    Default Card Sharps

    Are you into card games? Traditional ones? Collectable/trading ones?

    I still have a pile of Pokemon cards somewhere. Actually I think they're in a binder.

    I had the best collection of Pokémon cards in my town when I was young and they were cool. Admittedly, most of them were directly or indirectly obtained via theft, but they were obtained nonetheless.

    I eventually gave them away for free because years of Pokémon related thefts had left me crushed under the weight of my guilt, or something. I forget the actual reason. I could probably have sold that collection for hundreds of pounds, had I kept it.

    I picked Magic: the Gathering back up a few months ago. I don't want to invest too much into it since I only know two other people who play however!

    Man, I would totally get back into M:TG if I knew some people who played it that lived around here.

    I played MtG back during college when my roommate got me into it. I stopped playing after I graduated, though, because I lost the motivation to spend any money on it and I only played Standard. I had a pretty great collection at the time, though, and ended up selling many/most of my good cards to Dr Unne.

    Oh, I didn't realize this was also about non-nerdy card games. I also love poker, and will play blackjack on the very rare occasion that I'm at a casino.

    I refuse to get into Magic: The Gathering because my abundance of geeky habits has me broke enough.

    I was into Pokémon cards as well. I still have them somewhere. I should probably sell them on eBay, as some of them are pretty rare.

    Love playing poker and knocky. We hold the world championship of knocky in my town. I adjudicated a title bout just the other day.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I'm totally addicted to Texas Holdem and M:tG. I use to play both Pokemon and YuGiOh. I even tried the DBZ card game, but it was dumb.

    I used to collect pokemon and yu gi oh cards even though I never actually played with them. I just liked staring at the pictures and attack names. It was also a talking point at school, "yeah, I've got so and so cards". Years gone by and they just ended up collecting dust, so I gave them to relatives who still play.

    I've also collected other miscellaneous cards but pokemon and yu gi oh are the only ones I could have made binders out of.

    There's a group of around 12 of us at work who play MTG right now and usually Draft every Thursday and go to the pre-releases and such (yes I'm revealing how much of a complete nerd I am here...). I've sunk an unthinkable amount of money into it in the past year :S
