What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Magic the Gathering..

Few years ago we found few old decks in our summer camp shared game box.

Someone looked at them said something like I think we could sell them for few hundred bucks and then put the rubber band on and tossed them back.

I started playing MTG when ice age came out. Sold all my cards back in 2018 for $13k. Most of that was from having all the dual lands and fetch lands. Also had an original foil tarmagoyf

Who ever told you it would be inexpensive?? LOL

In defense of the ~8 year old me, who had no clue how to play the game and just liked looking at the fancy cards, no one told me anything :) Also, that was around the time Urza's Saga released so it really was wayyy less expensive at that time.

Man, if I knew then what I know now..

More specifically commander. I have more than 10 decks and I rather not talk how much they cost altogether.

After WotC sold their own official proxies in those anniversary packs, I gave up on official prints. Now every deck costs me $22 plus shipping.

Are you using MPC? We also started doing that, but all those decks are from many years of building.
