I remembered my first pokemon card like it was just yesterday...

wait...it was just yesterday!

no seriously.

It was an ancient mew. OOOOHHHH. I was bored and went to Walmart yesterday, and I saw pokemon cards, and bought a pack (they were only 3$) and I picked out an ancient mew. Yeah. Nerd gasm there.x3

It was a REALLY old Pikachu... lemme find a Google picture of it.... http://www.pokemon-paradijs.com/ruil...e3-pikachu.jpg
I still have it, but now I've got 2 of 'em.

EDIT: http://paizo.com/image/product/catal...P0064_500.jpeg Try that one.

^403 error.

what does that stand for? DX
Anyways, a really old one? I haven't seen a really old one in a looong time.

My first Pokemon Card was a really, REALLY lucky one! From the FireRed/LeafGreen set... I pulled a CHARIZARD EX! It wasn't the first card I saw, but it was my first pack, and definately my favorite still. I brought that card to Bingo (Yes I know its a lame game but hell, It pays my bills.) for luck, and ended up winning $750 in two games. I played a few more and didn't win much more, but that was how I got my first apartment.. Luckily, after that pack, I got into Pokemon games, and STILL have that card. It is now worth alot (Or so I heard) and it is sitting in a Baseball case. It is in MINT CONDITION! Ah, Good Times!

Rayquaza. I forget where I got it, but it's the first and only card that I ever had.

I didn't get a first card. I got a first pack of cards. I know that the rare in that Jungle booster was a Holographic Flareon...

My first one was a charmander card. I wish I remember what happened to that binder.

I have a Charizard Ex FRLG, my friends were pretty mad about it but hey! Not my fault I chose the right pack and you didn't right? Actually... I have a few rare cards. Maybe I will post them all after I go through my single card cases.

It's so long ago now that I can't remember! ._.

It's one of the really old ones, I think it may have been a Charmander...

*Goes on to Google Images*

Hey, I have that Charmander. Or I used to anyway...

I'm not really into Pokemon Cards anymore, but I still have alot of them. My first one was an Ivysaur.



I can't find my original, but that picture works too

Mine was a cute Pichu(or was it the Zangoose... i dunno it was a pack of cards)

Mine was a Shining Charizard that I gave my friend 15 dollars for. The next day though I took it to school and it got stolen. I don't know what happened to it after that.

Oh man, this is WAY back for me.

Let see if I can remember...
Grr... too many cards as a kid.

I do remember having one of the first Pikachu cards.
I also remember having a Dunsparce card

Maybe the original holographic Charizard...I can't truthfully pinpoint my first one. =/

I believe it was a Pikachu from Neo Destiny.

Story Time!

Once upon a time, I lived in Italy. Burger King was giving away Telletubby toys in their Kids meals. This girl on my bus always brought cards. She said she would give me a fire energy card if I put on a show with the Telletubbies. I did.

I still have that card today. All four corners are bent down and the card looks like crap. But it's still in my binder

One day, back when I was in... fifth grade, I think... I decided to ask a friend of mine about the TCG, seeing as she brought a bunch of her cards to school that day.

When I showed some interest in collecting the cards, she game me a spare Sandshrew (Base Set) of hers to start me off. I still have that thing somewhere in my room.

My first card was in a pack of Japanese ones from a store in a district in my city. The pack had things like Potion and all, but then it had a Japanese Holo Moltres, not the promo one, but the one with Divebomb or something like that, which took 80 damage, and required 4 Fire Energies. I still have it to this day even though I haven't collected in ages.

This beast was my first card. I now have like 20 of them.

my first rarest card was a shiny mr.mime from the first set it came out in. I do believe it was the jungle set...? but after about 3-4 years the shiny part of the card came off. (i didnt take good care of my cards back then) but for my first first card was a pikachu from the 1st base set 1st edition. (with 12 other cards from the pack it was in)

Torterra Lvl X from a Tin Can.
How EPIC.

i remember my first card(S).
A long time ago.....I found these cards lying arround, pokemon cards of corse. I remember there was a bunch of the original base set cards. wartortle had to be my favorite out of them all.

My first cards were those included in the 2-player starter kit form the original Base Set.

