Are video games the next baseball cards?

TEKTORO: I just stopped reading his comments a long time ago.

Lol I feel ya, sorry to blast the guy but pretty sure he'll be on soon with some smug contradiction. To be back on topic I think games will fair better than baseball cards because of the entertainment factor, not to mention video games are still a new form of entertainment compared to other media. In other words there's still room for innovation before the buzz fizzles.

He is why I am not around much. Can't stand his lunacy.

It really does feel like dogpiling, y'all. If it's that bad, just ignore it. I do it with quite a few others, too, because it's not worth getting worked up too much about it.

I was at the Swap Meet last Sunday where a reseller was grabbing every Wii game without even looking at the titles. Curses, I saw a couple in his hands that I would have bought and even more so when he bought them for fifty cents each! Really, resellers that never even play the games are the lower then whale piss! The guy at the booth was not smart either, some of those games had that mustache plumber in the game titles!

I've seen that, I've given up being pissed at it when I see it as there's no point as it's clear what's going on and I feel sorry for anyone who will take it in the nose on the back end. Seems as it is at least with this thread there's a divide here of people where you, me, and others are fed up with this stuff and vent over it, then you have another who don't care/supportive of it/love to harass for sport. Whatever the case may be. Personally I'm tired of it, the only thing stopping me from really speaking my mind at this rate on a one to one level is that I'd get banned for what kind of things I'd suggest people go do to themselves. Obviously reading posts here I can't say much because the bitch retort comment here is that I think people are ganging up on me and I can't be objective on that because I'm the target. It's a shame when you can only share certain opinions on a forum such as this, hive mind stuff, or you're on the outside but it is what it is.

And tek--fuck you and your smug contradiction bullshit right there. I'm not going to even waste my time with some long drawn out bit. Have fun with the piling on of it all, I'm not going to just change to make the club members happy.

I've got every right to vent over seeing the destruction of a nearly life long hobby of mine going back to the mid 80s. The fact that baseball cards, comics and the sort were brought up as a comparison to start this topic especially caught my interest because both of those got ruined on me when I was barely a teenager yet due to the shit going on now as it's some sick re-run of sorts. Call it childhood trauma or whatever, but I'll never be happy about it, resolved to totally accept it, or anything else of the sort.

Uhhh, as long as people keep paying the prices, the trend will continue. Supply and demand, etc.

Folks, can we disagree with/dislike each other a tad more civilly? Direct insults and directed foul language are frowned upon. Keep that in mind.

Not sure why a pokemon go post ended up here.

This thread is making miss the simple pleasure of quietly filing my Topps cards in a shoebox and chewing brittle bubble gum.

Actually resellers who sells video games outside are actually killing games overtime. How, they bake them in the sun having little clue what game it was. Dust, dirt, germs, grime from outside weather can destroy any game. Resellers don't clean and it just looks like junk from the past. Super mario bros nes is practically a free game cause it was bundle and re-sold/ported more often: 40.23 million carts or more. Some don't care if its damage. Would you buy $5-$15 game or eat something fantastic on that day, burgers or tacos or bbq?

Baseball cards thin piece of paper while games are media cartridges. People or sellers don't care about about the ugly factors just greedy money making schemes. Does it work? the Risk or chances or abandon into the garbage.
