Figured I would finally get around to posting my collection and that I would start off with the prides of my collection. I’ve purchased all these within the last three years.
Always collected cards since I was a kid and pokemon released.
I however never had great luck on my childhood pulls, money was tight and after hearing Don’t you have enough of those? And Not this time you stop asking as much.
Got back into a bit more during Black White and XY then life went to hell with family illnesses and disasters and I completely fell out of collecting until end of 2021-2022 and it was just me getting back into it I had no clue it had blown up during COVID.
My dream is to get all Vulpix, Ninetales, Growlithe, Arcanine and Absol cards.
Pretty sure it’s never gonna happen cause I just can’t afford most of em. Absol is the only one I can see being possible right now.
Anyway later on I’ll post more of my collection later when I can take more pics. I am also only 15 cards away from my CZ masterset. Will get pics of my 151 masterset and my slow slow slog towards a base-gym mastersets and my one piece cards too.
Anyway here are the fist pics of my collection, these are also the one I have considered sending in for grading more as preservation protection then anything else as these are not cards I would consider ever selling.
The ereader ninetales was such a fantastic find. Went back to the card shop twice before I broke down and got it. Had been saving a $30 off coupon from the card shop so was able to get it for only $60. This was of course before the fomo grabbed the hobby by the throat again.
My all time fave old Absol card. Was so happy when I picked this one up too.
I included my most recent One Piece cards. The SP Ace card is the crowning jewel in my collection now. That card is absolutely One Piece card quality is out of this world.
Hopefully I’ll be able to add more in the next few days.
Watches and reward one piece since it’s release. Ace and Marco are my fave characters followed by Shanks, Law and Zoro.
I’ll have to post the rest of the one piece later very small collection but hard fought. One piece is hard to get my hands on in my area.
There really are. My chase Arcanine card is the aquapolis Arcanine…which given its current price will be a never gonna happen unfortunately. I might have to switch to JP for that one like I did for Heckin Wimby.
Rosi is great, choppers cute but he never made it to my list like Ace, Marco and Shanks.
I really want to get my hands on the Rosi, Shanks and Rayleigh SP cards. Those card are so great looking.
Lovely collection showcase. Your picks are amazing. My favourite from the lot is easily the Arcanine. I also love your OP pickups, I love the anime but do not know much about the cards. Your pickups looks wonderful. Looking forward to seeing more of your additions and thanks a lot for sharing them.
So figured I would add some more of the collection.
I’ll round off my One Piece Collection to start.
Ace, Marco, Shanks, Law and Zoro are my faves. Trying to get my hands on anything from them but for now am prioritizing Ace, Marco, and then Shanks…
After that I figured I would drop the meager start to my fire doggos fire foxes and Absol.
I have a small collection of the fire horses too. Nothing is really in order and looks disorganized as hell cause I ran outta room and need to pick up another binder just for them.
I always try and remember which I have picked up and which I have pulled. Gets a harder with bulk then with the holos. I do remember pulling the legendary treasures Growlithe rev Holo and thinking is was the cutest thing ever.
Finally since it’s in the same binder I figured ied show off my CZ GG cards. Cause this was a absolute trip to complete but is so so so gorgeous.
I am only 15 cards away from the main CZ set and a complete master set.
I also totally disregarded the order of the GG cards cause I didn’t like how they looked. Still not 100% happy with my order so might post that separately to get others thoughts.
So that’s a little bit more of the collection added.
So figured I would give this another update, and since I already have the photos on my phone might as well add them.
Here’s some more of my modern pages I call Glorious Pages to Stare at lol.
Here my water page I have been slowly working on. I was had a stroke of luck by Arceus and pulled the Milotic from my first SS pack I grabbed at Meijer, only pack they had left lol.
This is my dark/city theme page.
Absol is my crown jewel on that page and I want to add the Noivern, the 151 Mewtwo promo and the Jolteon city scene. Not sure which other ones aside from those three.
The Tauros fits color wise not theme wise.
This page is just a mishmash of stuff that doesn’t fit anywhere. The bottom 4 I think will be another theme of just really epic gorgeous looking cards. The Cresselia from SF will replace the Darkrai I think.
This was my most recent completed page and it’s so pretty to look at. Happy calm scenes. I think the Zard promo is gonna be replaced cause it doesn’t quite fit.
lol maybe a page specifically for pokemon lounging on branches or branch-like structures (lamps etc), that seems to be a theme!! phanpy though such a cute card
So added these adorable cards to my collection via a wonderful trade. Got to help someone with their Paldean Fates masterset and im two cards closer to my CZ masterset.
Down to 5 now i can hardly believe it.
We will ignore the fact that the thought of a DR masterset devoured my brain and ive now gone to that level of dumb.
Any way adding these 3 in has totally thrown off my Gorgeous Pages To Stare At as im unsure where to put them.
Feel like Spheal needs go be with ghe Dewgong so that leaves a new blank space jn my water page.
I could possibly move the Zard and the Croc to make room for Phanpy and puppy that could work … Choices choices. Dump your thoughts i regularly drive my friends mad asking for binder opinions and rearranging.
The binder pages in question are in the above post. Dont see a reason to post em again unless i make changes lol.
So i had a random thought today remembering a tiny Gyarados stuffed toy i had as a kid.
So i went looking. Did not find it in the bin filled with Beanie Babies, did not find it in the random shoe boxes on a shelf in the basement but did find all these.
Now that i have found them again i do remember them but not how i came by them. And yes the two random Pokemon cards and the mutilated yugioh card were there as well.
I think these were regulated to this old box cause i dont think I liked any of those mons (dont know why the dewgong and metal lugia coins were there).
This is after i already found this stuff in the bottom of a tin i stored bulk and energy cards in.
