I started buying packs in first year of university back in 2013, got bored of the TCG and swapped to video games. My friends and I would breed pokemon and battle each other and occasionally I’d play on pokemon showdown.
In 2014 I started following TheJWittz on YouTube who made awesome pokemon content. Some videos on pokemon cards as well.
One of the summers between university I went home and searched for my old cards I had from growing up. That led to me picking up collections around my city and eventually stumbling upon smpratte on YouTube around 2016.
In fact the first thing I ever bought on eBay was a Please Trade from Scott in 2017.
I lurked for a little while on E4 and then joined in Feb 2017!
My first pfp here was a Hooh I edited to be flying over the river that goes through my city it is very cringe. I am happy I changed to this one
