Didn't get tricked myself, but rather my parents did by buying into the religious zealotry and claimed "pocket monsters are demonic" and throwing away my whole collection after listening to another parent.
This was all pre 2010 so basically had the golden era of cards en masse. Like binders and binders of holos. The few key cards I remember, looked up on TCG the other week. $4-500 per card for some of my over collected sets.
I still cry.
Tsk tsk tsk. Sounds like your parents owe you a 3br house.
