Hi guys, Cujucuyo here.
I currently started collecting not so long ago, probably 1-2 months or so back due to Nostalgia. I have gotten started by acquiring some older Japanese sets and rare promo cards I saw back in the late 90's as a kid on the now defunct site TNC-Universe (some might remember it) and drooled over them but could not buy them as I was not in the US nor did I have a Credit card as a kid, lol, I basically spent hours looking at the different Japanese Promos. I have a few neat things coming my way including the VHS Starter Set from 1999 (Blue/Green Starter Decks), a sealed CD with the Pikachu Records Promos, JR Promos from Japan (including 2 JR Surfing PIkachus), Ancient, Lilipad and Shiny Mews, Daisuki Club Promos, lots of Coro-Coro Promos and ANA Promos, complete Masaki set including the rare VS3 pass card, etc. This is extremely addicting.
