I owned no.07 Charizard mint. :O And a no.04 Mewtwo (even thoguh extremely common card)
I collected from when the first deck was released, the Machop deck... which was released before the booster packs or other decks. Made for some boring gameplay, every had the same deck. Lol Ohhh 1997. I'd be cool to go back.
I gave an entire box of my all my cards, including foil binder to a kid that moved into my apartments when I was like 16. He was sitting on his stairs looking through his cards and the local kids came up to challenge him. They saw his basic deck, and few spar cards and literally shut him down and walked off. The kid was sitting there crying, he had just moved in, and couldn't even socialize with his Pokemon cards of all popular things. So, I walked over and dropped said box in front of him. His eye looked at the box, got wide and looked up at me "For me!?" Haha, that was worth it, even when I think back at all those cards I wish I still had.
Has anyone ever owned a full set of base foils from Red/Blue? IE: Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur??
