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.
