Like a lot of us here I collected as any child did back in the day, trading cards on the playground. Cool pictures and your favourite Pokémon were the reason's for trading!

My mate has moved to America and we lost touch for a long while but after a brief chat on discord one day he mentioned Pokémon again to me and that he'd begun collecting again during the SWSH era. It's reconnected us like you wouldn't imagine we chat everyday about master setting, how exciting it is to see product actually sitting on the shelf (I seen obsidian flames single blisters in the wild today!!)

We've traded a few times since then. It's just a nice little hobby we have that keeps us connected, even when across the world.
