That's the fate pokemon cards were created to have. To be played with and loved until they're a fuzzy faded piece of trash in their 4th kid's closet.
Nowadays far more people seem to collect to sell then to play, its why graded cards are so common. Sucks MTG is heading there too.

Haha, normally I see her and think magic the gathering and get confused. Makes for some great headlines though
I knew a bunch of dudes that did that with Magic cards back during revised. They would collect alpha, beta, and unlimited cards only to sell.
Always has and always will be people only to collect, in anything. Right now I rarely see a graded magic card, even in card shops. Magic is to play, not collect imo, but as hasbro tries to woo collectors, the game gets more expensive and harder to just play.
I had a friend who sleeved and foldered all his cards even back in fourth grade, some 20+ years ago.
He did well anyway, but I'm sure he still has that collection and it must be worth a fucking fortune.
