i have been reading so many articles about this topic.and by no means
am i sick of the articles they are insightful and some times even funny.

ppl are always talking about ppl who collect only and ppl who play.it
is possible to do both.i collect and play.i help my bro collect the
cards he need to complete his base set collection.i trade my cards with
my friends to get the cards he needs and when i need some cards from his
like lets say a nidoking he will lend it to me so i can play test my
deck.it is a pretty good system.

i collect and play.i trade cards i need and trade for cards that look
nice or i havent collected yet.

the other day my friend had a nidoking my bro needed to nearly complete
his base set{besides a charizard}.i offered a moltres non foil 13 water
energy and a wiggly tuff non foil for that card.he still refused.i was
getting pretty pissed and i am sure uare all saying waht a jerk he must
be until he told me that he was forming a deck that needed that.

then did i realise the errors of my ways.i was actually depriving my
friend of what he needed to enjoy the wonderful game of pokemon .
