LYC: So it looks like I'll be taking my son to his first Pokemon trading card tournament in January

Gotta do some work on his deck because he has alot of old cards that aren't allowed

"old card's that aren't allowed" why? -- nm - lileve Dec 16, 11:41 6
- They do this in Magic too. Only allow the most current sets so that they can keep the power of the combinations that emerge in check. -- nm - TFox Dec 16, 11:42 3
  - I really need to find my old Magic cards. I wonder if any are worth anything -- nm - oblique Dec 16, 11:44 2
    - I got rid of mine just over 10 years ago. - znufrii Dec 16, 11:58
    - I'm sure some of them are. Some of my old staples are still fetching ok money on eBay. - TFox Dec 16, 11:46
- I'm not sure the specific reasons but they generally allow only the past 10 or so "releases" of the cards. Maybe it's just so they get more money or - oblique Dec 16, 11:42 1
  - it's a mix of both. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 11:44
oh you poor bastard. - Remlik Dec 16, 11:37 4
- this is sad. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:42
- There were two accusations of that Saturday at our local weekly organized play. I'm going to be like a hawk. He has a few that are worthwhile - oblique Dec 16, 11:38 2
  - bring only what you need. It was murder when I ran Pokemon tourneys back in the day. In the space of 4 hours I'd made $900 though. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 11:41
  - unless he plans to trade as well as play, there's no reason to bring more than you need. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 11:39
