The good old days

Ive just found my old collection of Pokémon cards (I stopped collecting in 2007) and Ive been looking through them and noticed how much I love the 'old' cards from the Base/Jungle/Fossil and the Neo Revolution/Genesis sets. I'd been collecting since the days of the Base Set until about 2003-2004, then I sold my collection.

I started a new collection (which was even bigger and better) at the beginning of 2007 and stopped my buying at the end of the year.

Sure I've got a few EX and Lvl X cards myself but the new ones just arent the same in my opinion, they've lost some of the appeal.

The artwork isnt as cool anymore either. There was something 'kooky' about most of the older cards, especially Kagemaru Himeno's illustrations.

Anyway, what are your thoughts? Anyone else here who's loving the nostalgia?

I ended up buying 8 'Brock' cards from the Gym Leaders set tonight on eBay. Real good prices too.
