Malky
Hey Guys! Malky here, the one who rips all the packs… one day I’ll pull the good cards!
What’s your favorite Pokémon and why?
My favorite Pokémon is Bulbasaur! He was my starter for the first Gen games and he was my favorite of Ash’s Pokémon from the original Indigo series. What stood out to me was how strong and protective he was of all the other Pokémon, and even refused to evolve because he didn’t feel the need to change for anyone!
What got you into collecting or playing Pokémon?
I was always into Pokémon, especially the games. I always collected anything Bulbasaur related already. I had also collected Pokémon TCG since I was young but had a on and off relationship with it as I grew older. The turning point was pulling the Bulbasaur IR from 151, ever since then I have not looked back!
What's your current favorite card in your collection?
I have two current favorite cards in my collection, it is the PSA 10 Bulbasaur IR from Stellar Crown in both JP and EN!
What is your ultimate dream card to get?
My dream card would have to be a PSA 10 Bulbasaur 1st Edition (one can dream)

What got you into collecting or playing Pokémon?

Hi! My name’s Merj
What’s your favorite Pokémon and why?
My favorite Pokémon has to be Ditto but more specifically Duplica’s Ditto in the Indigo League. His face is so cute even if it couldn’t change it!
What got you into collecting or playing Pokémon?
I started collecting because FOMO is real. But truly because going to card shows with everyone is always fun times and just hunting for cards that are specific to your collection is a great scavenger hunt amidst all the cards out there.
What's your current favorite card in your collection?
My MVC has to be my slab of the Ditto Charmander illustrated by Yuka Morii. It may only be graded 8.5 but having it signed by Coop from coops_collection makes it a 12!
What is your ultimate dream card to get?
I don’t really have a dream card but I do have a dream set. I’d want to finish Yuka Morii’s set of illustrations, the clay art version of some Pokemon. Someone’s bulk stack is another person’s (mine) treasure!
