Your life and Pokemon....

Ok. We were all alive when the Pokemon craze hit. I remember being in the 6th grade, and begging my ma to buy me Pokemon cards. I watched the TV show religiously, knew all the Poke raps and had Pokemon Red and Blue on my Gameboy. My main focus was the cards. Everyone in my school at that time traded and collected Pokemon cards. We battled for them, via Poke card battles, and gambled with them like they were money. I used to take what I won and sell them to the kids at school. I was like a Pokemon drug dealer. Kids would come up to me requesting a card and I would procure them for them. I would even steal cards form Toys R' US which usually kept choice material like holofoil cards. Then the Poke Trainers card hit. Then the holofoil Japanese cards. That is when I made my big money. I never really made of 20 bucks at one time but 20 bucks is a lot of cash for a 6th grader. I always bought Chinese food for lunch. Anyway, what are your memories of Pokemon during its craze? Did you collect the card thinking they would be worth something in a few years, or were you a Poke dealer like me?
