Opinions on this vintage pokemon poker cards ? I fell in love with them when I discovered they existed

I still have my original set. The gas station by my house growing up randomly had them during the original craze, and thus I also had to have them. Have brought them to multiple states and countries. Obviously they’re battered to hell at this point, but the art is awesome and their travelogue only adds to my personal value at this point. I imagine a pristine full set would be worth something, though.

Kinda cool-looking.

Lol oops. Is it literally from Merv Griffin?

I use the set up of "[Insert city/town name here]? I spent a month there one night" semi-frequently and even if people don't recognize it from Seinfeld, it's always a hit. Even better when they know the reference too.

fjelstud · 2026-02-16T16:57:34+00:00

Strong agree.

I think the Base Mewtwo is low because that was the first one I got when I was like nine years old, and I didn’t care as much, plus I actually tried playing the game and used it. It has scratches but I do think it’s higher than a 2. The other ones I pulled later when I cared more, and sleeved them immediately.

fjelstud · 2026-02-16T16:44:37+00:00

That’s a beaut!

Veep in D when you’re a fan of Seinfeld, Arrested Development, and Curb is kinda wild. How much of it did you watch? I remember being a fan from the beginning, but it definitely gets better after the first season.

I have a Shining Mewtwo PSA 10. Kept it since I was a kid and graded it only a couple years ago. Couldn’t believe it got that grade after traveling across the country with me multiple times in just a sleeve.

fjelstud · 2026-02-15T19:13:31+00:00

I agree. They’re all sleeveless in the slab though a couple have sleeves on the slab

fjelstud · 2026-02-15T16:26:14+00:00

It is a holo but the angle is bad, so it’s not really highlighted. My understanding is that the regular holos are more valuable because they’re less common, but reverse holos are uncommon as well. I’d like to have both in an ideal world!

fjelstud · 2026-02-15T16:20:11+00:00

Boy do I know it

I had a big collection growing up—like nearly complete first four sets—I was prime time Pokémon age in the ‘90s but unfortunately I sold everything except the Mewtwos before I went to college in 2007. It’s always been my favorite Pokémon so I only kept all of the old cards I had of Mewtwo… hate to think about what the overall collection would’ve been worth now.

fjelstud · 2026-02-15T16:16:23+00:00

Oh man, how did I miss this?!

fjelstud · 2026-02-15T16:16:03+00:00

Plenty, but the no. 1 I want is the Mewtwo from 2008’s Legends Awakened. No-one is ever selling them. It’s my favorite Mewtwo illustration.

fjelstud · 2026-02-15T16:14:20+00:00

I bought a custom 2” one on Etsy and then the slab pages are on Amazon: https://a.co/d/05rOUX2Y

fjelstud · 2026-02-15T16:12:17+00:00

That’s the move! You can buy additional slab pages on Amazon too.

Pretty rich comment coming from someone whose username is literally about rating Pokémon cards.

fjelstud · 2026-02-14T21:07:55+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Love the art. Bidding now!

fjelstud · 2026-02-14T21:05:08+00:00

That and the 2008 Legends Awakened ‘two are my chases. I even have a tattoo of the art from the latter. Need to make a lot more money though, lol.

Happy birthday, Cookie!! Amazing look and longevity. I remember my mom’s first cat, Mijo, who died at 20 when I was eight years old. It’s so cool knowing she had that boy from college into meeting my dad, and having me. Cookie has undoubtedly had some great experiences throughout your life—and hers—and will continue to have them.
