I do recall that at the time.

I mean, they can't all be as cheap as Pro-Set!

Pacific Cards thought otherwise!

I think the X-men cards were Fleer Ultra, which was pretty much the first direct competitor to Upper Deck as far as quality goes.

That’s it, I’m cracking it open tonight.  I have tomorrow off for stupid property appraisal stuff and I have some genuine free time coming up.

Ha, just ordered a copy from Amazon. Excited to check it out!

It’s been a couple years since I’ve been to a funeral thankfully. My mom went through a major health scare earlier this year that shook me. Almost lost her to sepsis. It’s tough watching your loved ones grow old, and even tougher watching someone not that old go down due to disease, accidents, etc...

Nice! Where did you visit? There's so much to see and do.

It was only a few day stopover on my way to China for work, so I mostly stayed around Tokyo with a day trip to Kamakura.

Worked as a translator at a Japanese-owned fuel tank company for a few years, and then I went out on my own as a freelancer.

That’s awesome. Made my first trip to Japan this year and had an amazing time. 

Glad you made it over man!

Gameboy for me. Never had it growing up so I haven’t ventured into collecting for it, but I love the box art on a lot of the games and so many unique titles not seen on other systems. 

I’m gonna have to track this down soon....for science.

Chrono Trigger

Lunar Silver Star Story

Breath of Fire 2

Do you like metroid style platformers?

Definitely 

Being from Minnesota I have no problem going out in a storm, plus having a truck that can get around no problem helps too. Sometimes it’s quite peaceful to head out, even stopping to help people that may have gotten stuck. 

Any great games come out recently? Looking for something to take on a long flight. 

Welcome!
