I must have been about ten when Pokemon cards got popular. I remember trading all my baseball and football cards for popular Pokemon cards. It sounds a disaster story but actually it wasn't bad; at the time I was collecting the 'next young stars' like Keyshawn Johnson, Ruben Rivera, and Hideki Irabu. About a year or two later, I got bored with Pokemon cards and traded them in for the next young stars...Tim Couch, Pat Burrell, and the great Ron Dayne!! Oh well, i took a two year detour to end up with the nothing i started with, but at least I learned that I could never be a talent scout!
