I still have a sealed box of Base Set Pokemon. Not 1st Edition, but it is the first set. Event though it's the printing with a blue winged Charizard on the box, it's still rather tough to find these days.

I was running a card shop about 25 years ago. I had a WotC account and got product direct from them. I decided to stash a box back then, just in case. If I was going to the National this year, I would probably bring it along. Since I'm not, I will likely bring it to the next Philly Show. With all the Poke-maniacs (and breakers, YouTube micro-celebrities, etc.) running around, demand is pretty strong.

I thought about opening it back when boxes were only $1,000 or so. At this point, though, it seems insane to rip packs of Base Set.