My first card was a Pikachu, soon I went on to go but the booster packs, unfortunately people kept stealing cards since the trading card game got famous.

has anyone ever like took one of your extra copys of a old pokemon card and drew on it or custom made a picture on it? For my evee card i made it a evee gold 5 and changed the letters of the attacks with ick attack (quick attack) and tail bag (tail wag) and colored it gold with a gold colored inked pen

My first card was Bill! Draw two cards! ;D
A classmate in 3rd-grade gave it to me, long before I had any interest in the TCG.

never played the game as a kid

but i worked in a movie theater when the first pokemon movie came to America and we had a extra unopened box of the give away cards i was the only one working there that liked pokemon cus i played the video game
so the boss let me take the hole box
first one i opened was the mew card

My first card since 2005. I got it a few weeks ago. Seriously, I spontaneously brought three packs of HS Legends and this was the first card I saw from the first packet.

1 attached image

Ahh~. Everyone bought packets. I didn't. .3.

Well, I didn't see much of my mum so she had no idea I'd fallen in love with Pokémon; but we were walking along the street, and there were cards flung across the road; clearly because someone had bought the pack, found the rares, and discarded all the commons they didn't need, which is fair enough.

The only card I specifically remember was a Rhydon, from the Fossil set, which was later stolen from me.

But still, those 5 or 6 cards turned into a collection of over 3,000 - which I then sold off, to collect 'properly'. ♥

My first card was a Magnemite. x3 I found it in class one day.

Oddly enough, the day I found it, a MILLION kids brought them to school, and trading commenced. Some kid actually wanted to trade me a Mr. Mime for my Magenemite, which I did. o3o He looked cooler to me.

Believe it or not, I still have that very Mr. Mime in my deck. It may not be tournament-legal anymore, but c'mon, he's immune to any attacks that do more than thirty damage. D: AND THE EFFECTS OF THOSE ATTACKS

Mr. Mime = Wall of Death

My first one was a level 40 Lucario that my friend gave to me. I would put a picture up, but I lost it. D:

I can't rememeber probably the shiny machamp from the base set

My first card was a Base Set Charmander I got from this kid in first grade.

Mine was an exclusive limited edition pikachu but it got dystroyed in the wash

A plusle. I lost it

ahhh, that takes me back. it was christmas morning of 2002. i was about half way through my stocking-stuffers when i found a note that said "look in the bathroom". i went into the bathroom, looked in the hamper, and sure enough, it was filled to the brim with cards. from packets to tins, they were everywhere. but the first one i saw, the very first one i held, was the japanese southern islands promotional mew, in mint condition.

My first card was a Base Set sparkly Charmeleon. I found it in my Older Brother's room, wedged between his wall and bed. Let me find a picture... http://pokemon.marriland.com/images/...charmeleon.jpg Yeah, that. But sparkly. All of it was sparkly but the Charmeleon picture itself. I still have it, and cherish it to this day. I have never used it in a deck though. Oh, me and my centimentality. If that's a word.

A Zapdos Card.

My first card was a magmortar card.
I started collecting them last year.

I got my first pack of Pokemon Cards when I was about 5 so I can't really remember. It was probably one of those Charmander ones from the first set of cards (:

Ehehe, I remember getting a Machop, Nidoran M, Pikachu and a Shiny Hitmonchan in my first ever pack of cards. <3

I got a Plusle first and my brother got a Minun first. How coincidenial is that

uhhh...uhhm i really don't remember. My first card was in like '98

First series Charizard.

My first card was an empoleon level X. I have treasured it forever

Japanese Mew. :S

Fire energy card..

The first cards I got were an Eevee card, and a Combusken card. They were both in one of those little Pokemon Organized Play packs (or POP packs, as the guys at the league we used to go to called them) that the clerks at a gaming store gave us when we were looking for full-sized decks for me and my brother.

Technically my first card was a spanish rapidash card.
However, the first card I got when I started to be serious about collecting was umbreon, which I bought off ebay.

Pidgeot 1st Edition. I don't have it anymore though.

I can't remember what my first card was but it was from the crystal guardians set.

bellsprout

First series Cubone. I found it on my front porch, right next to a Machop. My brother took the machop.

A first series Cubone. found it on my front porch.

sorry for the double post. it said that the first one couldnt post...

My first pokemon card was a Metapod.

Holographic base set Blastoise. Unfortunately not first edition...

I'm not exactly sure which was first...but it was either the Ancient Mew or the Pikachu, and I actually still have them all...the Pikachu and Raichu actually are in a non-official deck of mine.

I can tell you my first promo card, The Mew that has 50hp and has the attacks psywave and **** (Cant rember the other attack) but i got it through a pokemon tcg magazine
