Well, back when Pokemon like exploded everywhere, everyone at my school was obsessed with the Trading Card game. Everybody got into arguments and quarrels over them. There was this one kid who had every single card except Ekans, and wanted mine, but I said no, so he got mad. You see where this is going....

Well anyway, today, ten years later, I still own every card I did back in Grade School. Why? Well, because in let's say, thirty years from now, they will be worth tons, I imagine. I have the old old ones, the originals. So here's my question, do you all still have them? What are your intentions? Are you going to sell them like me for profit?

Mine are in those card protecting sheets all kept together in a binder. They're all in pretty good condition, my 5 year old cleanliness obsession wouldn't let them get folded or dirty..

I still have my cards too! whee
I don't think that they're going to go up in price, well, maybe the older cards,
because their coming out with all these new ones like diamond and pearl & stuff..( Whats the difference?? )
& even if they did, I don't think i'd get rid of them.
Too many memories in those dinky pieces of cardboard. heart

Some are worth quite a loot, and I'm keepin' for sellin' in some years time.

But that depends on how popular Pokemon is by then.

I wouldn't invest in the modern cards now, I don't see them being valuable. They just don't... feel as good as the old ones. O_o; They're just not as special ;_;

When I was in grade school, the principal threatened If he saw anyone with pokemon cards, he'd take 'em and you'd have to stay after school. I've practially lost all of mine except for my eevee card-.-' But if I found any of my old ones, I'd keep them.
