deltazero's Collection

Collecting
41

I recently graduated from grad school! I decided to treat myself to one of the best Mew cards currently available!
My most prized card in my collection so far.

Now I just need to get Championship Arena Mew and Victory Orb Mew (When I can save up enough money and if the opportunity arises!)

Wow thatā€™s a stunning Mew!! Iā€™ve never seen it before. Is it Japanese exclusive? Also congratulations for your graduation :slight_smile:

Thank you! Yes, the Mew is a Japanese exclusive. @smpratte has a really nice YouTube video going over the history of the card! I recommend you give it a watch. It is really interesting. :blush:

I actually did just watch that one and most of his. Idk why but I get excited learning more and more about the hobby and having little conversations on here and what not. Iā€™m definitely extremely engaged and passionate in the hobby right now :slight_smile:

I enjoy watching videos and interacting on E4. Iā€™ve been feeling that way for about a year now. I also think people are getting more engaged with Pokemon right now due to the quarantine.

Hereā€™s a quick update with a new card in my collection:

Fan Club Porygon Promo

I am still waiting on my first PSA returns results. I also sent in a few more cards to get graded, so hopefully I will get my first submission back before my second one returns.

That makes sense! We have a lot of Japanese card collectors in this forum. Also, there are so many Japanese cards with exclusive artwork.

Thanks! That mew is perhaps my all-time favorite mew artwork.

Yes! The porygon opportunity presented itself and took advantage of the opportunity. Not sure how it will grade, but I am happy to simply own it.

Thanks! I think it might be one of the less popular Fan Club cards. Probably doesnā€™t have as much attention as the Fan Club Eevee or Shining Magikarp.

Yeah the exclusive artwork is really where itā€™s at, didnā€™t appreciate it at first because it didnā€™t hit me like the nostalgic first few english sets.

That is understandable. I really like exclusive Japanese cards/products because I feel like I am experiencing what it must have been like to collect Pokemon as a kid in Japan in the 90s.

@deltazero I come to think the market follows our recent purchases haha but I know thatā€™s not the case. Nothing wrong with giving people some buying ideas :blush: but its still going to be awhile before I get into Japanese exclusives and promos. Still catching up on other sets for now :slight_smile:
