No I didn’t get it as a kid
Basically the only area really to get it was the west cost of America I think, I read something about the distribution going from west to east and somewhere along that line comes shadowless after the 1st ed print finished.
Legendary collection Booster box.

This is all Charizard based: selling NM-Mint Charizard ex (FRLG) and a mint Charizard gold star on eBay years ago as I had lack of money. Fun fact, I’ve never owned a gold star card after that unfortunately… I think this was back in 2012.
Another regret was selling a secret rare Charizard from Plasma Storm which apparently never reached it’s destination and I refunded the buyer not knowing what happened for the card 
Plus I got a negative feedback from the buyer even though I refunded…

For me it’s the Team Rocket Returns Gold Stars, had all at 9s, and numbers were sequenced, I sold to a guy in europe, he got a very good deal,
They also form my youtube background, I want them back!

I’m awful at selling things, I just buy all the time. Anything I actually get around to selling is something that got upgraded or totally changed my mind about.

Honestly, this is a topic I day-dream about WAY TO MUCH… I originally got into buying/selling Pokemon Cards / Items on eBay back in 2009 - while I was a Sophomore in High School. At the time, being in High School, I did not have a lot of extra “disposable income” - it would all come from my eBay Business and Part-Time Job. While I was turning a good profit back then, there are many purchases I made where if I had held-off and kept everything, I would be killing it on eBay right now!!!
However, it is important to remember, at the time my priorities were different… I was not into the collecting aspect of Pokemon, more-so the buying to re-sell and profit!
Here are a few highlights:
1.) Loose Unl. Fossil Booster Packs - Bought 200 Packs @ $2.00 Ea.
2.) Loose WotC - Era Theme Decks - Bought 100 Decks @ $4.00 to $5.00 Ea.
3.) Sealed Japanese Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket, Gym 1, Gym 2 Booster Boxes - Bought for Around $60.00 Ea.
And my Personal Favorites…
1.) 1st Ed. Base Set Un-Common/Common Sets (NM/M) - Bought MULTIPLE from Ebirdman @ $60.00 to $75.00 Ea.
2.) PSA 10 Shadowless Charizard 4/102 - Bought for Around $300.00
3.) Sealed Shadowless Base Set Booster Box - Bought for Around $400.00
