I have a gigantic bundle of old TCG cards from my younger days. I was obsessed with collecting them, but had no idea how to actually battle other people, haha. XD I remember trying to hunt down my first 'EX' card for ages; it was probably the most important thing in my life at the time. When I finally acquired a Shiftry EX card, I was elated. Showed it off to just about everyone I knew that played Pokemon, and I believe I even kept it in my pocket for a while. Fortunately, I'm not as attached anymore, and only keep my collection for nostalgic purposes.
