Would people be willing to share good websites or sources they’ve found for different languages? So far I’ve either been lucky with eBay, or randomly found people on facebook or IG, but would be curious if there are good staple websites for things like Korean or Indonesian releases!

I’ve had luck with CardTrader (as a US resident who doesn’t have regular access to CardMarket) for other non-English European languages, as well as a small scattering of Korean and Japanese.
Mercari JP also occasionally has Korean product.
For Indonesian/Thai releases, I’ve contacted sellers on eBay that are willing to source bulk for me. I’ve had pretty good experiences with them so far!

For Korean you can try Bunjang or just search for the cards Korean name on Naver and see what online shops might show up. For Indonesian you should be able to get everything on Tokopedia. In both cases you’d additionally need a proxy shipping service (or just someone living in the respective country who is willing to help) to get them from their respective countries to you.

It doesn’t matter if the depiction of Bonsly in question is crying or at ease: It’s going to show hole.
God bless this journalist.

Has anyone gotten inspired to collect a species just because their card arts are all really great? I’ve been collecting Chinchou despite no previous interest just because the art rocks!

I also collect the lil magnet guys! I had no idea that there was the Korean Base card - tysm!!
Fabulous species collector friends, the time has come to announce all the species I’m (casually) collecting:
- Bulbasaur
- Chinchou line
- Doduo
- Porygon and Porygon 2 (prefer Porygon 2’s design but base porygon has some great cards too. Could care less about Porygon Z)
This feels like a nice spread of different price tiers and number of cards available. I’m focused on vintage non tcg and ex era era so Kanto and Johto Pokemon are helpful. I was also considering Gyarados but in practice I don’t connect with a lot of their cards. I think Gyarados’s size benefits a lot from full arts and my focus right now is pre full art eras.

Collecting magmar and its evolutionary line.
Current grail topps spectre chrome holo. Just got a tag grade 7. My local shop was not happy about cracking a tag. They are tough to get through.
Most wanted: base set 2 blue flame magmar
Wishlist: a full art or sir of magmar. Both magby and magmortar got them magmar does not.
Last release: magmar had 1 card and a cameo cards done in the new storm emeralda set. Magmortar has 1 regular card and a sir in the new set. Already have them. Pre-ordered.
