Right so i wasnt actually planning on joining this Giveaway, but since i’m bored and waiting for my Dad’s Chemo let’s give it a try :grin:

i’m Robert, i’m 23.

i don’t really have a favorite card and there are so many PokĂ©mon i adore, i never really pick favorites, for me only variables! :grin:

but i’d have to choose Umbreon if i had to make a decision.

Karen’s Umbreon to be specific.

i’m a GBC Gold Silver Crystal lover and all the summers sat outside with a big group of friends link cable-ing it up is nostalgia and sense of community that’ll never come back :blush: hence why i joined Efour which is an amazing place with amazing people sharing amazing stories and a ton of fun to read :wink:

i always thought Johto and Kanto had the coolest Characters like Clair, Karen, Lance, Blaine.

to me overal it’ll always be the height and a warm place in my heart of PokĂ©mon and Umbreon seems like a tight CompadrĂ© to have taken along for that journey.

and just like Umbreon i am a night creature lol.

obviously here is a photo of the card :blush: and ehh a little bonus Umbreon baptized in the glorious epitome of shitty paint skillz :^)

**My favorite card:**Lugia, Neo Genesis.

Had to google the pic because I’m not home at the moment. I still remember being 11 yrs old and getting this card out of the 1st edition pack. Love the artwork, especially how the yellow, blue and red background reminds me of the three legendary birds. I always thought this was pretty cool because as a kid, it made me think as if Lugia had the power to attack as if he was all three of them/ or with them. Before I even knew what a trophy card was, this was my trophy card. This was the card I always pulled out the album hidden under my bed and said to my friends: “You’ve never seen this card before”! Lol!

Name The infamous Eric

Age 28

Favorite Card

Why?
It’s a classic. It was the most sought card in elementary school and it was the card that got me into Pokemon. This was my first Rare card in my first booster pack as well. Also my favorite pokemon. Is this detailed enough @charchu ?

Sure is!

The card speaks for itself really :heart_eyes:

Favorite Card(s):

Reason: As you can tell by my age, I’m one of the younger guys here. When I first started collecting as a kid the new sets were Legends Awakened and Stormfront. I was sort of the card guru at school because I was the only one who would look on the internet. I was the one would tell which cards were fake and which weren’t (whether they believed me or not, I told my friend John that the Lv.Xs had to be foil but he insisted his was real even though it wasn’t foil). I was not, however, smart enough to actually buy single cards online. I’m still kicking myself about it. Instead of getting packs all the time I could have gotten whatever cards I wanted back then. In 2008-9 I could have gotten Gold Stars and anything else for the same price as the blister packs I would buy at Walmart. As a result, these were the two cards I was relentlessly chasing down. Garchomp was and is my favorite Pokemon and I would constantly search for these cards equally. I finally convinced my friend Luke to trade me his Garchomp C, but I never got a hold of the one from Majestic Dawn until recently. I have them now, but these were the two main ones that drove me forward when I was young(er).

I was torn between any of my interesting Pokemon Sheets and my BGS 10 1st Ed. Base English Charizard. I decided on this sheet because it just wouldn’t die. TPC cut up a giant stack of these with a knife thinking they destroyed them all. WRONG. A couple escaped the slash-a-thon. This is one and its in amazingly perfect condition. Tough to find that in any sheet. The back is all snow white cause it never got printed with the normal Pokemon backs.
Anybody think I should cut it up to create ‘miscuts’? NOT;)

I just don’t understand it
how do so many things slip through the cracks? Have there really been so many employees at WotC/PTC that just steal stuff? I’m glad that these things have made it to the public (sort of :wink:) but just how??

You have to sleep in their dumpsters and wait for their morning dump lol.

TPC is MUCH more careful with their property than Wizards was. After they found out about this sheet their attorneys kept bugging me cause they wanted it returned. I played with them until they finally gave up hihi. I made sure they wasted a lot of time though lol.

Amazing Giveaway Charchu!

Name: Chris

Age: 29 going on 12 when seeing all these amazing pokemon cards

Choosing a favourite card is a really tough call honorable mention goes to a 1st edition prerelease aerodactyl my brother gave me as a kid, but I have opted for my Green Back Topsun Charizard:

www.flickr.com/photos/143163772@N04/28605599743/in/album-72157669790841654

Why? Well it’s my favourite pokemon from the first set of pokemon cards made, it feels like a piece of history. Over 20 years old now! I love the raw artwork and the little pokemon characters silhouettes around the charizard. Plus I graded it myself and got a Psa 10! That level of excitement is why I love collecting pokemon cards. :blush:

Favorite Card: Anything Ampharos but the top card is this guy

Ampharos gained a special place in my heart the first time I played silver as a kid. I remember catching a mareep cause it was cool looking and leveling it up until *KABLAAAAM!* it evolved into the majestic and beautiful ampharos! I instantly fell in love with this pokemons looks and it’s incredibly powerful thunderpunch! So when I opened up a pack one day and this guy was in there I freaked out!! The colors are so brilliant. The pink and silver go perfect with the yellow with black text of the card. I will have to go through my old bins of drawings from when I was 12 cause I have a really cool drawing I did based on this card as it was one of my prized possessions back in the day (still is :stuck_out_tongue:) So that is why I chose this card as my favorite card but it was a close race with the glorious fossil mew card! & thanks for the opportunity to enter into a cool giveaway like this and also to share about myself :grin:
