Do I get a fantasy budget or is this where I crack a joke about Visa Debit?

But if funds are not unlimited but current levels?

My initial thought was Dark Charizard as it’s the chase card for many and I do look at that card a lot. But this one means more, the rumour going around that there was a secret rare and eventually seeing it even though it was a scrunched up copy (yeah most kids were over pokemon cards when Rocket set came out) swung it for me.

I´d probably pick up the unlimited version, in a 7.

GOTTA Mew will always be my personal favorite and still affordable raw overseas. Mew promo #8 was my favorite as a kid considering I didn’t have the holo version.

Without a doubt it would be the Grand Party, Trainer Certification Card.

My favourite card. :pikalove:

This one, singular card. In much worse condition if course, given today’s prices

Realistically I would be buying a couple of packs of Pitch Black and picking out some cool arts to put in a cheap binder.

While I don’t have any particular love for the Ekans line, holo Dark Arbok has had a grip on me, heart and soul, since I was a kid. And I love that it’s not even the shiny coloration of Arbok! This is just a brand new one that afaik was only ever used in this art.

This card hits me with so much nostalgia. I remember buying the game and being so excited to have this card. The Persian from Nintendo Power is a close second

Restart from zero and i would seek out the base zard as that was the card that started it all for me and many others
unfortunately i never pulled it as a child and nobody was willing to trade theirs. So as an adult, its a must have. If i was only allowed to have 1 card it would definitely be the base zard
