I worked with a lady 20 years ago… one day she came up to me and asked me, “My kids outgrew Pokémon. You like Pokémon, want to buy their stuff for cheap?” I immediately said “Yes absolutely”

She offered me four big (Pokémon themed) duffles/backpacks full of Pokémon figures, plushies, and other toys. She also had three card albums full of the whole base sets, tons of jungle/fossil/rocket cards, and a bunch of other cards up to 2003 or 2004. She asked for around 150USD, which I agreed to—I didn’t have any money at the time, but also who am I to pass up on giving Pokémon stuff a good home?

I have almost everything she gave me still! I should go through it all sometime…
