Aloha. I thought I would skip the Introduce myself section. So here's my deal. I'm 22 and I have a very nice collection of pokemon cards directly from japan. My parents were in the military (retired now) and when I was..10? we moved to Misawa Air force base for 3 years. This was 1997-2000. I started collecting them right when they came out. I would go off-base to the japanese malls and buy booster packs, because thats all I could afford as a wee lad. Obviously, I didnt know what they did! Haha that was the best part, I didnt know to play with them, because I couldnt read japanese, and for the longest time didnt have a traslation book of the moves. I was very gentle with my cards and kept them in a book, and the holos in sleeves. I put my cards in order by number sequence. I didnt collect very many, only 1-170, then maybe 15 or so after that, because I soon got out of pokemon in about 2001-2002. I'm getting ready to move to Hawaii in a couple weeks, and just took out the ol pokemon cards. I dont need them and I want to get rid of them. I want to upload some photos from my computer camera. Do I save them to a website like photobucket then insert that crap or something. I do this ALL the time : ) Holy crap not too mention that when I got to japan in 1997 I remember playing the original pokemon games on gameboy. Whoa. Its all coming back to me. Thats right! Booster packs were only 3$! 3-100 yen coins. Good times.
