I was looking at my binders of Pokémon cards the other day, and I remembered something when I came across my collection of fakes.
About 12-13 years ago, there were kids in neighborhood who would go to the Swap Meet with their parents on the weekend. They would spend their allowance of some cards. One of the kids hung out with Ashton at the time, and one day he was over and the three of us were playing the card game. I noticed something was strange about some of his cards and realized they were fake. It made me mad, and so, since I had a few extras of the real card, I gave him a real card and took the fake one. Every weekend after that, anytime he bought any new loose cards from the Swap Meet, the kid would come to me so I could inspect them for him.
If I came across other fakes in the few the kid brought to me over time, and I had extras of the real card, I would trade again. The rarer cards I wasn't to do that with. :[ I showed him what to look for so that he wouldn't ripped off again.
It upset me a lot that the Swap Meet vendor would steal from kids like that. But then again, did the vendor know that those cards were fake? Did they do it on purpose? Why?

Holiday Thoughts
So, today is Mardi Gras. That means Lent is on its way!
Catholic or not, I think EVERYONE should give up driving for Lent. Spend forty days literally walking a mile in my shoes. I would then hope that after Lent, people would be better drivers and be more considerate when encountering pedestrians.
Vaccines Are Good
In my opinion, (if plausible) all newborns should be vaccinated at birth. Or, it should be a requirement, again if plausible, that all infants should be vaccinated before leaving the hospital. Or, if you don't vaccinate your kids within a timely manner, you get hit with huge fines. Also, ALL insurances should cover ALL vaccines.
I remember that I wasn't able to go to junior high until I got some shots and a TB test. The school absolutely refused to enroll me without the medical records proving that my vaccinations were up to date.
Therefore, anti-vaxxers are, in my opinion, domestic bio-terrorists, letting their children run around and poss

The vast majority of people are out to make money and could care less about who they rob to make a profit. Worst of all there were a couple of drive around icecream trucks who also sold cards at the time, and they ripped off a lot of children too as I recall. I remember several of the kids who you taught the spotting fakes deal, and warned away from strange set up wrappers along the way.
