I collected Vampire the masquerade for awhile, but then got bored with them and stopped.

i collect yugioh cards and i got quite a formidable deck. its basically a mix of many startegies, but all the cards have a purpose, all of my level 4 or lower monsters are effect monsters, and i have a strategy that can get out a dark paladin and jinzo in 3 turns(given the right cards). i dont know how good a duelist i am, my friends say i am quite formidable but i personally dont know.i dunno if i lack good challenges or if everyone is just poor at dueling. btd is pretty good, but lacks the confidence and funding to go for more adventurous strategies. favourite cards byser shock, byser death and manticore of darkness(my avatar), strongest cards, master of dragon knight(japanese)shinato, king of a higher plane and chaos empiror dragon, envoy of the end. if anyone wants to talk strategies or anything just pm me, i not got msn or aim up and runnin on the new comp yet.

IMHO I think trading cards are just a waste of hard earned money. Think for a minute about how long it takes and how much money you could spend trying to put together an entire collection and then think what else could be done using those resources. It quite honestly baffles me that people can be bothered with them, but that's just my point of view.

For the same reason some on goes out and spends huge chunks of dough on music, or pc stuff. It is a past time, a game to play to entertain yourself and your opponent. Then there are those who do it profesionally, one can make a rather large amount of cash by selling the cards to collectors and players. Players can pull in a large amount of cash by playing on a pro tournament, the purse for the MTG world title was 200k USD, last time i looked it up. There really is no point to it other than a stimulating round of stratigic game play, or , in the case of pure collectors, a chance to meet and talk with people who normaly wouldn't cross your path.
Even further down the path, we TCG players do ALOT more when we meet then just play these games. We hang out together and do every thing you yourself probably do with your friends. But, in those instances when you have to wait for something, rather than sit there bored or breaking something because we are bored, we bust out our decks and have a quick game to pass the time.

I have an X-Men card game but I dunno if it falls into this topic.
I also have two sets of cards but again, I don't know if they count. I got them as full sets. They are "weiner Tracy" (from the movie) and "Animaniacs".
Somewhere at home I have some other cards, but they are just loose ones and not full sets, if ya know what I mean. I keep them in a folder in card pockets but I don't do anything with 'em, as such...just look at 'em! ':blush:'

I played Magic as a kiddie back when they first came out. I think I would've played longer- save for the fact that the 'crowd' when I moved to my new town in early highschool wasn't very friendly. (Aka, those that played.)

You know the type- self-proclaimed offbeats that feel the need to give anyone not wearing black/pentacles/safetypins/death metal t-shirts the evil eye. The ironic thing being, of course, that I was into 99% of their enthusiasms (magic for one) but their reception of me was enough for me to write them off permanently. Nobody to play with=no more magic.

I still have *most* of my cards, but my Grandmother is in possession. I've been trying to get them back for a few years, now, but the opportunity just hasn't arisen. I had a bunch of the originals and one of those huge boxes they used to sell of Ice Age.

Good answer, I hadn't considered that point of view.
