack is a place I go to pretty often. Since starting this journey wanted to hit them after I got back from Darkside Games. I always check their wall of freebies and their he was. Doing some "Foul Play" hiding behind a Charmander from Phantasmal Flames. It was on their wall so it meant that it was free.

🃏 Zoroark Reverse Holo - Black & White
As always, SA Collectibles Vegas has weird finds that I get from them. From E-Card Switches to a CGC 9 Arven. I found the BW Base Set Reverse Holo Zoroark just in there bulk box. It looks great too. I was so confused. The price was a bit higher than I wanted to pay but I am okay with that.
Well that's a heavy title right? allow me to explain. I improved recently to a new home and I got a new car. my wife is happy. my kids are happy but now I have to start my zorark collection. pretty much almost all over again. I hate to say it. sometimes you have to let things go to go forward and these new things that I got in my life I really had to evaluate. do I need this or do I need that? and that being my little collection so I'm going to have to re-get some of them. the bigger cards I actually got my hands on the altar for Arc and Greninja and I was so happy I was like this is one of the big haters I can finally get in off of here but in order to get into the place that I was at I had and I needed an additional $300 so us it had to go and I hated it but I had to go and then there was other bills that came up so I had to let go of other stuff as well and I didn't program in the site anyway for me to just recollect anything so I'm going to have to really think about that as well. or if I sold the card what I sold it at as well as if I re-recollected a card how that would actually be entered into the system so it will show like you know the date of release and the date of re-acquisition joe. now when it comes to my health which is the reason I started all of this happens. I'm having difficulty getting upstairs now. I'm extremely winded when I get upstairs I am lost hearing in one of my ears. that's just life right? what can you do? you just moved to the next day right?
