Kid Gold

While digging, I found my Pokemon cards! There were a bunch cause as a kid I "caught em all". (lucky me, eh?) Most of these were passed down to my cousin Liam, but I kept all the ones that I thought could be worth something. Of course, my Charizard was one of these. When I was a kid they sold for about 100 bucks. Sadly, they seem to go for about 5 bucks now :/


But I did not buy this once-rare card. I actually found it in a pack of cards (!) at the Maybrook flea market (!!!!!!) when I was 10. That was one of the best days of my child life. Too bad there's no more Maybrook flea market. Most of the vendors moved to the Dutchess Mall and the old market lot was turned into an elderly living facility :p Oh, the demise of my youth!
