I hate that they actually became valuable over the years. I gave all my Pokémon cards (and my crystal game boy color) to some kid in my neighborhood when I out grew them. I at least hope he had fun with that stuff.
That's the fate pokemon cards were created to have. To be played with and loved until they're a fuzzy faded piece of trash in their 4th kid's closet.
Nowadays far more people seem to collect to sell then to play, its why graded cards are so common. Sucks MTG is heading there too.
I knew a bunch of dudes that did that with Magic cards back during revised. They would collect alpha, beta, and unlimited cards only to sell.
Always has and always will be people only to collect, in anything. Right now I rarely see a graded magic card, even in card shops. Magic is to play, not collect imo, but as hasbro tries to woo collectors, the game gets more expensive and harder to just play.
