Hello guys! My name is Mikhail. Iāve been not so long in this hobby, almost year and a half. It all started just with Pokemon games and Game Boys, then Iāve decided to collect Pokemon cards. My collection is quite small, but I have some plans, hehe. Since I live in country where Pokemon isnāt so popular, I have to buy my stuff from China.
My favorite artists are Masakazu Fukuda and Ryo Ueda, I love ma boys Porygon, Vaporeon and Regice. Favorite generations are 1st-3rd and favorite TCG era is definitely ex. I collect cards in a 2x2 binder, singles are in sleeved toploaders.
Shout out to my friend @subcat who told me about this forum.

Welcome again @LiverpoolDave and also a warm welcome to @zyxxke . Glad to have you both here and hope you have a lovely time at the forum.
@zyxxke Ryo Ueda is such an underrated artist and I have not seen many claim him to be their favorite. Maybe because he does a lot of stadium and supporter cards. He has illustrated my favorite card in the hobby, the Mew Ex Play Promo, so I took have a soft spot for him.
Would love to see both of your collections sometime.
Thanks and Cheers!

Hi! Iām a young collector from Italy and a long time lurker. I learned a lot from E4 and I finally decided to join this awesome community. I really appreciate the slow pace of an āold schoolā forum/board,
Like many others, Iām into pokemon cards since I was six, but I quit when pokemon was too lame for growing kids. I started collecting again during the Pokemon Go crazyness, and never stopped. My favorite cards are from neo, ex and dp/platinum eras.
Since Iām a broke uni student, and because my parents never bought me a single booster pack back in the days, my collection is kinda small and unimpressive (for this site standard lol). But I enjoy buying what I can afford at this time, and finding amazing cards even if a little beaten up. Nice to meet you all!

Very lovely to have you on here @decoypalmette . Just the price or size alone does not make a collection impressive. It is what the collection means to you and your stories behind it. Looking forward to seeing your collection thread sometime. Welcome again and have an awesome time here.
Cheers!

Welcome @decoypalmette, nice to have you. Donāt worry about the gross value of your collection. We all have constraints on disposable income in our own ways. The key is to enjoy it together. Iām having fun putting together an artist binder on Aya Kusube, and Iām able to pickup NM commons for $1-10 each.
