Florida Man and His Oscar Worthy Performance at Drug Bust Takes Center Stage
According to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, Christopher Heath is currently enjoying some quality time behind bars. You might be wondering, “Why is he in trouble?” Big surprise drug bust. Well, it turns out that he had a stash of fentanyl and marijuana hidden away like they were secret ingredients for a choose your own adventure of bad life choices.
Now, not only did Chris have his hands full with his contraband, but he also apparently had a problem following directions. Deputies slapped him with charges of possession of fentanyl (trafficking), possession of hashish, possession of paraphernalia, and even a sprinkle of “failure to obey law enforcement.” It’s like he’s collecting charges just to see how diverse he can make his criminal résumé.
So, imagine Chris being pulled over on a lovely Sunday in Bunnell, Florida. According to Fox 35, as the deputies approached, they were hit with a pungent aroma that I can only describe as “Eau de Munchies.” Of course, this prompted a search, and lo and behold, they found a prescription bottle filled with a golden-brown oil that was apparently the secret sauce to Chris’s own personal dope menu.
Drug Bust:
Now, the drug bust story takes an unexpected twist – Chris suddenly started claiming he was having a heart attack. Oh, the drama! Soon, Medical units rushed to the scene, ready to play doctor, but Chris’s actions were so wild that even they couldn’t figure out what was going on. He got a ticket to the local hospital, got the all-clear, and then it was off to the Sheriff Petty Hall Inmate Detention Facility. I can only imagine his internal monologue: “Ah, the hospital, my one chance to escape! Wait, no, they’re just making sure I’m not actually dying. Damn it.”
Chris has a rap sheet that could rival a CVS receipt. Battery? Check. Domestic violence battery? Double check. Grand theft, burglary, and child abuse. In addition, even the ever-elusive “resisting an officer with violence”? Yep, he’s collected them all, Pokemon cards. Gotta catch ’em all, I guess.
Finally, Sheriff Rick Staly had some words for Chris, and they weren’t exactly the kindest. He called our protagonist a “serial criminal” and implied that Chris should consider turning his life around. Maybe before he becomes a permanent resident of the slammer. Great job Chris Heath, a Florida man who’s turning “life on the edge” into a full-blown performance art piece.
These Old Pokémon Cards Are Worth More Than 10K Each
I recently found myself scouring GameStop, Best Buy and Target in Fort Myers, looking for Pokémon cards. They were for a birthday present. The birthday boy is an avid collector. I was determined to find the right ones. I am not well versed on trading cards so I was shocked to learn that these old Pokémon cards are worth more than 10K each.
The numbers were put together by Hearts Land, on online card game site. They analyzed pricing data from Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), then ranked the most valuable Pokémon cards. A spokesman for Hearts Land says, “Even during their release more than 20 years ago, first edition cards offered varying levels of rarity, with holographic or ‘shiny’ cards being the most highly prized, due to their limited appearance in Pokémon packs.”

It’s the holographic or holos that are on this list. The prices quoted are for first edition cards that are in mint condition. Here are a few tips to determine if the old cards in your collection are first edition.
First, look to see if there is a black ‘Edition 1’ logo printed on the card. For most character cards, this will be printed halfway up the left side of the card. Next, for trainer cards, look for the logo at the bottom left corner. Also, the energy cards symbol can be found in the top right corner. Finally, for character cards there should be no shadowing around the border of the image displaying the Pokémon.
There are cards that wont quite bring in 10k or higher. However, they are still worth a pretty penny.
Look for these old holo Pokémon cards too.
- Ninetailes is worth $9,700 and a non-mint 7 holographic Ninetales will sell for around $400.
- Alakazam is worth $8,200 and a near mint copy is likely to retail for around $400.
- Hitmonchan is worth $7,800, however one recently sold for $10,200.
Here is what to look for. These old Pokémon cards are worth more than 10K each.
