First time seeing this thread and can only agree with previous users: Such a nice and vibrant collection, and also great inspiration because I had never seen some of these cards and now I crave them haha. Keep up the great work!
A really small update. I recently got the Galarian Moltres alt art. It’s definitely in my top 5 alt arts!
this is a masterpiece in everything: colors, composition, just the overall look of the card it’s astonishing. If this was a Charizard, well… good luck on getting one for less than 1k
Agreed! The artwork on this card is amazing. I’m happy that it isn’t a zard tbh. Because of that, I get to have this excellent artwork for a reasonable price.
@celebi Really enjoyed looking through this! I’ve been looking through collection threads and I find that your title kind of describes my situation as well. I have a few sets I am specifically trying to finish but a lot of my cards are just “oh wow, that artwork is awesome” followed by an impulse buy
Thanks! Yeah, I never had any specific collection goals. So, my collection consists mostly of promos/alt arts/cards from sets that I purchase directly since they artwork that I like. Other cards are ones I pull since I enjoy opening packs.
I really love the direction that the TCG era has taken ever since the Sun/Moon era when they were introducing those alt art tag teams. I can’t wait to collect the new Scarlet/Violet art.
Your collection is so fun and I really like some of the more obscure cards you have picked up. I definitely understand collecting the cards with Art you really like. A lot of my collection is like that too.
Awesome collection, thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I really love promos, especially obscure promos since they often have the best artwork or distribution history. Though, the artwork from the new sets have been competing for my attention.
No new cards. Just some of my old raw cards finally put in slabs. I’m especially pleased with the Gem Mint Ho-Oh
Not too shabby of PSA return if I may say so.
I forgot to add my most recent PSA return to my thread. I believe that this was the first Japanese card that I ever purchased. I was able to purchase it (and many more) from Pokemoncfj and am happy to see that it received the 10.
Also, my only non-holo pull from a Paldea Evolved ETB.
