I had at least 2 of every card from the first few sets. I stopped when they got to the third set of games. Spent hundreds, made like twenty bucks...

When I look back on my collections I have over 600 Pokemon cards, 800+ Yu-gi-oh, and 400+ Digimon and since they came 9 in a pack for 8 dollars that is an extimate of 1600$ on cards I feel sorry for my parents.

I bought into it as a kid so I can't blame myself for it now.

Pokemon cards? Ohh yeah, I wasted too much money on those. Plus the price was more than it should have been. I mean 5 bucks? Come on.

I never bought either. I never had any beanie babies, except for the McDonalds ones. As for the pokemon cards, all the ones I owned were given to me by my brother and his friends after they deemed it "un-cool".

Hell yeah, on both of them :lol:

I'd love it if they came out with a Pokemon game for consoles though. I'd totally buy it. I loved the games :lol:

I probably spent a good $300 on Pokemon stuff when I was 11-12 years old. I was into Pogs a little too, but that didn't last very long.

I ended up spending far more on Warhammer which I never finished :? I also spent a bit on Pokemon cards, but not that much, I wasn't allowed to get many.

In the beginning, I mooched off my cousins for most of my Pokemon cards. But, last summer (when I was 16), I actually started to buy my own. I bought about $50 worth. I still think it was money well-spent.

I wasn't an "avid" collector of Beanie Babies, but I did have a few cherished ones. I even had some Pokemon Beanie Babies! :D

I didn't spend hundreds of dollars on either, although I do have some in my storage somewhere.

Yeah I think I blew a lot of money on Pokemon and Yugi-Oh cards, which I still have.

Hmm, I wonder how much the rare/holo cards are worth these days? TO EBAY I MUST GO!!!

My family bought me a lot of Pokemon cards. I never saw the appeal of Beanie Babies though.
