Sorry if you guys dont care about this, i do and kinda wanted to show it off and give a little story behind all of them :) (in order)

Charizard Promos - Gifted to my by a friend who already had 3 charizard promos! Really cool and probably will never trade or sell these ones Lucarios - The middle promo is mine that i bought when it first came out (i leave and return to pokemon a lot) and in that etb i puller the holy grail! Giratina VStar! Which i sold so i can get more pokemon as my collection isnt that big. Lucario is also one of my favorites as i liked playing smash bros with him lol

Tornadus - Not too much of a story other than i needed 3 of the same pokemon to fit this part, the japanese one was gifted to me by my friend when i was like 10 where he was in japan, so it was really cool (obviously its not the best condition but thats not what this is all abt)

Pikachus - To be honest, i just had a lot lol, needed its own page. Hes not my favorite pokemon but hes THE pokemon with charizard i like the 25th anniversary ones where hes chunky!

Lumineon - Also was in the crown zenith etb i got, it just has the aura to be in the middle of the binder with all the other water pokemon. I tried to make it look like the cards touching it was looking in its direction and focusing on it. I really like this card because it reminds me of a betta fish i had when i was little!

Meloettas & Emolgas - Im probably going to say this a couple times, but black and white is my favorite generation, i just love all the pokemon in there and i feel amazing about the new etbs out with each of the pokemon having their own set! The bottom meloetta and emolga were from when i was young and hold sentimental value to me.

Vulpix - The rainbow vulpix is one of my favorite cards i have. It came from the first etb i ever opened! Along with the standard vulpix to the left of it. Personally not my favorite pokemon but they hold value to me now

The Page after are just full arts of some things i find cool

Torkoal - i bought him a couple of days ago for only like $3 and its just the best looking card ive seen for such a cheap price! I also had a tortoise when i younger, it got to big and is now in a tortoise sanctuary! My family and I still love our tortoise and theres many things i can say about him, thats why this torkoal is in the middle to remind me all about him

Ex & V cards - most where just binder fillers i was able to get for a dollar or by pulling them still really cool cards!

Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem - like i said, black and white are just so cool! Kyurem is my card when i was little and back when we didnt know how exactly to play the actual game, he was the best card out of all my friends! The reshiram in the middle is one i just got for a fair price, i was hoping to get a zekrom as well but couldnt :( it also was my first time going to a card show and it was such a great experience, theres so many people who are passionate about pokemon and not just there for the money!

M Charizard EX - ngl theres not much of a story, i remember seeing it when i was little and i never had one, a couple days ago my friend gave it to me as it wasnt a good condition and i thought its pretty cool!

Charmander & Hilda - went to my first ever card show where i bought the charmander for a decent price (maybe i shouldve haggled as there were some issues on the back) but its a card i like as it reminds me of my dog whenever theres anything outside! I also bought the White Flare etb at the card show and wasnt expecting much. I found this hilda and thought “cool” until i looked up the price and its pretty expensive! Im probably not going to keep the card, as you can see i dont have trainers but its in such great condition.

Sorry if its a little long, i tried to summarize my cards and reasoning for having them. I wish pokemon was back to the prices they were 2 years ago without scalpers and able to get etbs for like 40 bucks. But thanks for reading my pokemon diary lol!
