Hey Guys, I've got a couple of questions about my collection....
Should I bother collecting Base Set 2 cards if I have the original
counterparts, I know I'm never gonna sell them so money isn't a factor ...I
just wanted to know if you guys bothered. Another thing... because of my
location,(Canada), it is hard for me to collect promos, any ideas on how I
could get these without any problems. How long has the Team Rocket expansion
been out...I just can't find First Editions.

    Base Set 2 was created mostly for 2 reasons.  The first is that Base Set and Jungle were both fairly hard expansions to find, and a lot of the players were unable to obtain them.  The second reason was so they could make a buck off a "new" expansion.  We suspect base set 2's value to be low compared to it's Jungle and Base counterparts.  If you already have all the cards, it's probably not worth collecting, unless you just want to.

   Promos in Canada?  The Pokemon League is still the best way we know of up there.  If someone else in Canada knows better info, please inform us.

   Team Rocket has been around since the middle of April, and finding First Edition at this point could be quite a difficult task.
