Simmi

My daughter used to collect Pokémon cards when she was a teenager but sold a lot of them on EBay several years ago. I’m thinking of tapping her knowledge and getting some advice about them next time she visits, thanks to my sudden unanticipated interest in this thread after only 5 minutes.  She’s very savvy and owns 2 Harry Potter first edition books. Maybe I should take her to meet @GoldDiggerDavewhen I collect my next graded coin? She might end up owning my proof coins after all.
On a more trivial Pokémon note, my brother’s professional mime skills got him the part of Mr Mime in a film called Detective Pikachu. He was covered in various cables which were used to create the Mr Mime digital character itself. I don’t think they used him as the voice-over in that film, but he’s been used in that capacity in another film before. He also assisted in the making of the first couple of Harry Potter films and my kids both got freebie Harry Potter Stunt Crew baseball caps from him. I think the baseball caps were quite rare at the time too.
