First Card?

I'm pretty sure my first card was the Base Set Charmeleon that came in Nintendo Power...I don't think I have it anymore, though.
 
My first card ever was a Zigzagoon, although I don't remember what set. I was 5 or 6 and living with my grandparents, right after my parents died. The son of my league-leader-to-be gave me a small stack of cards. I convinced my grandma to take me to the local Alco to buy me some cards. I got the starter deck from the base set, and used my small earnings throughout the years to slowly collect more and more. (I really didn't have anything to spend it on, so I'd save for a long time then spend most of it at once.) I never even knew there was an actual game with them, but I'd try to make it a game with my sisters, who quit early in the EX series. We'd try to figure out rules of our own and such but our games nevver really worked. We thought we had it figured out once, but we were using the attack costs minus the retreat costs to see if something was KO'd. We had the prize system down fine, where a KO=a prize. They quit once they figured out I just made up the rules and tried to make it fair. Once I finally could read the instructions and found out how to really play, though, they wouldn't play with me! Oh, the fun times... the fun times of childhood....
 
Base set Charizard. I sold it last year on ebay for $261 [wish I didn't, but had to for rent :( ]. I'm gonna miss you <3

[Mine was mint, not scratched, and stupid people bid on it :/]
 
I feel so late posting now, I guess it would not hurt to anyway. Well, I started playing right as DP came out my first card was a rhyperior. I thouhgt it was so powerful. Ahhhh I remember the days when every pack you opened seemed to have a treasure trove of new cards. Now it's like no Luxray LV.X, dang it! (throw rest of cards out).

Wow. That is so true.
 
Mine was a Jungle set Eevee. It was sitting face down in a sleeve at a shopping centre in Geelong. This was back in the days when sets would be released in Australia around 2 months after the US. I took it to a mate's house and said he and his brother could have it, but they'd hear nothing of it and gave me maybe 30 additional cards to get me started (mostly Metapods, if I recall correctly). As they say, the rest is history!
 
my first card's were the hitmonchan deck from the base set when i was 8.

i collected them till the gym heroes set. when they went completely out of fashion in britain (after they got banned from schools)

then february this year me and 4 mates really got itno collecting them again. spent like £1,500 on cards this year.

me and my mates battle alot. but we have no idea how to get into tournaments so we cant. seems like a waste to me. but hey were stupid
 
when i didnt play pokemon my sister took me to the 10th anniversary of pokemon at the convention in san jose, ca they were handing out free boosters and i pulled out a entei star and other stuff. but i never got luck like that again.
 
Base Set Ninetales. <3

God, I loved that thing so much when I was a kid.
 
I don't remember my first card but in Turkey, Pokemon faded before Nintendo took over. but the oldest I remember was a Dragonair Rare. I fell in love to that card on the spot. Shame it was 10+ years ago and I don't have my cards of then now. But I'd like so much to get my hands on a Base Set Dragonair.. It is in my wants right now!
