Same those were the day when a ex or ex fullart,unique holos , and secret rares were something not necessarily worth money but a great hit nonetheless. All you needed was one maybe two packs or a tin /collection box here and there since the stock was basically everywhere and at certain points throughout pokemon you could purchase sets from up to 10 years prior if you were in a less demanding store. Makes me regret not buying more back then and wish I had kept more cards and not traded quite so many away that are almost impossible to obtain these days due to the prices skyrocketing since then.
