My mom just showed me this photo from 2003 and it brought back memories of ripping open ex Dragon packs like it was my job…
Anyone else have photos of themselves from childhood with Pokemon cards/products?

Nice pull!
I also opened a ton of EX Dragon as a kid. Probably the most nostalgic set for me. And it still holds up well today.

nice work!! what tournament was this? best I ever did was top8 at long beach regionals in seniors, haha
I came here to post the exact same thing, I had em too!
You guys are definitely making me feel old. In 1999 I was at the peak of my college fraternity years. And 2003 is the year I met my wife. The craze when I was growing up in the 80s was nintendo (the NES!). If I could find them, there would be plenty of pictures of me pointing to old video game scores and ending screens of games that I was so proud to have beaten. Being the first of my friends to beat Metroid comes to mind as a huge childhood accomplishment

I was a single child at the time, but my mom got rid of it when me and my friend jumped on the top and it came crashing down.
