OK y'all. This one hurts my heart.
One of the best guys in the hobby, my LCS owner Mike, had his shop broken into a few nights ago. The thieves made off with some serious stuff, and he still doesn't even know the full extent of it because he's still picking up the pieces.
If you see someone selling, flashing, or bragging about weirdly high-end stuff that feels out of character, please pay attention. Not just anyone can show up with things like a $24k box of Transcendent, rare $7500 Mahomes autos, etc, without raising some eyebrows.
This stuff represents decades of blood, sweat, and tears from one of the most upstanding families you could ever hope to meet, along with some pretty incredible team members who pour themselves into that shop every day. It makes me sick to see something like this happen to anyone, especially people like them.
I have full faith that the hobby watchdogs, dealers, collectors, and card show crews won't let this stuff quietly disappear. I don't think these criminals understand what kind of reach we have. As a collective, I assure you, we can figure this out. They don't get to just ride off into the sunset. They did this to one of us...so they did this to all of us.
Here are a couple links showing a small number of the stolen items, but there was a lot more. Please keep an eye out for anything strange. You'll know it when you see it.
And if you do see something, please say something. Thank you all.

I'm a firm believer that everything always works out as long as you stay in motion. You don't even have to know what you're doing. You often won't. Just avoid spending the majority of your time in your head
Go out and talk to people. Tinker with shiny objects that stoke your curiosity. Follow excitement without judgement. Collect a story to tell. Don't label and categorize activities or wonder if you're being productive or not. Simply do things because you can and be engaged with whatever you're doing
If you can end each day having gained a bit more interestingness, absorbed a bit more inspiration, or experienced a bit more life, all is well. Embodying this feeling is all that's required for you to rest easy knowing you got ahead, because forward progress is measured by the energy you radiate rather than the outcomes you see
Now it's merely a simple matter of continuing to get ahead. Light on your feet, surrendering to the flow of reality. The path will appear in front of you. Lucky breaks, unpredictable blessings, lightbulb moments abound. Not a matter of if, but when. Trust yourself. Enjoy the journey. God will never lead you astray
No IRS supervision, almost $1b in government contracts...
Deals for all major private companies, most of them close to the white house or used by them.
Unreal.
If you don't have a goal so meaningful it makes other people's opinions irrelevant, you will lose control of your life. You will adopt the goals assigned to you by your parents, peers, or society.
I’m convinced that everyone should take a big swing at some point in their life and experience what it’s like to truly go all in on a meaningful pursuit otherwise they grow bitter with age.
