Never got any!
Oh gods, you just reminded me of a very sad day in my childhood.
I had a MAJOR obsession with Pokemon cards-more to the point, I was a gigantic Team Rocket fan. I had about two completed decks with several dozen rare "shinys" and holographics. When I was 11, my aunt went to New york and picked up two ultra-rare "Team Rocket Extreme" decks. They were bordered in black, had special US-only power ups, new artworks and were generally quite epic.
I used to keep them all safe in the top of my dresser. It was an old fashioned thing with a lid on it that lifted up to reveal a mirror and a small pitted area for jewelery/trinkets and make-up.
Anyways, not long after I got my covetted Team Rocket decks, we were having a clear out of old furnature and I'd emptied out my dresser save for the Pokemon cards. I'm not sure what I was doing at the time but I was called away for whatever reason and I told my mother explicitly NOT to throw out my card collection whilst I was gone.
You can see where this is going, right?
I came home the next day to find my dresser gone, along with my precious cards. when I panicly asked my mother about their fate, she said the "furnature's being burned down at the rubbish tips" and seemed to have no idea that she'd just burned £200 worth of Pokemon cards.
I still haven't forgiven her for it. :mad:0 -

Gibson Les Paul for me, ever since I saw Slash with one. I got it eventually:DFor me, I've always wanted to own a pair of knee-high Doc Martins.
Growing up during the early ninties when grunge was all the rage, I desperately wanted to own a pair of those reliable, stompy and very very stylish boots.
SOME DAY.Oh gods, you just reminded me of a very sad day in my childhood.
I had a MAJOR obsession with Pokemon.
Am I the only one who see's something desperately wrong here. Grunge to Pokemon and you were still a child.
Weren't those two trends eons apart?0 -
To see Prince in concert.
June 16th 2008 is a day that will live on in my mind forever. That bastard.
Think that was possibly the only real chance for me to see him and...fcuker cancels..
I also wanted to fill one of those premier league sticker books.
Never got anywhere near it though, my books were always pathetically scarce, with like 4 or 5 stickers for each team.
Then there were always these kids with big feckin piles of stickers.
These kids were usually the fat kids, don't know why...they just nearly always were.
The lads that had probably never kicked a football in their life were able to fill their books with stickers no problem.
Bastards.

Pearl Jam's first album was out in 1992, followed with Nirvana in 1994.
Pokemon got big here around 1997-98.
In 1996, I was eight years old and my then twelve year old brother introduced me to grunge. It's been downhill ever since.0 -
