GF's "Small" Childhood Collection

Currently visiting my girlfriend’s family and she mentioned that she has a few old Pokémon cards that I can have. Turns out there are more than a few cards along with some quality cards that I was missing… No idea how she ended up with so many 1st edition and shadowless cards. They weren’t really a thing here.

Skipped over energies and still have to take duplicates out from behind some of the non-holos.

Sorry about the sideways pictures that were a result of inexperience uploading to imgur from a phone.

What a cool collection to stumble upon. That’s so awesome!

My first base zard and it’s a shadowless. :blush:

Wow! That’s amazing! You know you have found a keeper when she accidentally has a bunch of 1st edition Pokemon cards and will let you have them! Congrats on the cards and on your trip to see family!

Nothing small about that collection at all! Kicks the crap out of my childhood collection! :slightly_smiling_face:

That was the plan pre-cards. :wink:

Same.

I bet she’ll let them go at a decent price if you play the boyfriend card! J/k. Amazing find, congratulations! That Shadowless Charizard really makes it all the more impressive. The cards look very pristine as well. And damn, now my neck hurts!

I let her know that she had some valuable ones and she now figures she should have saved them for a Christmas present. Lol

Congratulations on the gift. Send those babies out to get graded!

Wow love these attic find stories. Really adds to the fun and nostalgia of it all! Storybook moment!

Super cool collection, very sentimental. Just watch out for the ring binders as the rings can degrade a card over time (not to take away from the awesomeness of this find).

The rings don’t actually degrade the card over time, they risk denting the card due to the way the binder sheets stack.

I’m always careful with rings and will be taking them out to put them in sleeves and portfolios when we get home. I probably won’t have the time and did not think I would need to bring stuff with me. lol

Very nice. I love the nostalgic feeling of being in another time.
I just recently found a few pages from a binder full of jungle cards with prices on them :rofl:

Super cool collection I really like how every photo is sideways POGCHAMP

The only thing my girlfriend gave me was a headache
