You have survived a nuclear war and are living in post apocalyptic world where your Pokemon cards no longer have any monetary or trade value. You are leaving your home behind and only have space to carry one Pokemon card with you. What would you take and why?
(This is just a idea to share a favourite card from everyone’s collection without value swaying their decision)
Mine would be:
A couple of reasons, my brother gave this card to me when I was a kid. I didnt know anyone else with this prerelease 1st edition card at the time so thought this was super rare and I loved the badass look of Aerodactyl.
Also maybe ill meet a Aerodactyl in the post apocalyptic world and could make friends with it if I have this card.
Reverse holo expedition feraligator (the one where he looks badass). I’d choose the same one I peeled the holo off and aligned it back with a glue stick as a kid.
Either of these four, my favorite artwork of all Pokémon TCG cards:
Probably the 1st edition PSA-10. PSA-protection is of course better in a post-apocalyptic world, and I don’t really like the holo circle right at the mouth of Moltres on the UED one.
My Venubae. Bulbasaur was my starter when I first played Red, and so I really wanted this card but never got it from a pack. There was one kid at my school who had Venusaur, and I wasn’t on very good terms with him. I can’t remember what I traded but I think it involved money as well, maybe £5 or £10, bearing in mind this was when Freddo’s and Taz’s were 10p.
I was so caught up in the trade that I didn’t notice it was Base Set 2 or that he had put his initials on the back. So if you’re reading this, Thomas Griffiths, I want you to know that I’ve never forgiven you.
Sharpen it into a point = knife
tie that knife to a stick = spear
melt it down and use the little pieces of gold to barter with
use the melted down gold to repair electronic
can’t get damaged by water
