Pokemon cards (New bedford massachusetts)

My son wants pokemon cards so he can fit in and also play the card game with friends. I have tried to buy some pokemon cards for him but I can not find them in any stores. I was told people buy them out quick. I've never once seen them in a store. So I was hoping maybe someone might have a few pokemons in back of there closest or basement they haven't looked at in forever. They can be ripped I dont. Care and can be the worst pokemon cards ever who will never win a game. Even if he loses every game at least he gets to keep up & play with them instead of just feeling left out. Please let me know thanks so much
