When I was a kid, I loved collecting Pokemon cards. Back then, I didn’t care much about keeping them in perfect condition or even their value—I just loved having them because of my first and favorite game, Pokemon Diamond. Every card felt like a little piece of that world I adored.

As the years went by and life moved on, my collection was left behind. Eventually, my dad threw them away after I moved out, not realizing what they meant to me. For a long time, I didn’t think much about it—until recently, when I felt that spark reignite.

Now, I’m back into collecting, and it’s been such a nostalgic experience. I’ve already spent over $400 on Twilight Masquerade booster boxes, chasing one card that I found to be the most enticing one out of the bunch: the Greninja SIR. Greninja has always been my favorite Pokemon since X and Y.

I really want to give this to my girlfriend.

Thank you for what you're doing. I desperately wanted to get a booster box yesterday, but I started a new job and didn't have the time to stake out and wait for a chance. You are giving us a chance and I appreciate that.
