I'm a newbie PokeDad trying to follow all this to help keep my kids competitive. A few questions. 1) Aside from a bunch of the Trainers/Supporters/Energies, is the bottom line then anything earlier than D&P is being rotated and you should just dump those cards? 1B) If true on #1, what about...

I had thought I saw a list where there were select Pokemon okay from previous sets but I guess that was a list that was more than a year or two old. I found the official 2007-2008 document and it confirms what looks to me like they simplified things by making the cutoff EX Holon Phantoms and...

Those are trainer cards. What about Pokemon cards?

I see on some of the older sets that select cards are still playable. Of the ones the will be rotated out is there a list yet of which cards will still be playable or are all cards in the sets listed not playable? Where is it published? If some cards will still be playable and there is no list...

Much much thanks for the reply from someone, finally! I realize there is a lot of info out there and alot of this is just gaining experience. But it is nice to get some questions answer to get a basic heads up on certain aspects of the whole Pokemon TCG phenomenon. My next question is do...

My kids are collecting Pokemon cards. We are going to start participating in a league so they can actually play the game instead of just collect the cards. They of course are collecting all the ultra rare cards. I've read up on basic game play and deckbuilding, although deckbuilding strategy...

A couple newbie questions. I've seen several cards with wide discrepancies in prices. For example, Flygon ex 92/101Dragonite ex 91/101 maybe some others with /101. I've gathered there are two versions of some cards even though they have the same number. One version was released in a World...
