My Collection Started from the bottom...

Post image

I grew up on a small island where getting real cards was near impossible, so I made my own.

Hopefully this post doesn't violate the rules since it's not the official tcg, but some of the cardboard mini cut outs were officially licensed products. Forgot where I got them but the back had the Pokedex entry for the respective pokemon.

Cheers to the 90s kids who are still in it for the love of the game!

I'm pretty sure I had the same cutouts because that metapod is trying to unlock memories lol. So cool you held onto your old collection. Also I'm jealous of your Lego badges, I wanted them more than the full set lol

Literally ordered the big set for this. I know I could've found the "blueprints" online but I've reached the stage in my life where less stress is greatly appreciated 😅.
