Read about my motivation
Dear fellow collectors!
@joponnes and @mrbubbles encouraged me on 09-30-2024 to create this thread and share my collection. I am happy they did! 
I began collecting in 2024, but I’ve had a strong fascination with cardboard since my youth. Here, you’ll find various Starmie-related items (my favorite Pokémon) along with some Dragalge cards and merch as well. I like to have things graded because I enjoy the idea of preserving and sealing them, though the grade itself isn’t my top priority—I’m not focused on maximizing profits.
For me, it’s about the joy of collecting and gathering. For this reason I collect without a spreadsheet and am not interested in a masterset of sorts. Most importantly, collecting should deepen the connection between ourselves and our memories - and it should be great fun. 
At this point I want to highlight the most significant card in my collection: the 1st Edition German Base Set Starmie. You might think it’s nothing special, especially given its grade of 3—but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
This card has a unique story. It was given to me by a friend who wanted to clear out his old Pokémon cards, so I gladly took them. As a child, I had my own Pokémon card collection, but sadly, it was stolen by another kid.
When my friend gave me his cards, I felt such happiness and nostalgia. These were the very same cards we used to play with in school, and this Starmie card is the actual card we battled with back in the day. That’s why it’s the most meaningful card to me. It’s like holding onto a piece of my childhood—a physical keepsake filled with emotions and memories from the past. 
Best,
orannge (from Germany)
