Dude I had those also, actually a ton of MTG, Star Trek, Star Wars, Vampire and a few other games not to mention those NBA cards, that brings back a lot of good memories. Maybe if I ever make it back to the UK I can also get the dust off, I wouldn't mind a game of MTG :)
Yeah, there were really a lot of CCGs back then, but MTG has really been the most established one and still going strong even until now. I hope Splinterlands become the same, if not better being in Web3. :)
