Trading card games playing/collecting

Post Reply New Topic

I've been collecting pokemon cards for over a decade now, quite an impressive collection (3 binders)
I also collect Yu-gi-oh and recently world of warcraft.

Anybody else here a TCG collector/duellist?

I have Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh cards from more than 10 years ago. I might sell them, but I didn't bring them with me to college...

Used to be...
First off it was Pokemon, then Yu-Gi-Oh! then Duel Masters...
That was it really...
I think I collected more Yu-Gi-Oh! cards than Pokemon... and to be fair... Duel Masters used to confuse me a bit

I collected some pokemon cards when I was younger, and I have been collecting yugioh cards for quite a while.

I have recently become very fond of the Gusto archetype of yugioh, although my strongest is probably my six samurai which for some reason I always manage to flood the field with Mizuho, Shinai and some others which I can deal a lot of damage quickly.

Used to collect Pokemon cards, but I cold never find anyone to play and trade with them as a kid and my mother never allowed me to go to Toys R Us with my brother where they have that pokemon card league.

My brother got into Yu-Gi-Oh and I also liked watching the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, but we both stopped liking Yu-Gi-Oh when it was all Yu-Gi-Oh GX and stuff.

I used to collect cards. Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Duel Masters, baseball, hockey...I had a lot of them. In terms of the ones based on anime, I'd collect them for a while, then get a video game version of it, with the odd booster pack thrown in there (and yes, there is an actual Pokemon TCG video game [LINK]). Usually I'd collect them, but then my passion for each would fade if:

* A new generation of cards/monsters came out that I wasn't necessarily well-acquainted with or fond of (Digimon)
* The game itself fizzled out in the general public, for whatever reason (Duel Masters)
* The mechanics of the original series or game were either slightly or completely overhauled in such a way that the original lost it's flare (Yu-Gi-Oh GX was okay, 5D's, on the other hand...)
* There were way too many sets of cards to outnumber the representation in the animes (All of them had to violate this to an extent, but Yu-Gi-Oh! was the worst culprit)

I had a issue of Becket Yu-Gi-Oh collector that featured the above mentioned japanese cards, those are the top japanese cards i've always had in mind. make sure your family doesn't give them away while you're in school (that's how i lost almost all my original pokemon cards).

When was a freshman in HS, by younger brother stole them from my room and sold it to some kid in exchange for pocket change for the new vending machines at my old grade school (it was a whole bucket worth of original pokemon cards). The Only ones that survived where the ones that weren't in the bucket and were misplaced in my room.

So that's why my pokemon card collection is mostly from early 2000's, 2006-present.
