I had a huge collection of Pokemon cards growing up. Today, they're very far away...in a box...collecting dust.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Show your love?

 

[craigdbfan]

Me too.

I have Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards hidden deep in treasure coves of infancy in my attic.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

My cards are still in their plastic card pages. I had quite the collection!

 

[Sebastos]

Yep, Yu-Gi-Oh cards met the same fate too.

I'm a British, Essex born, non public school graduate who wishes he was still a teenager.

My Dad has a X-Men Beach card collection somewhere if that counts for anything...?

 

[The Amazing Lee]

I have a huge dvd collection. One that I need to get rid of, if I'm ever going to leave home sensibly lol.

 

[lixdexia]

i had alot of cards from alot of games growing up, i love ccgs.

right now i have 2 good magic decks on my shelf and no one to play against

The only card game I ever got into was Magic. That was like in the mid-90's and I had a ton of rare cards. I ended up selling my Magic card collection for like 500 to 600 dollars. It was probably one of the more smarter things I did in my life. I've always wanted to play again but that game really turned you evil. Me and my friends would have actual fist fights over that game. It was like gambling for nerds.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Yeah, because Magic died, like, in 1998.

 

[Hawkingbird]

God "lol" annoys me unless it starts with a capital "L"...why...I do not know :L

i had those too. and 2 or 3 years sets of the fleer cards to include the "animation cell" cards. same for spider-man, a dc universe set, a superman set, and batman sets for the 89 movie (2) returns (2) the animated series (1 complete and the second later one less so) batman begins, and i think the line was called "legends of the dark knight" but i'm not sure, it basically told an abbreviated history of the then continuity for batman up to right after knightsaga.

I know lots of people that still play Magic, it seems pretty big to me still.

lies. magic is the only game you can consistantly count on finding an opponent for in a comic shop. all other ccgs are derivatives of magic!

 

[SpideyInATree]

Yeah, I know that there are still tournaments and stuff at local comic stores around here but in the mid 90s Magic was freakin' HUGE. I was in like sixth and seventh grade during that time and EVERY KID played Magic. There were like two or three giant tables at lunchtime of kids playing.

Luckily...before all the "cool" kids stopped playing I smartly sold my cards to the rich kids. Made tons of money and used it to buy comics. I was, and still am, a giant nerd.

 

[lixdexia]

we played poker at lunch, and rummy in the morning before class

 

[craigdbfan]

I don't know if this happened to anyone else but in my senior year of high school (2008) bringing your Gameboy or GB color became trendy to do. I mean football, baseball, waterpolo players and a lot of the "cool" kids were bringing it to school and playing it during art class or other useless classes we had in that year that weren't AP classes.

It was the weirdest thing. I'm 21 now so I don't know if anybody else experienced this here in their high school.

 

[Sebastos]

Doesn't Magic have a game space in Playstation Home?

 

[lixdexia]

nope. we either slept off hang overs or skipped those classes.

Only thing I ever experienced was the Magic explosion of the early to mid 90's in middle school. When I was in high school pagers were intensely popular...so that shows my age badly.
