Welcome @carrot all the best on your collection journey. It is an amazing hobby that can bring about a lot of emotion and it seems pulling those two charizards was a calling for you to come back.
Don’t know where carrot got his box, but I got mine from this dude here
It’s from Poland but seller is reliable enough, and price is a LOT cheaper than any of the US based sellers I found even with shipping.
Nice start to your collection. I’m glad you are back collecting. I myself only started collecting 4 years ago and have been hooked since. I get a couple of items each month to add to my collection. I’ve also gotten the Pikachu Easter card set. The artwork on the Pikachu is pretty.
I sold a few at $88 shipped recently. Here in Japan people are trying to get $90 on Yahoo for them. I am sure you can list for 88 pounds in the UK. Since no worry about customs. I think much over $100 might be hard, the 15th and the Gyrados/Majikarp box sets are both available lower than their peaks, maybe 15th is going back up as I am a bit out of date on it’s pricing, but I know it fell for at least a year.
They really have increased in price, which is the reason I picked them up as soon as I could ha. I was just curious, I have no intention of selling It is nice to know I bought at the right time, and they are a great addition to my collection.
Thank you for your input I appreciate it. I do still need 2 of the cosplay pika boxes still…I was a bit late to the party when I got into Japanese cards last year. I had made a deal on a second hand site for one of them £50 for the gyara box…but that fell through after payment when his baby son opened it while it was out >.< I already had the promos so didnt want to buy it unsealed.
Are these cards, cards you are currently owning, or ones you receive on the daily? If you are receiving them your mailman must be getting tired.
Do you have a multi-layer system for how you show your cards? Great looking cards from multiple sets, and languages, my mind would be spinning trying to sort all of them.
While i think its great that you are adding to what looks like a plentiful collection, tbh i think it a little overkill to be posting a handful of stuff on an almost daily basis and especially when i see exactly the same post over on reddit, it sort of make it a little monotonous.
I would rather see something on a grander scale less frequently for a specific collection.
Just being honest and its my personal opinion is all as it looks like your trying to get discussion going about little content. If not thats fine, each to their own and your not breaking any rules I know of so have at it i suppose…
Ahh, love the shiny pokemon from Steam siege. Those duel types, the bisharp and shifty come in cosmos holo variants if your wandering. Also the volcarona’s come in 1st-4th league promos.
Thats awesome, me too. I migrate towards the lesser appreciated sets and cards also, and its fun to hunt for certain cards at good prices or that trade for a single card needed years later. Your last post just indicated you were looking for a conversation is all. No harm done
