Hi people at E4. I have launched my own website PokeGuardian a while back. And I primarily cover PTCG news there. But I also try to cover stuff not many sites will cover.
I would like to share my interview with Sora from Japan, one of the biggest Lugia collectors out there!
I think this interview is very interesting read for alot of people, and may give you some insight into the collectors scene in Japan.
Sora is a good friend of mine and he agreed to do an interview in English with me.
Please enjoy it. He has an amazing collection, and at the end of the interview, you can see his online museum which covers more of his gigantic Lugia collection.
A great interview and a really cool collection! Great to get some light shined on collectors from Japan, I think we all sort of have our English bubble and forget the amazing things that Japanese collectors are doing.
Gotta be honest, I read very few articles all the way through, but I did with this one. Wish we had a few pictures that really showed the scale of the collection. Over 14k of one pokemon is massive
Such a great read. I’ve never thought of collecting this way, but it seems very meditative, personal, and meaningful. No worries about playing the market or getting the most presitigious cards, just collecting purely for the love of it. Thanks op!
Imagine being japanese and not using twitter. Only filthy westerners use instagram. Twitter is full of pure japanese collectors. None of these dirty western collectors who flip their collections.
Great article btw! I kinda want to make a Lugia list and send it to him to see if I’ve added any he didn’t knew about. If I understand the article correctly he has all existing Lugias and is now looking to complete some of them with huge amounts of copies, like the 1000 Japanese Neo Genesis goal?
