>>45376417>>45376582Hey man, i was in a similar situation. Altough i didn't have as many cards as you and never used albums or sleeves, i was in love with pokemon. Also around the age of 14 i wanted to "grow up" so i gave my cards away to a somewhat stranger. Even though i still played pokemon on ds lite now and then. Until a few years ago i didn't care and tried to fit in. I can make friends with people but never truly fit in. At one point i just stopped caring and since then i've never been more happy. I bought pic related recently time ago because it's one of the cards i vividly remember. When i was kid i also had a reverse crystal charizard, which i will definitely buy when chainlink hits 100$. The sad part is i can look at these cards all i want and buy more and more but it will never bring my old cards come back and i have to live with this painful truth
