I know I gave myself 5 years for Snap Gyarados and I admit it isnāt realistic - for me itās an arbitrary number just to see how far I can get in those first 5 years. A way to see where the bar can be and re-adjust as needed along the way.
PSA 10s of the following:
Crystal Nidoking
Team Aquaās Kyogre FA (Likely Japanese as the English prints are never gem mint)
Team Magmaās Groudon FA (Likely Japanese as the English prints are never gem mint)
Skyridge Starmie H28
FA Wicke - Burning Shadows printing so bad though
Impossible question for me. 5 years of projecting adjusted income/disposable income for card purchases, and 5 years to determine the āvalueā vs. market rate/availability of my targeted acquisition cards. I am constantly evaluating potential purchases for either value or market availability (will I ever have this purchase opportunity again, and do I have the current cash equivalent to acquire it)? I unfortunately am not goal directed enough to target specific cards without allowing for this fluidity so the best I can do is maintain a āhit list.ā My goal is to maximize and exploit opportunityāwhich Iām working on getting better at. Love the question though and am always casually curious to know what cards others see high value in who have not already met their collecting goals.
The five above however Iām confident Iām able to add eventually in the upcoming five years. Iāve been collecting Pikachu cards for seven years now and own all except these 11, so these five above should be doable in another five years I would assume/hope.
Outside of Pikachu, Iām currently primarily looking for a sealed English WotC #21 Moltres with Swedish and Danish insert cards respectively, to complete that subcollection. I only recently found out the Swedish ones exist, and although Iāve never seen the Danish ones yet for any of the legendary bird promos, it would surprise me if they donāt exist considering the Ancient Mew exist with Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish insert cards as well.

Shining charizard destiny(honestly would rather not buy it, for the money, itās not my favorite card in the world, kinda tired of the zard hype as well. but I want every shining card haha!)
Gold star registeel
Gold star torchic
Gold star Espeon
Gold star umbreon
Just finishing my shiny collection has been my primary goal for a heck of a long time and still is. These are the final super money cards to add to the collection. Registeel is probably the cheapest, but I like his card the most out of the other remaining Shinies to collect.
