My Story

Hey! Welcome to Card Collector 🙂 My name’s Clive and I’m the guy behind the site.

If you’re here to learn about Pokemon cards, you’re in the right place.

I’ve spent the last 7 years re-immersing myself in the hobby that I loved as a kid. And thanks to a wonderfully welcoming and knowledgeable community, I too have a lot of insight to share.

Like many of you, I went mad for Pokemon cards when the first English sets were released in 1999.

I’ve got wonderful memories of buying packs with my mates, making epic trades on the school bus, and even completing my first ever set (Team Rocket).

One thing I think we all have in common is that we wish we would have continued collecting!

Thankfully though, a random nostalgic eBay search got me back into the hobby in 2016, and from that moment I was hooked again!

I went on to collect the entire Base, Jungle, Fossil and Team Rocket sets. Next I purchased booster boxes, graded cards and every Onix card I could get my hands on (my favourite Pokemon!)

To this day, my collection and knowledge goes from strength to strength, which is why I created Card Collector…

I wanted to share what I’ve learnt with others, so you too can experience the joy that I have collecting Pokemon cards again.

So whether you’re just getting back into Pokemon, or you’re a brand new collector, I hope my content brings you a ton of value.
