How Do You Put On Unferwear

Trading Card Crimes

One of my hobbies are comics.
Not so Trash as Superman / Spider-Man, rather something like The Chronicles of Black Moon and direction. Also highly recommended is Persopolis if something should be richer.

usually enough for me but a good story to good pictures, which is staged not dopey-trivial (like the last volume of Asterix, choke). Then be super heroes being allowed to, as the latest excesses of the Marvel Universe, Ultimate Spider-Man (yes, I know) and especially the Ultimates that spray formally with ideas.

Before I was a passionate Magic, the Gathering player until my stuff was too expensive it was - got into the cards within 5 years, with some € 1000 inserted - estimated.

Today Magic is still very popular with younger players is currently in something else: Yu-Gi-Oh
Yu-Gi-Oh is an anime series that was created for the sole purpose to the gleichnahmige TCG - very successfully - to apply.

goes into the pocket money of course, as a card deck with 15 random cards about 4, - € costs. And before you pull the wrong card, that you need more packet (called boosters) and, above all, more MONEY!

Traditional steal the money at Mama from the piggy bank and a good dealers (such as where my comics regularly buy) does not ask, if 11-year-old from time to time with NEM € 100 green pieces everytime.


This time, however, I had the pleasure of being present when angry parents a box of Yu-Gi-Oh cards to the store dragging and threatened the owner with a lawyer and press, if he the shit not to repudiate them it paid off the money that their young offspring Daddy has stolen from the black money fund.

Of course it is difficult to determine, is how much of the stolen money ended up with him and how much at McDonald's and Toys'R'Us, but the Yu-Gi-Oh-moving box showed accusingly at a very special store.

end buckled the holder of an un latzte at least part of the money that was stolen hard in exchange for the card and now think about it:
How much can an approximately 12-year-old inside claw of 3 months with the parents and verbal learning, without any except some trading card enriches the children?
