Collector. Buyer. Currently Insolvent.
Poke Broke
The binder is full. The wallet has entered witness protection.
What Remains
Ticker
$PBROKE, because solvency had other plans.
Binder Weight
Heavy enough to qualify as weekday strength training.
Wallet Contents
One dust puff, no coins, no witnesses.
Cap Condition
Sun-faded, sweat-tested, still technically a roof.
Jacket Repairs
Seven visible patches; the eighth is emotional.
Card Policy
Nothing leaves without an unreasonable trade and a long pause.
Dear Future Funds
He bought the binder before lunch and filled it before rent. Every sleeve holds a creature, a memory, or a trade he insists will make sense later. The cap has survived three conventions. The jacket has survived the walk home from them. When the wallet turns upside down, nothing negotiable appears. He checks twice anyway, then keeps browsing with professional restraint.
From The Last Shop
The clerk remembers him by the sound of binder rings. He priced one booster, opened the wallet, and released the usual dust. The binder gained nothing; the walk home gained character.
Two Reliable Modes
Trade Expert
Can identify every card except the one worth selling.
Cash Amateur
Carries exact change only when the total changes.
Keep the cards. Respect the dust.
