Greetings, Pokemon trainers. If you grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, you no doubt have your own collection - large or small - of Pokemon cards. Before the days of Pokemon Go, and back when McDonald's still had good collaborations, collecting cards, trading them for other cards or packs of Oreos, and playing with unofficial rules on the playground the was all the rage. The final destination of these beloved collections vary greatly. Some collections with all sorts of rare and ultra rare cards are displayed proudly on walls. Some people choose to be a bit more subtle with their nostalgic pride by keeping the objects of their childhood hyper-fixations tucked away in an album usually meant for family photos. Some collections find their way to garage sales where lucky fans stumble upon them for cheap. Other fans sell their rarest cards on eBay, and really smart fans sell surprise bundles for high prices to customers who love a good gamble. And artists, such as @3devious_art, turn their cards into elevated 3D works of art through painstaking exacto-knife work. Check our a selection of her glorious pieces below.
