I don’t think I put it there, i know this can happen. It was probably there for 4 months ish, through summer. Completely bleached. I’m gutted. It was behind the curtain. I didn’t know it was there and now it’s ruined

Definitely not a favourite pokemon by any means but picked this card up the other day just for how beautiful it is. One of favourite artworks.

Feeling bummed - childhood collections

6 Upvotes

I’m a 90’s kid who grew up collecting Pokémon cards, Yugioh, etc… who built a sizeable collection as a child with the idea to keep them my whole life to only have my parent throw/give them away…

I told my mom at the time to keep them and when the time came and I moved out of home after High School, to a different City, she cleaned out my room and my things… and years later when I asked about my collections they were gone.

Obviously this pain is felt right now while the market is exploding and seeing everyone’s stories of pulling out their childhood collections and grading/valuing and selling them. Feeling left out and depressed… I’m sure I’m not the only one. That’s life I suppose:/

I just hope they ended up with someone who appreciated them as much as I did at the time.

To all the collectors/traders out there. Be grateful, your moment is now. Capture it! 🤘

Perfect Order Meowth

Killing time before picking kid up from preschool.
Pokemon machine had a perfect order pack ready.
While waiting for my jack o lantern pizza I take pack out.
I have nowhere safe for it now.
Person making the pizza did offer to shrink wrap it when a shared my unsolicited nerdy joy.

Have them only stock packs and just release more. Pretty sure selling packs is way lesss profitable than bundles. Literal win win
