I recently got back into pokemon card collecting, replacing my previous sneaker obsession with a slightly more affordable one. However, one of the biggest challenges with such a hobby is scalpers, a new set dropped today and I was extremely displeased to find out that all the retail stores around me that had picked it up were sold out in under an hour. But I don't regret missing my opportunity, I prioritized more important tasks and still got to enjoy the thrill of searching for them, even if I was let down.
