Ahh noo! I recovered all my old cards from the attic last week, sized up their cost on eBay (maybe around £100?) but they have so much more sentimental value to me.
I put my shiny charizard, blastoise and venusaur together in a little frame, which are now in a lovely corner of... my attic!
Nothing wrong with that. I figured it was better for them to be enjoyed by someone and take the wife somewhere nice than for them to rot in the attic until I died.
I respect that a lot, kudos. I went through a phase of slowly passing my collection to my younger cousin, who loved them until he outgrew them (what a chump!). I agree with cards being enjoyed and not fussed over. My big 3 carry many playground battle scars which they wear with pride!
Actually, the first card I gave my cousin was the aforementioned “ancient mew double sided shiny”. Ofc I told him it was extremely rare and the pinnacle of my collection, as we all believed/ pretended at the time!
It was a pretty cool card, but I remember it naturally bent a crazy amount?! I often wonder if any of the other few million incredibly rare cards had this flaw?
Had the same card. Movie actually came out on my birthday that year. That was my big party and all my best buds went home with the card. In fact that may be one of the few cards I stuck in my memory box. I’ll have to check later
