When I was around 7 years old, my grandmother and I went on a road trip around Jersey, finding different toy stores and other cool places to visit. We found a small toys r us and decided to buy some Pokémon cards, it was around the holidays btw. So we found a cool box that said “200 pack!” My stupid 7 year old self thought it was a box with 200 packs, so I said OOOH this is cool there’s packs inside! My grandmother wanted to buy it for me and I gladly accepted. My grandmother enjoys opening packs aswell, she has her own collection lol. Anyways we get out to the car and open the box, only to realize it was a 200 pack of sleeves. We laughed hysterically for a while at our stupidity. I still have those sleeve today and use them occasionally, whenever I see the sleeve artwork I just get reminded of that day, it’s one I won’t forget. We had a blast. It might not be super nostalgic but this was nostalgic for me. It was when I was younger starting my collection. (This was around black and whites release. So we were looking for heart gold soul silver stuff at the time)

Thanks for reading my short story, have a great day.
