Dad tries to sell Pokémon Cards at garage sale

[owennelson]

My dad did that shit to me as a teenager. Luckily a buddy of mine pulled up with his family and had an idea what was going on. So he bought the cards just to give them back to me in school the next day. That’s a good friend right there.

damn it's crazy cause he's gonna be in a nursing home that costs less than those cards 💀

My cousins dad threw out all their old Pokémon cards but he made sure to keep his worthless baseball cards lol 😅

Classic example of “if I don’t have interest in it, it must have no value” that had to be hundreds worth in value

And that is what we call a nursing home speedrun.

In the full video the kid is actually the one whose rejects the sale. The dad even told him beforehand that he needed to be sure if we wanted to sell them bc he didn’t their actual value and once they’re gone, they’re gone and they can’t get it back. He was fully supporting them and didn’t want them to regret their decision. 👏🏻

My dad did that to me when I was a kid, like I grew up when Pokemon cards first hit, I remember the start of it all. had stacks on stacks of 1st edition cards from the original set, jungle, rocket etc. I had so many holos including Charizard, Blastoise, Alakazam, Chansey, Machamp and many others. My dad was a geek I guess you could say, heavy into collecting and selling collectibles.He found me and my friends battling and trading one day, saw my holographic cards and told me he would "put them up somewhere safe for me" so I didn't ruin them because they might be worth something someday. I never saw them again. And now my 6 year old daughter is super into Pokemon cards and we collect them together, I would have loved to pass them down to her and see how excited she would have been to get to enjoy all the cards I collected from when I was her age.

kind of parents that wish you were 18+ to kick you out of your house on your birthday.

Fast forward 30 years and it's "I don't speak with my father. I have no idea what he is up to. He calls sometimes but I ignore him."

[jazify]

My grandma straight up threw my cards in the trash when I was little said I don’t want you playing with devil toys. years later I’m still buying them 😤😤

[MrJaywalk]

I remember the quilt I had as a kid I loved it so much. It wasnt a problem, I didn’t take it anywhere and I was able to sleep out easily, I just loved the way it felt and the way I felt when sleeping with it. It had a huuuuge rip in it but I didn’t care.

One day I came home and my dad had got rid of it. I cried my eyes out and he didn’t care. I’ll never forget that…

And this right here is why some kids dont talk to their parents anymore

Edit: a lot of reactions on both sides which are valid. It doesn't have to just be Pokemon cards. I saw a comment about their cat being taken away without their knowing which happened to me too. 2 cats and a dog just gone behind my back. It's not just about the specific item. It's the principle behind it. The meaning and attachments you or I have behind the gifts. As a kid, you have 0 say in any matter just cuz you're a kid who "knows nothing". Shit just sucks

[tedwillkinson]

That first binder alone would have been devastating you can see the love the kids put into those

[bigbear]

Similar thing happened with my mom and my transformers. I had a 1st edition anniversary toys-r-us exclusive masterpieces Optimus Prime my grandpa got me for $80. Mom threw it away because "you're too old for toys" I showed her that that same toy went for $1000+ now.

Never force kids to sell their childhood toys. They have to part with them themselves.

[jennabader]

I hate when parents do that. It's like they have no respect for their children and what's important to them in life.

[paradarks]

"Why don't my kids talk to me anymore??"

This is why, Harold.

My mom tried to do this to me when I was an adult. I just went through a nasty split from my ex so I moved back home for a bit. My mom was having a yard sale and just started grabbing stuff regardless of who it belonged to. I had just bought a brand new Carhartt Coat and overalls. My brother comes and gets me and hands me my Carhartt coat. She had it out for 25 cents. A coat I just spent $100 on 2 months prior she basically stole to sell for a freaking quarter.

I did the same sh*t with my dads gold clubs because he sold my Yu-Gi-Oh cards and pokemon cards so we were even ever since 😂😅 lmao 🤣

[enovilt]
