Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I have double sleeved MTG cards from two decades ago just sitting in storage. Not because I think it's an investment, I just don't care anymore. People who do the rubber band and sock approach have their values straight. Have fun playing

Yeah, my mom used to be upset that I didn't hold onto my old pokemon cards, but not only did I never have any rare ones that would be worth anything anyway, I used them how I wanted to when I wanted to, and when they stopped interesting me, I gave them to someone who was still interested. I don't regret that.

Right on. You paid for the cards and had a good time. You don't need to get any money back. The money was well spent. Giving your cards away without regret while enriching the life of a new player is very rewarding. You just know how much they appreciate it and how much joy they will receive from it. Much better experience than hoarding.
