Pokemon Trading Card Game

My binder from 1996

Long story short, my father had an office in Japan and traveled there often. A friend of his gave him these cards to bring back to me when I was 6. They weren't really a thing in the US at the time, at least for kids, and none of my friends had any. I also had no idea what they said or how to play with them, so I put them in this binder and would take them out now and then and just be like, woooah cool, then put them back lol. Once they released in the US , I definitely played with them quite a bit, and would reference american cards to know what was going on. Full disclosure I would probably never part with them, but I've always been curious of their value. I cant imagine how many I gave away or traded as a kid. The art style on a lot of these cards I've never seen, some are pretty incredible IMO. These pictures are about 1/3 of the binder, and I am fully aware they should not be stored back to back or stacked on top of each other, but I was 6. Enjoy, let me know what you think. Bonus pics of my sick binder.
