The hits keep coming from Erin. This was Patreon-exclusive content for a while but now it’s free for the masses.
0:00 – She says “training card” as opposed to “trading card”. Right? Let me listen again. Yeah, I think so. Why bother doing a second take?
So anyway, she’s showing the binder. It’s on her Sailor Moon bedsheets or blanket or something. The binder itself is purple and has a small, rectangular Sailor Moon sticker on the front. “SAILOR MOON TRADING CARDS” is written on the front in gold glitter pen and the word “cards” in the title is oddly askew.
Erin teases that she also has a binder of “Buffy” cards, presumably the vampire slayer, Little Mermaid. Power Rangers and Pokemon cards. We can all look forward to those videos. Or maybe that’s Patreon exclusive content.
She zoomed in on the binder and it says “97 to 98” on it. So she says that she was 9 or 10 years old.
Wait a minute. That would mean that her year of birth was 1987. That’s what I thought. But then why is her X-Box username is Cykill86?
0:45 – She opens the binder. “I have a lot of memories attached to these cards.”
Okay. Let’s hear them. I want wacky anecdotes.
She would get them from a vending machine in Toys R Us with her mother. That’s it. That’s the extent of her memories. It wasn’t exactly “a lot” was it?
1:45 – “This one I think is really cute.”
Huh. A hologram card that says “The Winning Team” and there are some Sailor Moon characters on it. Umm…okay.
She proceeds to just read the cards. Every card seems to have a caption on them. So she’s reading them. This is entertainment right here. I’m glad that I got rid of my tv.
2:15 – Now she’s reading the back of some random card.
Ha! She said “Uranus” the PC way. But she hesitated before she said it. She was going to say it the un-PC way but then she caught herself. Wouldn’t that be terrible if Erin said “Uranus” as in “yer anus”? She would never be able to live it down.
Then she looks at the back of a different card. “I like how Serena is trademarked.”
Hehe. Copyright symbols. They’re so cute. You got the little “c” with a circle around it. Adorable.
Oh wait. That’s copyright. Erin was talking about trademarks. That’s the tiny “TM” floating in the air. Still cute, though.
2:45 – “I just love these trading cards. I’m so *nostalgic* for these.”
This is top tier content right here, boys.
3:45 – Erin says that she would look at these cards and draw from them. What about an Erin Draws channel? Fuck this “plays” shit. She doesn’t play video games. But what about a drawing channel? It might be something that she’s genuinely interested in. Just Erin drawing “cute” pictures.
Oh, by the way, this video was taken when Erin was visiting her parents.
4:00 – “I always liked that pink/purple background with the white stars”.
Oh great. Some of that riveting hue discussion.
5:00 – She confuses the words “set” and “pack”. She says that she got cards from a “set” but meant that she got them from a “pack”. Then she corrects herself. “It’s been so long. I need to remember.”
She “forgot” the difference between a “set” of cards and a “pack” of cards. She “always” “forgets” that.
Easy mistake to make. A set of cards. A pack of cards. Who the fuck really knows the difference? Other than anyone who ever had even a passing familiarity with trading cards.
5:15 – She describes the cards as “shiny”. Oh, sure. Those are foil cards. They were all the rage in “the 90s”. You remember “the 90s”, right, Erin? And trading cards? They came in packs? You’d try to collect the whole set? You know what I mean?
“The holographic look was very in…he…in the 90s”
There you go. I knew that Erin knew what she was talking about. Erin knows all about “the 90s”.
6:00 – She was flipping through the pages and said, “Oh wait, wait, wait, wait” and flipped back. “That one’s cute.”
Oh thank fuck. How awful if we would have missed that great piece of commentary.
6:15 – She mentions another cute card but I’m unsure which one she was referring to. This will haunt me the rest of my days.
“I don’t know how to play cards. I sure as hell didn’t know how to play any card games back then.”
She’s talking about regular card games. You know…that use a deck of 52 cards…2 through 10, jack, queen, king, ace…like Bicycle playing cards. Erin doesn’t know how to play card games. ANY card game. To this day, she doesn’t know how to play cards.
