Hey everyone! Im Regan or Ray, married with an 8 year old son. My collection is not as crazy as most on here but its mine and it is special. I collect for a lot of reasons but i love pokemon with every fiber of my being. Ive edited this a bunch but im having fun with it so its alright Been a fan since day 1, grew up through it all and only began collecting again as an adult after i got married. Most of the people that still follow my threads know a little about my past and why my cards and pokemon stuff are so precious to me. Long story short losing my brother and growing up in a bad environment has made me want to be a better person and make lasting memories.
What I collect
Number one goal atm is to finish my complete prerelease promo collection. Something about seeing them all lined up hits a sweet spot. I settled on this being kind of my niche because i love promos in general and going to any of those events were out of the question for me as a kid. I also collect english stamped cards pertaining to special places from my childhood or a memory. I am pretty proud of my current up to date complete sealed gamestop promo collection, mostly because its the first set ive researched and built on my own.
I will update the list below as the sets are finished.
I do occasionally grab randoms i fall in love with or want to use to fill in random pages i themed throughout my binders. Im just trying to pace myself and really enjoy the ride.
