This is just like when my parents sold my beanie babies at a garage sale. Had my shit all figured out. The babies. Pokemon cards. I was gonna live large but look at me now
E) also, underrated subtle detail is the ex-husband representing himself vs the ex-wife who hired a lawyer for the “divvying up the stuffies” civil case
If I were that judge I would quit on the spot. It would send me into an existential crisis about what this society is and how many years of education and training were undertaken for this moment.
He drew controversy in recent years for his handling of the Brittney Bergeron case. He refused to grant Brittney’s request to terminate the parental rights of her mother, Tamara Schmidt.
Authorities said the girls were stabbed in January 2003 by two Utah teenagers in revenge for a bogus methamphetamine deal orchestrated by the Schmidts, who were girlfriend and boyfriend at the time.
Brittney, then 10, was paralyzed from the waist down, and her 3-year-old sister, Kristyanna Cowan, was killed.
Hardcastle’s decision was on appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court in February when Tamara Schmidt, still a prisoner, formally relinquished her parental rights and signed an open adoption agreement with the foster parents who have shared their home with Brittney for five years.
“This job is pretty hard on people, especially in Family Court,” Kathy Hardcastle said Wednesday.
She said Gerald Hardcastle builds model ships for relaxation, and she still has one on display in her office.
“This isn’t about toys. It’s about control,” Family Court Judge Gerald Hardcastle told the couple. “Because you folks can’t solve it, it takes the services of a District Court judge, a bailiff and a court reporter.”
There was snickering among the five or six people in the gallery.
“I don’t agree with the judge’s decision to do this. It’s ridiculous and embarrassing,” said Frances Mountain, moments before squatting on the courtroom floor alongside her ex-husband to choose first from a pile of dozens of stuffed toys.
The courtroom was silent for about three minutes while the two took turns picking babies.
Lol yea, the beanie baby craze is really funny i first learn about it from a hobbydrama post, there was some stories that they lead theft and even a murder
You see any of those videos where adult children were storming costcos to fight over a pallet of cards? Just omg living in this country is a daily humiliation ritual
For a while, big box stores like Target and Walmart stopped carrying trading cards of any kind because people were getting into physical altercations in the store and parking lot over Pokémon cards. People would go in and buy a whole display, then get jumped in the parking lot by people casing the place.
The shitty part is, these are scalpers doing the “buy for$1, sell for $2” way of making money. The cards aren’t being bought by children who enjoy Pokémon. They’re being bought by adults trying to make extra cash in a niche market with no regulations that’s a complete black hole and a total void.
Not those, but I’ve seen vids of people walking into target and just grabbing entire fresh displays and taking them directly the register. Pretty messed up.

Pokemon cards are still out there selling for obscene amounts of money. Beanie babies, not so much.

One of the worst #1 picks of all time. Like when the Clippers took Michael Olowokandi over Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki, and Paul Pierce in '98
No tag protectors on top-middle and bottom-right…what is this, amateur hour?
They did draft picks? For stuffed animals. Our ancestors hunted mammoths with spears FFS … we have disgraced them.
Hard agree. Should have been Nanook.
This is one of the funniest things this site has shown me
I been keeping this one in my back pocket for years :smuglord:
If I were that judge I would quit on the spot. It would send me into an existential crisis about what this society is and how many years of education and training were undertaken for this moment.
In contrast: I imagine the lawyer was having a great time billing for this.
Joke’s on him, he got paid in beanie babies

Oh yea i saw that in tiktok with the new pokemon cards, sometimes they dont even make a profit because they take too long to sell them.
