This time it’s Sun and Moon - Unbroken Bonds.
So ive been collecting Pokemon since late 2016 now and during this time ive accumulated close to 2,000 cards. All the bulk is pretty much given away or stored in a not so cared for way. From the start ive sleeved the cards and then kept them in deck boxes, then another deck box, a larger deck box and so on all the way up to my current predicament, so I’ve been through various iterations of how to store these cards up to today.

OK - so way too much time has passed since ive updated this blog. Way too much time. I guess its easy to become so bogged down with home life, study and work and ive had a bit on my plate of recent. In all this time that has passed sadly I feel like I don’t have much to show for it. On the work front, I’m nearly 6 months into a job i’m really loving, working with great people, awesome tech and a heaps to learn.

Prices fairly steady but falling which I guess is in line with the set not being as new anymore.

Wondering how long it will be before we get some half descent cards now.

Many moons ago when I was back in high school a few of my school mates introduced me into the world of collectable card games, and in particular the Decipher Star Wars CCG, this was an instant hit with me. I mean what’s not to love about card games and Star Wars? The game had an easy mechanic that didn’t involve anything more than just the cards and the games were relatively quick.
