Hey there guys, Endblade here.
Today I'll be talking about a recent hobby that I picked up around the beginning of 2017. I've always been collecting cards of different types, from poker cards (you can check out my post on poker card collecting here), to random TCGs over the years.
I've always been interested in card games since I was in primary school (or elementary school), I can't really remember the first cards I bought, or what type of card it was. Duel Masters and Yu-Gi-Oh were what I played quite often back then. One thing I hated (and still hate), is the fact that foil cards usually warp, and quite badly. Where I'm from, the heat and humidity does get into the cards and even with protectors, the deck tends to warp, which irritates me.
That's not really related to the topic at hand today, but I figured some of you card collectors out there (whichever TCG you collect) will surely dislike warping.
I never really played the Pokemon TCG, I did buy some single packs once in a while when I felt like opening something different, but other than the occasional loose booster pack I never really got to collecting or playing it often.
However, when I was introduced to the hobby by a mutual friend, I took a look at the prices and the art of the Pokemon and boy, did it not disappoint. Opening my very first booster box made me nostalgic and I remembered when I was a kid, opening those packs and anticipating getting something good. Something about nostalgia that just does it for me.
Look out soon for Pokemon collecting related articles!
Until Next Time,
Endblade
