If you find Korean Unlimited Base Set Metapod, let @Metapod_museum know.

I’m almost sure he’s searching that specific card.

@Pkmnhawaii_collector Or its pre-evolution Caterpie for @robertocaterpie5, the only Caterpie TCG card he’s still missing (and haven’t even once seen a picture of :sob: ), iirc.

Greetz,

@jaws anything in particular? I’ll keep an eye out for anything and if I spot something I can reach out if you’re interested and let you know how much they’re selling it for. I agree they are a bit hard to find outside of the states and ebay is pricey.

@Sleepingfatboi anything in particular?

@dromanyte @Quuador roger that! I got base set caterpie and metapod on my watch list.

Good lord, XY8 Unlimited is such a pain for me right now. It’s the final Japanese card I’m missing in my Haunter collection, and I had no idea how big this thorn in my side would be until after I let one slip by.

And @Pkmnhawaii_collector if it’s cool to ask this of you, I only have one Korean Haunter (CP6). It’s not a super high priority for me so I won’t ask you to keep an eye out for literally every Haunter, but anything you may come across is helpful!

EDIT: I’ve included a list of all Korean Haunters I know of.

List of Korean Haunters
  • Base Set 1st Edition
  • Base Set Unlimited
  • Collapse of Time & Space
  • Blue Shock (XY8)
  • Noivern BREAK Half Deck
  • BREAK Starter Pack
  • BASE PACK 20th Anniversary (CP6) / reverse holo
  • Awakened Heroes (SM4S) / reverse holo
  • Double Blaze (SM10) / reverse holo
  • Sword (S1W)
  • Shiny Star V (S4A) / reverse holo
  • Jet-Black Spirit (S6K)
  • Dark Phantasma (S10A) / holo
  • VSTAR Universe (S12A) / reverse holo
  • Pokemon Card 151 (SV2A) / Poke Ball holo / Master Ball holo
  • Raging Surf (SV3A) / reverse holo
  • Wild Force (SV5K) / reverse holo
  • Gastly illustration rare from 151 (SV2A)

Hey

Ive been searching that Korean Caterpie base set for over 8 Years now and im almost 100% positive if doesn’t exist, due to ive checked the Psa Korean Unl Pop report and Caterpie has a pop report of 0

So maybe it’s very very very very very rare, i won’t quit searching for it, but im very doubtful that it exist,

If @Metapod_museum wants a list of every Metapod card in existing I’ve made a list for @Will who is also Collecting Metapods :slight_smile: so i have it ready for him

This is the s1

This should be the 20th but you should maybe message the seller because the picture isnt the right one, but the title is

i know could be documenting more here but i collect variants of all kinds from every language and every species, my goal is to own most or all cards printed differently then english and japanese. I follow along here but im way more active on instagram where i post quite often. If you’d like to keep up, I’d like to think i post the most about stuff like this. You can follow @rockets_rares for more if you would like. I post here aswell but not as often. I hope it helps!

This is more generic advice for new species collectors, so maybe it doesn’t apply for you.

First, I would suggest spending time putting together a master list for all languages. Then do a preliminary search of everything to get a feel for what’s rare. Put those on your priority list so you are keeping an eye out for them and not beating yourself up over missing one because it wasn’t on your radar. And then in the meantime, focus on one language at a time or some smaller goals as you get started. Seeing small goals accomplish will help you entrench yourself in the collection and make you more committed.

For those rare cards, do lots of networking. Post on Facebook groups for different countries where your missing cards would likely be found. Put out a finders fee if needed and be willing to help out other collectors as it may make it more likely that others will help you.

@eeveeteam getting me dangerously close to starting an all language binder. I will resist but it’s pretty cool.
