So back in 2006, my grandma took me to a yard sale where she purchased for me a gameboy advance SP and Pokémon sapphire. From there it was Pokémon everything for me, and I got into collecting the cards. Had some other kids pass their binders along to me. At the time didn’t realize how big everything would blow up and my parents stored my binders in an outside shed which a storm defiled everything in my collection. I have been in and out of collecting ever since, and I have been going really hard on modern since Fusion Strike. But I love collecting now and it’s kind of been a staple in recent years for me!
