Bing Bong’s Collection thread

Congratulations on getting the card with the other accessories. One of the best Dragonite cards in my personal opinion. I think, based on some pictures of the sealed card, it looks like the original packing. I have never held or seen a sealed card in person myself, but it is very safe to assume that this is the original cellophane packing.

Cheers!

You’re a wizard mate, it’s much appreciated.

I really can’t help myself when it comes to this card. Will likely stop once I hit double digits.

Need to work out how to display them better, which I’ll likely do over the weekend. In person the rainbow glitter holo is truly breathtaking!

These are amazing! Do you plan on collecting the EX Team Rocket Returns versions of this card? I personally love the reverse holo.

At the moment getting specific vintage English is pretty tricky but possibly once we move. Would be cool to have the Japanese 1st and UL as well as the English reverse and holo.

I didn’t realise the non 1st ed 014 card had the glitter holo! Nice collection :slight_smile:

Obviously when you enter the hobby it doesn’t take very long to hear about the Corocoro Shining Mew and it’s been a card I’d like to own for at least a few months. My interest was really peaked when @Slade shared a video with me of his copy (I believe) and the sparkle on it was just on another level.

I’ve tried to get a PSA 10 copy but it feels correctly priced/slightly over priced here and with the way the market is I’m willing to wait for sellers to get a little more desperate.

Something about cards with high pops is unappealing to me, probably largely due to ego but I also want to curate a collection that isn’t easily repeatable, so the PSA 9 with a pop of 2500 isn’t really something I desire, which is why this purchase makes sense to me. People obviously have differing opinions on OC cards and how desirable they are but I am mostly indifferent. Not something I’m drawn to but also not something I dislike. The fact the pop of this being 81 falls more inline with my collection goals.

It’s really hard to capture just how sparkly this card is on a phone camera but in hand it’s remarkable.

It takes its place on a currently quite barren, but slowly expanding ‘Mew Corner’ of my display.

Played around with my wife’s camera and semi studio she uses for work. Really just posting for reference of improvement with photography as a lot of it is needed :man_facepalming:

That Dragonite really pops especially with the cosmos foil, exquisite taste sir :ok_hand: :face_with_monocle:

Also picked this guy up and the artwork is absolutely stunning! Instantly became my second favourite Umbreon of all time.

Picked this up as I love the pack art for both sets and haven’t given my daughter anything to open for a few weeks. One pack of each set will be displayed (need to work out the best/safest way) and the other 4 packs are for bub to destroy.

Nice bonus that my first jumbo card is one that can be displayed (also need to find the best way) with my other Mews.

My daughter’s pulls. Really cool that she got a rainbow from 4 packs. She literally said ‘woooow’ and looked shocked. Will begin a binder of all her pulls.
