As mentioned before, I'd shy away from the Championship decks IF you are to play in anything official. If it's just you and a couple of friends, get whatever cards you want. A lot of the decks use speed to their advantage now (something way different from back in the day). Trainers that allow...

Decks might be lame, but they are quick and effective...not to mention successful. Don't really know what timeframe you are talking but when 10 years ago the decks were Raindance (which should see a comeback) and Wigglytuff variants. I remember seeing some rogue Alakazam decks, but in all...

What's the best way to tell what is fake and what isn't? I remember that fakes happened a lot with the original base set. I don't want to spend some decent money on Ebay to build a deck and find out that all of the cards I got are fake.

It was a cash grab by Wizards. The reprinted sets were done because I think either we were about to get the original base/jungle rotated out. I'm not entirely sure on that one though.

Yeah, I've collected cards for a long time. But when the collection starts to take over entire rooms so much that one cannot walk in them, I consider that hoarding.

From what I saw, the Spoils was the worst TCG I've ever seen. I used to play MLB Showdown from 2000-2005. Bought some of the NFL (which sucks), and the NBA (which is awesome). Recently got into the Football Champions (soccer showdown basically). FC is probably the best of the bunch with...

What are you trying to achieve with the purchase of the box? If it's to get rare cards and re-sell, I don't know what to tell you. I'd go with HG/SS that's about to come out. Re-sale value of a brand new set is at it's peak...so any of the cards that are in high demand you can re-sell and...

If the Hoarders TV show goes international, I hope they do a piece on her.

RE: Best place to buy Booster boxes? Support yr local card shop.

In about 5-6 boxes I only saw one Shiny Litho and two Gyrados. However, there were tons of the tops and bottoms of Lugia/Ho-oh and Primes.

I was at Target today and didn't even think about looking for the binder. Can't wait to pick up the Raichu out of this set.

I liked the vending machines that used to have the mini baseball helmets and football helmets.

You'd be surprised. MLB Showdown was one of the best games to play and lasted from 2000-2005. While many players dropped the game due to it eventually being run into the ground on purpose, there were still plenty of die-hards. About 2 weeks before an expansion set in 2005, it was announced...

There should be more "pre-release" type fun tournaments throughout the year to co-exist with the POP Leagues. I used to play MLB Showdown (reason I quit Pokemon) and the booster drafts were some of the most fun I've had playing card games. It's such a different atmosphere playing with cards...

I had no idea that the Legend cards would be bigger than the rest. I'd guess that they will be found in packs together. Only reason is that if you opened a pack and just got the bottom/top of a Legend, wouldn't you be kinda pissed about that?

That's a neat card. I wouldn't email Beckett about any price value. The only *reasonable* way to get a price is to check Ebay and see what those Promo Mewtwo go for. While it might only be $1-$5, I'd probably tack on a few extra bucks for the misprint. Who knows, maybe if you get lucky and a...

Babasai, this is exactly what I thought at first too. Does Pokemon recycle a lot of the attacks/Pokepower's a lot? Just going through a lot of the card wording it seems that the attacks seem to be similar to older cards.

Good find. I think Typhlosion is the better out of the 3.

I traded nearly all my Pokemon cards for a Nintendo Gamecube along with about 8 games and a controller. This was in 2005. I had every set from Base to Team Rocket, and a few Gym 1 cards.

Right, and I get that. In my opinion, it's dirty. Agree to disagree I suppose.
