Hi turbotimes,
I hope that this group grows as well. It is nice to find a place of friendly people that have a fun hobby in common. I'm feeling pretty discouraged about The Pokémon Card collecting today. I got into this because I was buying cards for my grandchildren and liked the game/cards enough to try getting a few for myself, wanted to play the game with the kids and overall just found The Pokémon world fun last fall. But I confess that the scalpers have really ruined it for me so far this year. I love opening the cards to see what is inside and trading with the grandchildren. But I can barely afford the MSRP, let alone pay scalper prices. So, unless things change and the cards become more available, I may not last much longer.