Go fish? Never played it before.
Poker? Never played it before.
Gin rummy? Never played it before.
You name it and she’s never played it before. How the fuck is this possible?
6:45 – Erin mentions, for the second or third time, that she thinks that some of these cards are bootleg. She doesn’t say “bootleg”. She “forgot” that term. But she says that they’re “not official”.
The bootleg stuff is probably worth more than the official stuff. And these playing cards that she has are probably worth something because maybe most kids actually used the playing cards to play card games. So Erin should look up the prices. Maybe she can get some money from this shit.
Let me look this up. 1998 Sailor Moon playing cards. Naoko Takeuchi, whatever that means. Looks to be what she has. Thirteen bucks on Ebay for the full deck of cards. Oh well.
So that’s the video. “Let me know if you guys have any trading cards (heavy sigh) that you still have.”
She doesn’t give a fuck about what cards Shishi and the gang have.
I used to buy cards by the box from a mail order company. The box had, whatever, 36 packs in it. I got a Spider-Man box (I don’t know what series), a Marvel Masterpieces box (the first one), a Lady Death box, a couple of old DC cards that I don’t remember what they were called but the boxes were cheap so I ended up getting two of them, and I got some kind of art cards from a card/comic book show that I went to. I won it in some raffle. They were like Conan the Barbarian type art.
I probably got some other shit too. Also, I’d buy miscellaneous packs if I’d see something in the shops. I got a card signed by Rob Liefeld from a pack. It’s $400 on Ebay but I don’t think anyone is interested at that price.
I also had the Lady Death mystery chase card. Is that worth anything? Mmm…$52 for the full six card set. I don’t have the full set. I have about four of the six. Still…that’s okay, I guess.
I didn’t even like Lady Death. I never read any of the comics. I was just buying jerk off material at that point. Not that I ever did jerk off to any fucking cards or comic books. My stuff is all in mint condition, as far as I’m aware. I haven’t seen it years. I left it in my family home, like Erin has done. Maybe it’s all gone.
And there are no duplicates with Erin’s cards. What did she do with the duplicates? Trade them away? I don’t think that she had any friends to be able to do that.
I put the duplicates in the box that they came in. You know, I bet the boxes are worth something. Just the empty display boxes. I’m not seeing anything on Ebay. That’s a good sign, maybe. Suggests that it’s rare. Or that nobody wants empty boxes.
Holy shit. These 1994 Marvel Masterpieces are going for $100 a set. I must have three sets. And this doesn’t even include the fake autographed variant cards that came one per pack. Fuck. I’m sitting on a gold mine of nerd shit. I’ve done WAY better than Erin and her $12 Sailor Moon cards.
Anyway, let’s check out the comments. I caught this video early so there are only a few.
Somebody mentions the Sailor Moon collectible card game. Yeah. That’s another box of cards that I got. Not fucking Sailor Moon but there was some Marvel collectible card game. I might even have two boxes. That was surely a bad move. I thought that it would be like the next Magic: The Gathering, but no. Nobody played this shit and I think that the cards were pretty expensive. Let me look this up…
Holy shit. Somebody is selling a sealed box for like $1000.
Marvel Overpower. I don’t know. These cards seem to be going for like a buck a piece. That’s pretty good. Assuming that these Ebay prices are accurate. Well, it’s a phenomenal price, if that’s accurate. How many cards in a pack? Eight? No way did I pay eight bucks for a pack. And eight times 36…$288. That’s okay.
Anyway, Erin is boring as fuck.
By the way, I attempted to watch the latest AVGN. As here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KC_h3VkXbI
I had to turn it off at about the halfway point. I’m just done with it. The bad acting, the bad writing. AVGN has officially become unwatchable.
It doesn’t help that James talked about wanting a buffalo to literally take a shit on his face. I mean…I strongly suspected that he had a poo fetish but this is just outright confirmation of it. And way more disgusting than I even imagined. How can anyone look at him the same way after that?
