u/Fossilvsjungle

Hey everyone! I just started collecting Pokemon cards again after years of not collecting. I'm not starting for value purposes I'm genuinely just buying cards | like ! I started buying packs a few months back and it was great fun ripping packs but I didn't get the fulfillment I was looking for even if I pulled something half decent. I realized vintage cards are what I would rather collect since they bring me so much nostalgia. I've been buying cheap common cards from base set, fossil, jungle, team rocket, gym heroes, etc. pretty much the packs I would have been opening as a kid! I only have about two pages in my binder of older cards but I realized quick this is what I wanna collect ! I don't have the budget for the big hitters but even the cheap common cards bring me so much joy owning them and remembering owning them when I was a kid. I feel like this is what the hobby is about, not about the value (dont get me wrong it feels great to have expensive cards!)but about the enjoyment. Thanks for reading :)
