Yeah, i play occasionally irl (Pre-Release events mostly) and online every day. I've had cards since Base Set. The new set will prolly be valuable. Original 151 are popular (looking at you Charizard) and it's a special set and those end up usually rarer/limited ways to get the cards.
Not really into it anymore but Im not going to lie. I would totally want the original 151 cards. Ill have to look into that.
