Hello everyone, i'm new to this forum so I would like to introduce myself first.
I was born in '88 so I consider myself blessed for having experienced the very beginning of Pokémon (anime, cards and games). At the age of 12-13, I had a nice collection of cards (mostly base set, some jungle and Fossil, never a full set though). I was never realy a collector, just a kid that bought booster packs now and then. At that age, interests came and went very quickly, and by the age of 14, the cards were mostly collecting dust in my room. By the age of 18, I had my first girlfriend , and out of insecurity, I threw away my collection (I thought she would find it childish). I didn't think about it until recently. I'm 34 right now and have 2 young children myself. I see that Pokémon is still very much alive and I cannot stop thinking about the cards I threw away 16 years ago... . I know, I should get over it :). Anyway. I was thinking about buying back the base set, just for nostalgic reasons. I'm not looking for 1st editions, just the cheapest base set. What would be the best way to do this? Card per card, of can I buy a full base set in 1 go? Could anyone Point me towards some thrustworthy sites? Any tips of pointers are welcome :).
Thanks in advance
