I still have my my first string pokemon cards, the most prized being the 1st ed holo charizard I got out of my very first pack

My dusty Yu-Gi-Oh cards far outnumber the pokemon ones, but I love to hover my 1st edition (pre-censor) harpy lady card over my buddy's head, who by the way is neck deep in the game despite my best efforts.
Ah, good times.....simpler times. I was way into the weekly tournaments held down at "Ye Ol' Comic Shop". A little imagination went a long way with them, sure on the exterior it was a number crunching strategic bananza but in my head I was participating in epic clashes that could rival legends. *sigh* The drums of battle tug at my heart strings as I type this out, but I have become to out of touch with that world. My time of glory in that venue has come and gone, time to let someone else waste oodles of money on it
