I had ALL of them. My dad passed in 2004 after 9/11 complications and I lost all my childhood stuff. Photos, possession…… all my Pokémon cards. I hope someone got them and they didn’t rot. It was a hell of a collection 😢❤
My uncle gave me the pokeball when i was like 7 and i threw it right away to see if it was just like in the anime, and it broke. He was disappointed. He kept the gold pokemon.
These things can go for like $400 in mint condition these days. About five years ago my brother's babysitter was cleaning out her attic, found a FULL SET of these in MINT condition, and sold them to child me for $50. I still have all of them, with the Pokeballs and the certificates, though they're not mint anymore because I was a dumb child.
i got them all same way family member was a trucker so he got them cause pokémon fan they knew i took care if them even as a kid when they passed was in his will why i have 2 copy of red blue and green one for play one for collection
Poliwhirl will always be my favorite water type, my great grandpa got me a Poliwhirl plushie cause he saw my Charmander and Squirtle toys, he didn't have any idea what he was even getting but he knew i was gonna like it
I remember my brother and I found a copy of the Togepi in the abandoned house down the street from ours Then we fought over whose it was, our mom took it and she made it disappear. 9 years later, she has no clue what she did with it.
God i remember one day my mom came home and brought these golden pokemom cards that she got from a friend and give them to me it was the coolest thing ever

My friend gave me one when I was younger and then I lost it (didn’t know the value). Recently found it. It’s a bit worse for wear and the gold is starting to peel on Pikachu but I still appreciate that he gave it to me :).
Just found 3 of my old ones in my dad’s attic a couple months ago. My daughter is fascinated by them now but when I was a kid they were cool for a day then dumb and worthless. Great lesson to my daughter with her “useless” cards now. Shes learning from my mistakes.
Scrolled past this as I sat at my desk with my gold mewtwo displayed on the shelf next to it. Totally picked it up to appreciate it as I watched this 😊
I still have the Jigglypuff one my mom got me because she told me I was adorable and had the same temper! She is happy to see its still in great condition since i rarely opened it.
I have the Pikachu one! My mother used to be friends with someone from America and she sent that over along with a Pokemon themed magazine as a gift for me when I was younger.
I have a poliwhirl one still, my dad kept it when i was a kid cuz it was a duplicate. He passed away a couple years ago and I found it in his closet. I opened it on and put it on display on my battle station.
We had all of them, we had one of almost every first edition card as well. My dad convinced my brother and I a few years into collecting the stuff to "grow up" and throw it all away. I still resent that. I know I threw away literally thousands of dollars worth of cards. My brother might still have a binder with some of his in our parent's storage building, but we've never found it.
I’ve got a few of these! Charizard and mewtwo are on my desk right now haha. My original mewtwo got stolen by some brat back in middle school but so glad I have more now :)
Ah yes I remember when they had these my mom bought one for her, older sister and brother and me. Pikachu, Charizard, MewTwo, and Poliwrath. I still have them but I don't have the pokeball displays anymore. It's a nice memento to have in her memory.
My parents tried keeping the ones they got me when i was younger but yeah they eventually either got lost or damaged.....wished i took better care of them when growing up 😅

Late 90s early 2000s burger king was the literal king of toys and things like this.
They even had video games.

Yup I still have mine in the plastics case with the original Pokémon balls. Coolest things ever. This is when toys were actually worth holding on to
The reason Poliwhirl was so pushed was because of nepotism-
I mean it was Satoshi Tajiri's favorite Pokémon
And wasn't the starter of the original charter in his story
@DW-qs7zd yes it was the starter of the manga's protagonist, because it was the creator's favorite Pokémon
@@DanielMartinez-zx2pv it's not nepotism, the man made all pokemon, it was favoritism.
