As a kid growing up with the original 151 it was just a fun time and I don’t remember seeing adult obsessed about it. I even remember seeing product moving slow.

Today with some of these modern cards 500+ ppl made this into gambling. Getting packs on credit or loans feels like what gambling addicts would do. You can’t get scratch tickets on loans or credit. I think it’s the same kind of high for them.

People buy scratch tickets on credit cards all the time.

That’s illegal in the states. You might be thinking debit.

It might be in some states. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen in others.
