@st0rm___breaker Congrats! My final jungle card was a nidoqueen because I accidentally ordered a Kangaskhan. I didn’t notice until I excitedly opened the binder to fill it and I already had one (two) lol
@MK5Cards i have a few dozen ETBs full of cards. Sometimes i buy bulk if i see a few cards i need in it. I take one out and sort through them and shore up my collections.
i remember getting a Missingno and it evolved into a charizard. I got it to level 199 with rare candies. Then i told a kid at school i could beat his pokemon with 2 pokemon. I sent out a level 1 pidgey, and then my Charizard. I beat him and everyone on the playground wanted to know how i got a pokemon past level 100 :D
@StonkHands i agree. These are meh to me too. They might hold value in that they are rare only. But im not showing them off based on art thats for sure
@PikaParas I almost always try to start the games with all 3 starters as soon as possible. I pretend my journey does not start until that moment... with that said Charmander :)
I remember also begging for Pokemon TCG packs from Base Set to Gym Series. After which i think i the one store near me stopped stocking cards. Once Gold/Silver/Crystal era was over i mostly dropped it until Black White games came out. Now im back and collecting every english card :)
@xitwouldz@CardPurchaser sleve & top load anything shiny. PSA has the lowest tiers disabled at the moment, so depending on the card the best option might be to wait and categorize them into minty cards for grading/holding
@iamtheCeramist im in the same boat. Found my old collection and decided to complete a couple sets. That has evolved into collecting and trading for the past 6 years
