The future of collecting continues to shine bright. For over 25 years, Pokémon has bridged generations, through its TV series, movies, video games, and trading cards cementing its place as a beloved, long-standing hobby.
With growing demand, a thriving secondary market, and product scarcity, it’s heartening to see that excitement and smiles remain at the heart of the community.
A Hub for the Hobby: Lord Rush Collectibles
Local card shops are essential to keeping this spirit alive, and Lord Rush Collectibles in Frisco, Texas, is a perfect example of what a community-driven shop should be.
From:
Under-market pricing,
Special release-day drops for Loyalty Members (highly recommend signing up!),
To the famous Trade Nights…Lord Rush is building more than a store. They’re building memories.
Trade Night: A Whole New Experience
We’re regulars at Lord Rush and often attend Trade Nights…but this one felt different.
This time, we came as traders, not just observers. That shift opened up a new perspective. We met new people, made new connections, and shared in meaningful experiences.
Watching kids walk up…eyes wide, binders open, excitement building…was pure magic. Smiles turned to grins. Joy turned into energy that filled the night.
A Family Affair
As the title suggests, generational excitement was everywhere. As a family man, it was amazing to see parents and kids enjoying the event together.
Whether it was:
Birthday gift finds
Hunt for Pikachu
Collecting Tony Tony Chopper
Pack battles
Or matching Gengar shirts…the enthusiasm was contagious.

Why It Matters
Seeing families create these moments—bonding over Pokémon, One Piece, Funko Pop!, and Labubus…makes all the time and effort worth it. This isn’t my full-time job. It’s a passion project. A side journey I dedicate my free time to. And none of it would be possible without the love and support of my family.
I’m beyond thankful for them, and for the chance to be part of something so special.
The Future Looks Bright
This new generation is shaping the future of collecting. With every trade, every binder flip, every shared smile…they’re building a legacy.
Big thank you to the Lord Rush team for creating a safe, welcoming, and fun place where these memories can be made. Until next month’s Trade Night…Stay safe and stay blessed.
