Hi, me during the pandemic my job was considered an essential service so we were out there cleaning up. So then I was bored hey, so I’d get on the ebay and purchase all kinds of stuff including NFL cards. I bought just at the right time a Lamar Jackson rookie card 2018 PANINI PRIZM #212 FOR 80$CAD, sent it in the get graded, so 120$CAD invested maybe, I LOVE FLIPPING STUFF!!!!!😁 then, out of nowhere collectibles went berzerk! It hiked in value to 650$CAD zone, so I sold it and made a killin’. Ehm, then, oops, I wanted to repeat this simple, so I thought with speculation, money making strategy, so I broke the cardinal rule and bought high thinking for some reason Lamar, who performs SO good would with the rising collectibles market skyrocket these PSA cards to megaland cash in hand here always of course, never invest more than you’re willing to lose, Alas they dumped right and I’m waiting a bit for three of them to rise in price to make my money back on them but don’t care, they’re a quick 150-200$CAD if I want some chips.🤣 Lol! then, unfortunately me beautiful mom passed away at some point before the onslaught of Covid, miss you Mom! So I was given a couple bucks, I was Truste of her estate and set up the funeral and all that etc. etc. SO, I went bananas buying pants from China, a weird telescope thing that never arrived BUT!!!!!! CGC comics I discovered!!!!! I made a double killin’ here! I bought a non cgc Ultimate Fallout 4 for around 800$CAD I think, anyways I sent it in and Lo and Behold it came back a 9.8 guys!!! NOW, IT WAS WORTH ANYWERE BETWEEN 2000$CAD AND NO JOKE 7000$ EVEN!!!! Now THAT is a flip! My family is bouche bee!😊 Many more I bought and I have an ok collection here in my condo. SO, then, guess what? The Nico ran out of the CRAZY spending money right, boohoo no fancy shoe lol!!!!!!, so I started double shifting at work, but still not enough i felt at the time SO I answered an ad online for a delivery driver class G 5 ton, and Lo and Behold I was driving. Leased a car, saved tons, bought all kinds of stuff, bought dividend stocks, got into crypto which has now gone to the moon etc. bought tons of stuff. It was great fun. AND restaurants etc. old folk’s homes needed good fresh food right, always a need, so the truck shop never shut down during Covid. Ehm, so ya, I was also planning a trip to Shikoku Island where there are the 88 shrines of the Buddha! But plane travel ceased, so cue the pants from China! Swish swish! To tight are the ways of sino-pantology.😶. Now, it’s a trip once a year and lots of love and cheer!!!!!

Thank you for reading!!!
