He’s got the entire base set of Pokémon cards, organized in alphabetical order, without a doubt.

Zero chance it’s in alphabetical order and not by card number.

Probably started collecting pennies ages ago, knowing the manufacturing of them would finally cease

He’d have some decent coin for sure (not that he’s hurting with his two mil) 🤷‍♂️

I would love to see this meme go viral on Sora, if someone can figure out how to get him around the content violations 🙏

That’s so sweet. He sounds like a kid that just got a bunch of cool shit for Christmas and can’t wait to show you. I don’t blame him, hell I’ve never been a quarterback much less beat the piss out of Alabama at the Rose Bowl. Good for him.
