Welcome @mogumist ! Card shows can be a lot of fun. Do you collect any specific cards or Pokemon? Or are you still working that out? It’s early days in your collecting journey which would be a really fun time. I hope you enjoy your time on the forum.

Thanks, I used to work at a video game shop in college so I started collecting when they first came out in the US. My few cards are at my mom’s now. My kids both collect though, and particularly like Sword and Shield.

Hello e4, I already made my first intro post somewhere else showing part of my collection (Tropical Collection (Hello e4)). I didn’t see this thread earlier.
My story is similar to many, I was 6 in 1999 and grew up with Pokemon. As far as Pokemon goes, I collect mostly things related to competitive play, but in general, I’ll take anything that’s old and has Pokemon on it. I don’t have any interest in anything modern (goes for all areas of collecting, not just Pokemon). This is mostly just because I yearn for the era where where ideas and products were organic and unoptimized. These days, it does feel like everything is analyzed/optimized to death and financially motivated right out the gate. Whether it was collecting cards on the playground, or a small group of people in a garage or dingy office creating something that changes the world, there are just some things that we can never have again. That is why I collect things that remind me of and pay homage to those days. The further away we get from that, the more important I think it is to preserve these relics.
Pokemon collection
- World championships promos
- Staples from old competitive decks (Haymaker, Rain Dance, etc)
- Base Set 1st Edition (working on a complete NM binder set)
- Super Trainer Showdown memorabilia
- Pokemon Trading Figure Game
- Vintage Pokemon binders/deck & card boxes
- Old Pokemon magazines/strategy guides/posters/playmats
Non-Pokemon collection
- Old computer/tech hardware e.g. 84 Macintosh, original iPhone (anything vintage Apple really), IBM 5150, Commodore 64, World of Warcraft server blade, etc
- Classic games e.g. Warcraft, Diablo, World of Warcraft (anything old Blizzard really), Super Smash Bros, Doom, etc

Hi everyone,
Been a lurker for a while and just decided to register to keep up with discussions on the modern art in the Pokemon cards! Currently I’m collecting Gengar and looking to start a coffee/cafe themed binder. Looking forward to the art discussions and meeting you all here.
