Viscous Cycle

I love collecting. I have a toploader binder with about 600 of my pulled and bought singles. I own no sealed product - nor do i want it. I like shiny cardboard - and I love watching the market move on the Collectr app. I do sell the occasional single at card shows but I mainly go to trade singles I pulled.

Now for my confession - I cleaned out a Dollar General today for 12 White Flare/Black Bolt Poster collections and one 2 pack tin (pulled the Mega Zygarde SIR) . I am going to rip everything except for the two boxes I am giving my girlfriend's daughter as a graduation gift.

I never find product at MSRP - so am I an ass for doing this? Am i part of the problem?

We are ripping multiple boxes today - I'll show my hits this afternoon as proof!
