Anyone collect Vintage Pokémon Cards?

[ArcticHeron]

I've been collecting the Aquapolis set for quite a while now as well putting together sets of specific Pokémon.

Does anyone else collect at all? Was quite surprised there's not a dedicated thread to this already, unless I've overlooked it?

well i have like the gen 1 stuff..
the starter set obviuolsy
overgrowth pack
blackout
brushfire
zap
power reserve
water blast

for some reason i have a few decks but dont remember if those are just boosterpack element desks or proper deck of cards...
it was 1999 after all...

the Tin was actually from my yugioh cards starter - the special edition dragon lord
pegasus des
joey desk
i'd forgotten about these.

been so long since i looked at these
it sort of went to the way side as i only had 1 person to play with, but i still have them.

edit i loooked at how much some of these were on ebay. and i saw packs of overgrowth going for over 200 and in some cases over 400!

I’ve got a few! Need to dig them out and see what I’ve got, I’ve got a few 1st edition cards as collected them from the beginning

That's awesome! Certain first editions (depending on the set they come from) can be very valuable! I'd be happy to take a look and do a valuation for you should you find them
