Tell them you plead the fifth American amendment and then play the star spangled banner on your electric guitar while wearing assless denim jeans and American flag underwear. Tell them if he's American, he's automatically innocent.

Bagholders can't be saved because, instead of selling for a loss at the first sign a trade going wrong and reallocating the remaining capital to performing assets, they're just hoping and praying for a miracle. But here's a gold star for you: https://preview.redd.it/uvbe5pdmayph1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4b7d7bebfde7903093c8cf20ab302aa3c0e4753

The aqupolis one are probably my brothers favorite! Among his and my collection (most of which we bought slowly as we got older) we are probably close to 10mil worth (off the top of my head) but those again are strictly staying in our collection to relive those childhood moments, to hear most of them were skyridge oooof lol trust me man I know the feeling sucks at times like "if I jusy saved 5%, of what I opened I'd have a house!"  Yes id say invest now even in the sealed; the same way you think of your dad your kids will think of you, have a small set aside for him to live the same happy memories you did and have the rest saved up for his emergency, those pokemon we think look dumb af now design wise to THEM looks like our first charizard or mewtwo looks! A lot of modern day even now will become tomorrow's gold star charizard, or coro coro mew, again man wish nothing but the best for you and I mean it thank you for sharing your story, it really did bring a smile to my face

I will tell you this though my brother; though we may look back at the "what ifs" you also look back at the "what did"  You made lasting memories of your old man bringing you things he'd know you'd love; to me i say a big reason cards are worth as much now (currently have a few packs of skyridge and some wotc boosters along with 2 gold star rayquazas and some more current day bif chase cards) is because we are chasing something we lost along the way as kids, that hint of happiness you had tearing into those cards or that firsr holographic you got as a kid, you remember that (even the bad memories like if a card got stolen or lost) but that tinge of nostalgia is to me a big reason the cards are worth as much today (especially wotc era) so I say even with that opportunity lost you came out a winner, the kind of riches money can't buy today, akin to having good health you had a father who cared. I know being poor growing up i could only afford certain things, there's days I want to open something boxes i own jusy because I never got to open them as a kid, I won't sell them because I don't need the money but that feeling you had opening as a kid id trade millions for without hesitation. So while you may not have the net worth you have the memory many would envy; I enjoyed reading your story my brother and may God continue blessing you and your old man

The music in the background is shit, 1 star

No, but I guess you should take it as a lesson to do it yourself. Oh and chargeback the credit card, and leave 1 star review.

Most of you will end up being the star of a financial snuff film.....
