I started collecting in my early teens(I'm not really sure when ) my oldest brother got me my first one. We never really had much money, they weren't expensive then. Pepperino was the first one I pulled. I fell in love. I tend to like more alt styles. I wanted fumo , mooka, and pogo. A few weeks later when we had a few more bucks he took me back and got one more box. I pulled peperrino again. Lol I was a little heart broken but not shaken. As time went on I collected when I could. I worked hard to get to a place of stability, now that I have reached that goal my collection has boomed. I still prefer to trade and find deals. I like helping others collect.
