CircleHunter's Haunter Collection (Update: The pile doesn't stop from getting bigger)

[circlehunter]

It’s occurred to me that I never posted photos of the non-TCG stuff I’ve gathered so far. So I’m gonna do that now.

First of all, the assortment of game pieces, pins, pretty much anything not strictly made of paper that can fit into the second binder (more on that in a moment).

While I do know what most of these items are (Master Trainer tokens, Artbox lenticular pieces, Meiji battle coin, Battrio and Ga-Ole tiles), I haven’t taken care to identify the two Korean pieces on the right. There’s also a few unofficial pins I’ve picked up along the bottom.

Next up, my plushes:

There’s only two so far, but I plan to change that soon. I particularly love the little one that sits inside the Dusk Ball.

Next, some paper:

Everything here is kept inside of photo pages in a second binder. I haven’t taken care to identify most of the items here and wasn’t the best at keeping track of non-TCG when these were acquired seven or so years ago, so really all I can pinpoint are Artbox on page 1 and the Merlin on page 3.

That’s all I have for now. Thank you for–

Wait.

THAT’S A NEW FRONT PAGE FOR MY SPREADSHEET!

OK, some background. I’d already been working on a nice-looking landing page for anyone who visits the spreadsheet, just to explain what’s what. During my time this past week lurking and observing some of the wonderful species collectors’ threads, I was struck by inspiration when I got to @eeveeteam’s and saw the collection tracker. It was such a cool feature that it simultaneously inspired me to update my long-dead All Languages sheet and to steal adapt the tracker to my own spreadsheet.

All this is to say, thank you for the continued inspiration. Seeing all of the species collectors grow closer to their goals has made me want that for myself again. In particular, thank you to the slime army, team of Eevees, herd of Piplup, rapidly-growing sea of Starmie and Dragalge, unreasonably large gathering of Pikachu and Seviper, and that extremely nice Umbreon room. Because of how your collections make me feel, perhaps I’ll begin the All Languages journey soon, now that I’ve achieved 112/113 in my main collection.

Thanks for the mention. But all credit for the collection tracker goes to @citriina for writing the formulas and formatting and then @holahart for making it specific to Eevee.

Sweet update. I don’t collect much non tcg but i always appreciate seeing very niche items. Good luck getting those last japanese cards

Awesome to see you take a dive in non tcg too and i’m glad if my slime army has been able to inspire you, it’s fun how communal species collecting can be and how even quite different kinds of species collections can light our own fires too on a whole new level

Just adding some of the non tcg ones for you to identify, the korean ones are ddakji tiles and i absolutely adore them, great that they have found their way in your collection! On paper photo 1 the sticker below the artbox sticker is iirc from amada hyper sticker collection 2, and in photo 2 both the yellow and orange sticker are sandylion stickers. The orange one looks to be cut out of the same sheet that has muk on it too, and the yellow one looks like it has clean edges so it should be from a booster and not a perforated one from a sheet
