This reminds me of my best friend. Growing up he played yugioh, to the point he made it to nationals in Chicago and got invited to play in japan. He would min max a deck with cards that are “banned” now and would make the morbidly obese manchilds rage (like the ones in this article) he probably made over 2k just playing local tournaments which was good money for a 13/14 year old and he’s been selling old cards lately for even more.
He’s making about 10k a year off collectible selling on eBay and the like. His younger brother has about 50k worth of collectible cards just sitting in boxes in his mom’s basement according to him. Imagine being able to pay off a good chunk of a house today just from Pokémon and yugioh cards.

Until you said Chicago I thought we might have known each other irl. I've gotten a deck banned in the past as well, and sold a fair few prize cards.

Yeah my card career financed my first car.
