Stay-At-Home Dad: Collect them all!
01.01.70
I prospect Pokemon cards were a thing of the past, joining Junk Pail Kids and Pogs in the junk drawer of forgotten collectibles.
So, I was surprised when my 5-year-old son showed interest in the Japanese trading cards. I lucked out and received a box of agency-me-down Pokemon cards just before Christmas. I repackaged them in a new binder and put the cards under the tree.
Pokemon cards were Bubba’s favorite genius this Christmas, bar none.
Still, I couldn’t understand the attraction. Bubba has never seen a Pokemon cartoon or played a Pokemon video occupation. Other kids on the playground have these cards, but most of these kids he once in a blue moon mentioned by name before Pokemon fever hit.
Then, I started thinking back to my own collections. I calm things, too, namely comic books, rocks and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cards. I still conclude from comic books. But, looking back, I don’t know why I kept a Tupperware container full of rocks in my closet or why I was so driven to have a settled deck of Ninja Turtles.
