MMC's Question of the Week 🌿✨

Let’s take a trip down memory lane!!
Do you remember the very first Pokémon card you ever got?

Mine was a Base Set Jigglypuff! I still remember holding it in my hands at the card shop! We bought a lot of singles at the time because the game was pretty hard to find at first. These days, I’ve gotten really into collecting cute Grass-type cards like Leafeon, Oddish, Vileplum, Sewaddle, and all the adorable flower oddballs in between 🍃💕

Whether your first card was shiny, scratched, or straight from a playground trade, I’d love to hear what it was, and if it influenced how you collect today!

📸 Bonus points if you still have it and want to share a pic!

That's an adorable story! ☺️

I don't remember exactly what my first Pokémon card was, as I think I bought a starter deck or something similar. Nevertheless, if I had to pick a card from that era, the first that comes to mind is Koffing. I remember I liked the card because I always thought this Pokémon was quite a funny one 😆

I remember having a first trade at the park... I can't remember if I had a Magmar and traded it for Onix because Onix had more HP or if I traded an Onix for a Magmar.

I hope I got the Magmar in the trade...

It's kinda cute that, as kids, we thought that HP was the most important feature to declare if a Pokémon was strong or not 😆

My first ever Pokémon cards were a collection of Base and Jungle cards that I stole from a boy at the beach. I will forever regret it 😭

My first holo card, to my knowledge, was this Nidoqueen card from the Jungle set, given to me by a my friend who lived in the same street as me.

I still have it to this day, safe and sound in my folder

I wish I could have a "first holo card" memory like you! But mine was probably a Venusaur that I pulled from a booster pack bought from my dad 🌱

Wish I could remember my first holo. I really don't have much memory of specific cards or pulls beyond just getting my first card and having the first trade.

Makes me sad I don't know where my childhood card binder is.

Could it be at a parents or relative? Attic tends to be a good place to check. I hear these stories about missing binders all the time, I hope they turn up!
