When finding your old collection it really signifies what the purpose of these TCG's are all about, especially for children. Playing with the cards, being able to go out and purchase the cards, not being worried about grading it or selling it for a quick buck. The behaviour of adults this year has been appalling when it comes to Pokemon TCG, and the amount of children who are unable to have this as part of their childhood due to the sheer greed of adults is saddening.

[@drewster6424]

I have had to result to buying of scalpers because the adults are ruining it for everyone

This is so nostalgic. It doesn't matter if the card are in bad condition, what's important is this prove that you enjoy your childhood with Pokémon card as much as you enjoy it until now

[@griggly_brush]

I've seen a lot of people saying how they wish they kept their childhood cards in better shape. I completely disagree ya'll. The beautiful thing about them is how much we loved, traded, and cherished those little pieces of cardboard. :)

[@PokeRev]

Great point

[@Insanely-idiotic]

Ya great point

[@VisualRedemption99]

To think me and my friends dug holes in a field and did treasure hunts with our best cards for keeps is insane now that I think about it. Man! 😂

That’s also why good condition cards are so rare.

[@TooManyOuchies]

The fact that you kept those games in seriously great condition as a KID is very impressive

That story about the circle of kids stealing out of his binder sounds downright traumatizing.

[@reapersassassinspaintball6392]

Bro! Trying to watch pokemon before school was my childhood in a nutshell. Had to leave at 7:20am so i always missed the end

[@B1ackf00t]

Sometimes I have wondered where my cards as a child could have gone. I have had both yugioh and pokemon. At one point back in 2000, had bought a base set holo charizard (unsure if shadowless) from another kid for $20. At the time the card was only valued at $50, so it seemed like a deal. However, it's not like as a kid I walked over to the trash, and just tossed them lol.

I definitely had some rare 1st edition holos.... and about a decade later, I remember going to a shop and selling 45 rare holo's for 45$..... 3 of them were charizards.... and all were in pristine condition! Had 4x as much cards in my binder.... I Beat myself up everyday!!!! that I gave the binder away , full of holo's as well and the ones I sold:,(

This was amazing to see. All of us kids who collected and actually PLAYED with our cards in the 90s and early 2000s cards are in similar condition.

16:00 Dude Rev you really hit me in the feels here man I can relate. I actually lived in Japan when Pokémon became a thing so I had everything from gen 1 and 2 that you could ever want. I was so proud of my card collection. One day, years later I moved to South Carolina and my “friends” came over and without me knowing stole everything they could from my binder. The starters, legendaries, everything worth a damn was pocketed and gone. It kills me to this day mainly because I know that they probably didn’t take care of them and are long gone/ destroyed. I love your channel because it’s a great, entertaining nostalgia trip handled by a man who is clearly passionate about all of this. I wish you much luck with the stellar card pulls, bro

[@zandalftheblue2837]

My Bad Pokémon Memory is the Moment i found latios in Pokémon emerald, i was like 7 years Old and took my gameboy with the Game to school. After a Break my Gameboy was still there, but my Pokémon Game and my latios were gone. Big sad. Never saw it again. But a few years Later i got latios ex delta species holo from a Dragon frontiers pack, my last Pokémon cards i got till today. (~13 years ago) And its my most valuable card, maybe aside from my First Edition dark charizard (non holo)

[@Guvnor2410]

Never happened to me with Pokemon cards fortunately but it did happen with toys that were in the UK called Crazy Bones. I got the rarest one and was the only kid in school with it, whilst I left them with a friend of mine, this other kid that was always getting into trouble snatched the bag of my friend. I managed to get the bag back but didn't realise until later that the rare one was gone, even had my dad come into school but unfortunately it was days later and the pr*ck kid had taken it home. It's not worth much now but the only reason she stole it was solely to cause issues for others as she didn't play them, it's sad how poor a person some kids are.

I had them until I was 14 years old with the same old care that I always gave them. Then my parents thinking that I was way too old for “kids cards”. So they ended up selling them at a garage sale we were having, and took my cards without my knowledge and sold them for 10 dollars….. Shadowless Charizard 1st edition Charizard 1st edition Blastoise Shadowless Venusaur 1st edition Dragonite 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragon DDS-001 This was just a tiny handful of the copious amounts of amazing cards I had. I know for a fact that EVERYTHING I had was AT LEAST PSA 9. I was super anal about my cards. Thanks mom and dad.
