Abandoned Pokemon Cards In The Dirtiest Garage Ever!

I'm a 90s kid so I entered the hobby when it came out in 99! Even bought some Japanese single cards on eBay. I exited in about 2005 and got back in in 2023!

Im a bit younger than most people who enter the hobby (17), so I got into the hobby in the XY era. I would crack open a copious amount Roaring Skies and even some B&W Legendary Treasures when those were more affordable and available. Sadly, I re-entered the hobby at the worst possible time (the S&V era). Fingers crossed it gets better.

I remember I first started collecting Pokémon when I was in elementary school and my parents where going through a divorce so the hobby helped me get through all those tough confusing emotions. I was too young to remember prices but I do remember going to flea markets and seeing so much Pokémon cards being sold! It really is amazing that Pokémon has been going on all these years 😊😊😊

Got into this adventure with my son in 1999, so I remember Base Set BOXES for around $100!!! Have been in and out several times as life and finances change. Current run started in the last year of S&M. And there's nothing more entertaining than Sean's incomplete sentences!! "Under Boob"

I entered the hobby when I was a kid when Pokémon first came out in 99. I was in and out for a while. Now that my 2 boys are into it I have been back with them for the last 2 years!!!! Nothing better that collecting with my sons!!!!

Started collecting around black and white buying the 20 dollar tins at toys r us. then stopped around sun and moon base release for like 8 years through quarantine. Finally restarted last fall with 151 and have been looking through buying just what looks cool from around xy and sun and moon since xy was definitely my favorite era. Course I’d never seen or held a base set pack but have some cards from around then whether from garage or thrift stores but definitely wish id kept up with the hobby more

Entered the hobby in 1999 and collected with my sister for a couple years. Then got into sports cards and forgot about Pokemon. Got back into it last year and loving it!

I used to collect as a kid back in the late 90’s early 2000’s, I have a binder filled with vintage cards including the topps set… it’s where abouts are unknown though😢 I got back into collecting in 2023 and I’m loving it!

Also a 90s kid and was buying packs for like $3 at card shows at the time. Left for a long while and came back into it in the middle of Sword and Shield era. Good times!

Ya im old, so I was "too cool" in 99 for Pokémon. I got into Pokémon when crown zenith arrived cause my kids liked watching Pokémon videos like yours (Thank you for that Vault!!) Now I feel like these packs you just opened are legendary and such a treat! I wish I got in years ago.

Another 90s kid here, I was ripping jungle, base and fossil as a kid. :) I re-entered the hobby when obsidian flames dropped, wanted to build a collection for my daughter and I since I lost all my old cards.

I’m only 20 so I’ve been collecting since late D&P, and it’s crazy how much this tcg has transformed. I stopped collecting for a while after XY finished, but was still opening packs. It wasn’t till tag teams when I started actually collecting again

Should've walked your dog to the park and opened the packs at the park lol

Got into Pokemon 13 ish years ago and I’m 21 now, haven’t been disappointed! Sitting on a 12k collection at the moment, and it continues to climb. BW/XY era was honestly the peak of full arts

I started collecting for a short time in 99-2002 and I got back into the hobby again last year so it's a completely different scene, which I suppose isn't unexpected given the time gap between my collecting but the prices for specific cards and boxes now seems hard for the average fan/collector to keep up with. Going to stores now, at least where I live, you cross your fingers that the shelves have one blister pack left. It's still awesome to collect and it's been great to get back into the hobby. Thanks for all your content as usual PokeVault.

I entered the hobby in ‘99. I bought my first base set pack in ‘99 and pulled a base Alakazam holo. That card still holds a special place in my heart man❤️

I’m in the process of moving at this very moment. Your garage is nothing compared to what I’m dealing with right now. lol. I’m definitely jealous of your garage contents vs mine. Those Hidden Fates Zard tins are 😍. I hit the button a long time ago and it was a great decision. I honestly just started collecting again when 151 came out. And no I have never seen a base set pack for $50. That would be amazing lol. Hit the button already people. 😊

Started back around 2001 and used my allowance to buy a pack every couple of weeks. Fell out of the hobby around 2005 when Yugioh was became the local card game everyone played and could only afford 1 card game, but back at it now and, while I'm sad for all the years I missed, I can't help but look at all the awesome cards that are coming out now and my love for the hobby is stronger than ever.

Started the hobby as a kid. I have one base set pack several jungles and fossils into the neo era but stopped right before neo Destiny... Which hurts to this day. I got back into it around chilling reign. However I did do a YouTube video that you can go watch where I bought a vivid voltage and a crimson invasion pack in the store called opening a pack 20 years later. Not even knowing what reverse holos were or anything. Everything was new to me lol.

90’s baby! I started at the beginning! I remember going in stores and buying base set and fossil packs and opening them in the sandbox back home. Boy if I knew what I know now! 😢
