Thank you, man. That was deep. God bless you too. And yeah, I don’t regret having happiness as a kid. I wish it didn’t come at a 1M price tag, but my dad was/is a good man and just wanted his son to have fun after school.  Interesting you say sky ridge because that and the aqua polis and EX 2000 sets were most of what he brought back…plenty of them factory first printing. I’m not sure if you can even find some of those on eBay anymore. I opened all of them trying to get a holographic charizard that got stolen from me in 2nd grade anyways 😭.  The memories I’ll never sell though. It’s not the money but knowing how happy I was without a job or goals or responsibilities. And you know that’s priceless. still, it taught me a lesson: the next best time to plant a tree is now. Last few years I started scouting and buying blister and booster packs for sets that I think could skyrocket in value a decade from now. Been doing this steadily as an investment. One day my kids will thank me 🫡
