Man I had around 100 cards in mint condition (all holo) gifted to me by my cousin which for years I thought fell behind the closet as they were hidden on top of it but when we were moving out of the apartment and finally moved the closet they weren't there.
I guess one of my "friends" stole them when we were chillin' at my place....
Lucky move on buying the collection before the craze began!
Did you get anything exciting?
Also, what's the condition of the cards?
Can’t trust a greedy friend. Thankfully I never betrayed a friend over some cards, only Wal-Mart — well before I was even 10 years old.
All the cards are in great condition. There are many great cards, but sadly not too many from the base set. I did continue to purchase new ones for awhile afterwards, nothing recently though. I stopped just before this new craze began. I have a shit load of cool cards and even many that are of fairly high value. I don’t have a list of them though. I need to go through them all and start figuring it out, but damn it’s so much work. Very meditative though, thanks nostalgia.
One thing I can say about Pokémon is that it’s actually fun to play the trading card game. It’s pretty simple, but I’ve always loved it.
