Verified Trader,
As with a lot of people, the recent increase of pricing in the hobby have forced me to take a back seat to collecting. I also went through a phase where I was in a bad place and decided to sell most of my collection. My wife and I had tried for about 8 years to have kids. We tried natural :rock: , IVF, IUI, NHL, FBI, ETC.... When none of these worked, naturally I was really down, and decided to sell everything because I wouldn't have anyone to share my passion with. Right before COVID we decided to apply and take courses to be licensed Foster Parents. It was a tough road, but worked out well. We were placed with a 5-month old baby boy in August. He had a rough start to his life, I will spare the details, but he was absolutely the center of our world. I say was, because he now has to share that with his baby sister. We decided the week after we got him to use 1 of our 3 remaining eggs. 1 of the bad eggs as they referred to it... Boy were they ever wrong... I now have a 15 month old Son and a 3 Month Old Daughter... She was born March 18th, 4 days before his 1st Birthday, and 1 week after my 39th. She graced up 6 weeks early, and made us visit the NICU for 13 days, but she is doing GREAT! Time will tell if we are able to remain a family of 4, he still has hoops to go through, but right now life is all good.
I even started picking up some items from WHATNOT after getting addicted watching Jeremy's first auction...
Random, but cheap, kind of felt bad for a new seller.

These were from a baseball guy. Won them multitasking at work. They came with a bunch of Pinnacle Mint Coins, misc. inserts and rookies. I don't even think some of the stuff I received was in the lots of won.

This final card popped up for $26 while I was in parking lot of MOE's, babies in back smiling.

Thanks for the read if you made it this far. I really hope the market slows down. I would like to be able to build up a PC again, but I am thrilled to be buying Diapers, Formula, and unappreciated toys after a long wait!!!
