Hello.
I'm Formula Nine. You can abbreviate to F9 if you wish.
I started collecting Pokemon cards when the Base set came out. The first Booster I opened (the first cards I ever received), which was Base, yielded a Blastoise holo (Unlimited).
I kept buying until around Fossil, and the momentum of the game just died down. However, that does not mean I don't have other cards from the sets that came after- I have a First Edition Team Rocket Dark Hypno and an Unlimited Team Rocket Dark Machamp. However, the most sentimental of my holos must either be my Blastoise or my Unlimited Fossil Muk, which I still have (and will never give up). I think, I'll pass it down to my kids when I grow old..
I know admins can see my age. It's not true, actually. I was in a helter-skelter for signing up because I found a large Pokemon TCG forum. I started collecting the cards when I was around 7 or 8. You can do the math, right?
Besides from Pokemon, I take joy in graphic design, music, and will soon start doing some aggressive skating.
Any there any resources here that will show which cards and which sets of cards are legal for tournament play?
