How do you treat 'em?
 
What the title asks. How do you treat your cards? Mostly..I take care of them, I mean, they're all scrambled in a big bag, but...

My sister gave my mankey to the neighbor, and he wrote his name on it in red already....:(

All of his are in red....AGH! I'll trade one of my cards for my mankey...but..it has red on it....:(

Anyway, discuss...

I take care of them like an OCD-ridden maniac. Which I am. . XD

All of my cards except for Articuno (which I stole from my friend and they ruined it, not me. XD) are in mint condition. But I do have another Articuno that I got and that's in mint condition. All of them.

IauraLucario July 2nd, 2009 8:44 PM

I take really good care of them =] i put them in 2 card protectors and keep them in my collector book, never wrote on them. never scathed them, never let anyone touch them.. XD

King! July 6th, 2009 4:57 AM

xD You guys care. A lot. I got the card back. I traded it for my Pikachu. IT's kind of weird, tradding your own card to get your own card. Meh.

SylentEcho July 6th, 2009 6:24 AM

I stopped collecting in 2003. All my cards are intact since then. They're all in card display albums.

Although I lost interest in Pokemon for a good 6 years, I haven't lost a single card in all this time.

!MajesticSmeargle! July 8th, 2009 10:24 AM

I usually leave mine a binder.
When I trade people I sometimes give them a sleeve with it if it's a lv.X.

icycatelf July 8th, 2009 1:16 PM

I keep my cards in protector sheets in binders. The cards in my decks all have sleeves. I have a seperate book for my favorite rare holos and I keep my favorite VERY rare cards (mostly Japanese promos) in sleeves + toploaders. My extra cards are in boxes.

Bagel July 8th, 2009 1:29 PM

LOL, that's how I am with my cards.
I don't see how people can play without sleeves, that's horrible XD
I have never played without sleeves.

Silhouette July 8th, 2009 6:41 PM

I wish I had sleeves, but other than my decks, I keep my cards in a huge binder. They're all in great shape.

Giraffe July 10th, 2009 3:43 AM

:O I'm very, very protective with my cards! ^_^

My little sister, however, is not - She got a Palkia G Lv. X in a booster the other day, so I bought her her own binder to keep it safe in - all her other cards are in there... but not her Palkia - I think its lost somewhere! :'(

bat003 July 22nd, 2009 7:02 PM

i keep all my cards in a ten in order from type and and pokemon dam things full i cant wait to get more cards my deack is a god to fools who no one can beat hehehehehe.

Mudkipable July 24th, 2009 9:24 AM

I'm going to buy sleeves and a binder for card storing :)

ShinjisLover July 24th, 2009 9:43 AM

Speaking of binders, I probably need a new one. I can't fit anymore in the one I have currently. XD

Got a spare?

Pokemoncardmaker July 24th, 2009 11:35 AM

Most of my special ones are in a little holder.

Did you buy a binder where you can fit more sheets in? (aka you can buy new sheets when your current are full)

Or is it just that crammed with cards :P

Late July 26th, 2009 8:32 AM

I'm trying to treat them well, but I like also playing with them, so if I haven't played for a while they are in album. If I use them to play I make lot decks so I can choose which one I use and my big brother and little sister plays too. But sometimes (usually) they are forgotten to Kitchen's table as we play there... Then my parents have to move them to somewhere else because they need room for food or something else and they are in puzzleballbox where I keep my damage counters and coins. Usually cards are in their own decks but sometimes those are all mixed up... So, I treat them pretty well (, but not SO well..).

ShinjisLover July 26th, 2009 8:56 AM

It's just that crammed with cards. XD

!MajesticSmeargle! July 26th, 2009 9:29 AM

Mine are just in my binder getting dusty, since I'm tired of playing cause I'm moving up in age group.
I haven't taken the Japanese ones out since.....last year XD
And the English ones since like Jan or Feb. XD

I keep all of mine as neat, tidy, and unsmudged as possible, sans the Light Arcanine I sought after, even though my friend left it in his pants pocket and it went through the washer. I wanted that pretty badly. And the cards my sister "gave" me (kinda took them because I don't trust her with cards. She's as bad as Patrick with the #54 Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy card) aren't great, but they can't recieve further harm now that they're with me.

As for my 11 decks (and the rare cards that belong in the decks) I can't stand when my brother smacks them down when we're playing. I always yell at him for that, and for having sweaty hands when he plays. He's always going to lose; no use in getting sweaty over something you already know.

!MajesticSmeargle! July 26th, 2009 10:07 AM

^Yeah, I don't like it when people slam their cards down.
It's just horrible.
Especially when they don't have a sleeve on them and they are like really rare like lv.X's.

Casey Crush July 31st, 2009 1:26 AM

Im also super protective of my Pokemon. Both my girlfriend and I keep them in binders.

Seperate binders for rares. Ill only trade with those who also take care of their cards too. I spend alot of money on Pokemon so I take care of them. We also use messenger bags to transport them and of course always card sleeves and deck boxes. Playing and trading on clean surfaces is a must as well.

Guess we're all freaks on here.

branchi August 9th, 2009 11:59 AM

i take very good care of mine.my fav card is my original charizard.http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4273&pictureid=30199

Amp August 12th, 2009 1:26 PM

I'm not OCD about my cards, but I try to keep them in good shape. Everything that isn't in a deck is in a binder, and i sleeve any decks I make. But I collect to play the game, not for rarity/value, so I don't mind people touching my cards or taking them out of the binders. All I ask is they they're careful not to bend them of scratch them and put them back when they're done looking.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 19th, 2009 10:21 AM

I stopped collecting them in 2005, but I have them hung all over my wall. I never kept them in a tin, just only on my wall

YAY 8888 posts >=P

Hotaru August 19th, 2009 6:29 PM

All my cards are in plastic sleeves in a binder, arranged according to type.

...That sounds more OCD than I intended. >__> I only collected around 1999, though, so I don't have a huge amount.

Captain Hobo. September 6th, 2009 6:59 AM

Yeah i guess i take good care of my cards.

BJ088 September 6th, 2009 8:29 PM

I definately need to buy a binder or something that protects all the cards. They are all sitting in their packs still lol
