About Matt

The name's Matt. 24, and living in good ole UK.

The whole Pokemon craze, for me, started when I was in Primary School (about age 10-12). It seemed like everything Pokemon related kicked off at once. The TV series, figures, Gameboy games, TCG, and another type of Pokemon cards......... Topps! (click here to see what Topps were.)

Topps were the first collection I started with. I've still got the folder of them, which I think is complete, or near enough.

From there,the playground moved on to the Trading Card Game. Now that's where my heart and money lies now. 

Pokemon cards were a thing of the past, until fairly recently when I stumbled upon my girlfriend's old collection of Pokemon cards. After much nostalgia, I went on the hunt for my old self-made box of Pokemon cards I knew was lurking in a dark corner of my home. 

Many days searching, I found the beast of a box! A shoe box from when I was younger that I customised to fit a variety of cards. After the nostalgia sharing with Ash, things just kind of took off from there.

I hadn't realised it was still going! And oh boy, did I get a surprised at the amount of collections!

After viewing a couple YouTube videos (from the awesome PokeCollections and PrimeTimePokemon) they pretty much cemented my passion again for Pokemon cards.

Now I must collect every set. Every box. Every tin. Everything Pokemon Card related. Plus a few extra things along the way.
