>>54952679Makes sense, so many people (myself included) stopped at that time for those reasons. LC set had the weird reverse holos that looked like vending machine stickers, and e-series cards were completely crazy with their design. I think I opened one pack of expedition and that's it.
>>54952692Also understandable. I remember that most of the kids my age didn't care or pay much attention to the trainers/gym leaders. We didn't like how the pokemon was someone else's instead of ours. I still collected those, though.
>>54952825I collected up until eseries, and I have a decent spread of cards in excellent condition since I started sleeving cards around Base 2 (RIP the earlier sets).
Pic related is from my childhood binder and the only two eseries holos that I pulled as a child (I'm guessing it was from the only pack I opened). I have since moved the cards out of there and into better storage.
Is he giving you some commission, lol?
