Pokemon TCG

Anybody here into collecting Pokemon cards?

I started back during the initial craze but stopped around 2001. Just recently, a video of somebody opening a box of the original Base Set popped up on my YouTube recommended and it's got me back in the game. I tried collecting XY Evolutions (a reprint of Base set), but the pulls are pretty bad and they made Raticate, Starmie, and Arcanine rares. I'm not crazy about Sun & Moon so I'm skipping those sets, but Shining Legends just released so I'm digging in deep.

So far I've bought a couple Elite Trainer Boxes (10 packs each) and the Mewtwo and Pikachu pin sets (3 packs each). The cool thing about this set is that it features Shiny versions of Mew, Arceus, Genesect, Volcanion, Jirachi, and Rayquaza. Along with being shiny, the Pokemon themselves are textured and holographic instead of the usual surrounding artwork.

I opened the first ETB and two pin sets together, here are my pics:

And here are my pulls from the 2nd ETB:

I'll post some close up photos in a bit!

I still have all my old cards in a binder, but I haven't collected them since 2009. I'd show off my collection, but that would take a long time since I have over 200 9x9 pages.

I was never big into card games (lacked the funds/friends) but I got a few from some of the pokemon games I bought though.

I've disappeared for a while, and it's because I've taken a deep dive into Pokemon. Here are some of my favorite pickups:

I forgot how colorful pokemon cards can be.
