Unless there is already a thread going for this, I thought it would be cool and very interesting to see and hear what people’s first owned PSA graded cards were and the stories behind them!
I was browsing through my collection last night and came across mine! It’s a psa 10 1st edition remoraid from neo rev! Very unimpressive, I know… But I’ve always liked the card and its simplicity and the different shades of blues used on it and how it all goes together. I paid 20 bucks for it with free shipping from some random on eBay. It’s crazy this card started it all.
My first PSA card was a 1st Edition Blaine’s Charizard in GEM MT 10. I had always really liked the artwork so one day I decided to grab a PSA 10 copy. Ever since then I haven’t stopped collecting.
A PSA 10 1st edition neo genesis Sneasel and a PSA 10 unlimited jungle holo Wigglytuff. Two cards I used to play in decks when they were relevant. In my mind they represent the best gen 1 card and the best gen 2 card in terms of playability in the early days of the TCG, which give them some added historic value, at least to me. For quite a long time these two were the only graded cards in my collection.
I only own one, so it’s easy for me: a japanese Misty’s Tears PSA 9.
Twos years ago I discovered the PSA world and that everybody own PSA cards… last year I dediced that I wanted my piece of the cake. =)
