Masters Guide for Pokemon WOTC Corrected Errors & Test cards

Masters Guide for Pokemon WOTC Corrected Errors & Test cards While talking with a good friend and local game store owner, he mentioned that there’s too much to keep up with when it comes to Pokemon errors, and that if there was a reference he could use to find out what errors exist and which ones to consider valuable, it would be very helpful. With so many new errors identified in the past five years, and no reliable source for error card info, I saw the need to compile a complete list of erro…

Sets and Languages: Compilation overview list

Hi all, Since I ask myself this question many times when I start collecting a new Pokémon, I figured I just make a compilation list for every collector out there whom are after all languages like myself. This thread will only focus on all the sets (so no special releases of individual cards, nor promo cards) including all the languages and variations (1st/UED, Holo/non-Holo/Reverse Holo, copyright dates, EX codes, etc.) that are available consequentially in the set. At the end of each set, I al…

The Giant Pokémon non-TCG Identification Thread

Although I primarily make this because I had a few questions myself, I figured I’d make one general thread. The purpose of this thread is to post anything and everything about non-TCG cards and stickers that might help identify their producer and perhaps other information you’d want to know. I will also include cards I already know the producers and information about for completeness sake, and to perhaps help others who come across this thread in the future. I will add useful links where appl…

Japanese Exclusive Promo Gallery - Numbered

Warning: Image Heavy This is a compilation of all the Japanese exclusive promos which hopefully will serve as a checklist or guide to anyone who wants to know / collect the exclusivity with Japanese promos. This gallery will feature the Numbered promos only. Will create another list for all Unnumbered promos. Notes This gallery looks at Japanese promos which are exclusive in comparison to English releases. My knowledge is not good with other language releases. So please let me know if this…

Guide to Early Pokemon TCG History - 1995 Test Card Versions

In this thread I will showcase the early history of Pokemon cards and their release in Japan. There is also an in depth look at the different variations of the Pokemon Booster Packs and the Starter Decks as they relate to the first release of the No Rarity cards. This will be an expanded and more in depth article that stems from my previous thread I started in 2017. For best viewing of sources I would recommend Google Chrome so you can auto-translate pages.

Nintendo Hanafuda Pokemon Cards

Came across some Nintendo Hanafuda Pokemon cards on eBay that I knew little about, so I decided to research and compile some information here. I’d be curious to poll the audience and see what collective knowledge you all may have! After searching the forums, I see less than 10 posts that even mention the word ‘Hanafuda’. I’m not sure if these were just a small release that no one seems to know/care about or if they are so ubiquitous they are as valuable as grains of sand. But the prices on eBay …

An elaborate attempt at print run estimation. (WIP) 5-8-18

Elaborating further on what I teased in this post. This is a WIP (work in progress) as I plan to work on it further and refine it hopefully with further community input and more factual sources. By the end my goal is to come up with an actual estimated number for each set released from base set through Sun and Moon and further show the implications of how many chase cards that may result in for each given set. I will try to clearly call out all facts as such and all opinions/assumptions as suc…
