He "retired" to stream on Twitch, hence the Twitch streamer part of my title.
Cmon Boomer get with the times! Remember how we joked we could afford a cardboard house?
" As for what makes Logic's card so rare ... It's shadowless ... meaning the typical shadow on the right side of the art is absent. "
If its actually shadowless I would pay to get it graded by a company and then sell that asap. It its not shadowless I would hold onto it for now, market is still growing wait for collectors to swoop up all of the first edition charizards then put it on the market. Still will probably need to get it graded tho.
This makes me want to go hunting in my attic. I know we have those old collector's card books full of cards.
Attic spiders have probably claimed them as their own.

Leonhart, the popular pokemon card puller, pulled a 1st edition Blastoise. I had a few when I was younger :(
Seems to me like that cash would go a lot further raising his child, but hey, maybe this is nothing money to him?

Dude's a multi-millionaire and is currently getting paid a 7-figure sum by Twitch to stream. So, I imagine that plus his residuals means he has more than enough money to buy dumb things for the hell of it.
What does this have to do with suicide? Also, I'm now curious to know if there are pro-suicide former rappers out there.

He's someone that advocates against suicide, as exemplified in his 2017 smash hit, "1-800-273-8255".
The title of his biggest hit is the phone number for the national suicide prevention hotline
That money would literally change my life. And someone just spend on a worthless card. I'm salty lmfao
I used to like Logic, you know, the rapper? Eh, but after the needledrop reviews him so poorly I just don't really care for his music now.
Dug mine out and it's a shadowed unfortunately, but it's interesting how the value of these has gone up so much over time. I priced my collection several years ago and cards that were going for $10-$15 then are going for $400-$500 now. Weird times.
No reason not to just hold onto them longer at this point.

I mean, there's a vast spectrum of rappers currently existing in hip-hop, each with their own views and opinions. You never really know what side a person is on, especially when it comes to sensitive issues. For example:
I mean ... do what makes you happy and all. However, card collecting whether it's sports-based or for card games is just weird to me when the price points hit numbers would change an average person's life. It's "rare", sure, but it's worth absolutely nothing.
That Charizard wasn't even that good. Burning 2 turns of energy for a big attack that over killed was never worth since only Chaney even got close to that health, significantly worse than Venasaurs freely transfer Grass Energy between Pokemon as I wish or Blastoises just equip an unlimited number of water energy each turn.
Charizard fans are weird. Well if they have money to spend, might as well make a profit on them.

If this is a joke, I'm going to be honest, I really don't get it
Except Logic is actually a decent and talented rapper. Never understood why people have so much stigma for him, guess it's the popular thing to do nowadays.
