“ Random card had to eventually get to Pokemon I guess. I have never gotten any of these cards and have no intentions. I'll dabble with other TCG sets for the collecting only of them (Star Trek, Doctor Who, Hercules, Xena) not playing the games. Ones that catch my eye but this I refuse to ever get into. Mostly it is the proliferation of counterfeit cards in circulation. It is also due to the sheer number of them and their variations. Different editions usually have subtle variants to them in much the same way as parallels they create with sports sets. A few years ago I thought that Pokemon and its short distant cousin YuGiOh had fallen out of the hobby but they are still hanging on fairly strong. If one knew enough about them and made some strategic purchases they could make some good money off this stuff. ” -captkirk42

I STILL don't like Pokemon cards. I tried to steer my nephew towards NFL, MLB and NASCAR cards when he was very young. But once he got to elementary school, Pokemon and YuGiOh took over b/c that's what all his friends want to do/play/collect. I can't really say "collect" though b/c they play with them. Most of his Pokemon cards look to only be in slightly-better condition than the 1970-90's MLB cards that were stuck in the spokes of bicycles! My biggest issue with Pokemon itself was the severe shortage of Ultra-Pro pages that it caused in the late 1990's. That bugged me so bad that I'll never forget it.

Pistonfan for the win! ------------------------------- VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards. Cardboard History My COMC New Collection Website: Cardboard History Gallery (Still under construction) Tips on how to make your scans look like the card does in hand (No more washed out, fuzzy scans!):

I really wish COTD would pick out my Sports contributions, Star wars stuff, or even the non sports OTHER stuff, but no... it would continuously like to point out that I added THESE. ------------------------------- The difference between Hoarding and Collecting is Structure. ~Kris~

I have very fond memories of when my son was little (he's now 19) how we would go to various retailers so he could buy gobs of these Pokemon cards. No idea if any he had were worth anything and once he outgrew them he gave them all to a younger friend of the family. Makes me smile. Thanks for this!
