Trade Night is back at Deez Cards. On Saturday, October 24th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, we are opening up the shop for another night built around what the hobby is supposed to be about: cards, trades, conversations, and meeting other collectors.

There were just two Game Boy games in Japan: Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Green Version. They launched on February 27, 1996.
