Glad it made it safely and in time for Christmas! Merry Christmas!
I’m glad you liked it! I tried to get plushies you might not have gotten already so I stayed away from the obvious ones or the ones I saw in your plushie picture. When I was drawing your picture I used my blue pencils so much they are like an inch shorter than all my other colors 
Happy Holidays!

I’m glad you liked it 
I think everyone should get the joy of opening their own Booster Box so I’m thrilled to see you enjoying it so much.
I just got home from family Christmas today to discover my Secret Santa gift waiting for me!
Thank you so much @petiparty! This has been a card I’ve definitely had my eye on for a while with the intent to pick up a copy eventually, and a couple of my favorite legendaries from any game! Merry Christmas to you and yours

Love this thread, wish I could have participate 
Had to wait till today to dive into gifts this year and saved the E4 secret Santa for last. It was well worth the wait.
Each individual item was lovingly wrapped❤️ I tore them open expeditiously to find these little goodies from the lovely @SeasidePokemon 
First up we had these two excellent Mint holos from a contender for my favorite English set, EX Legend Maker. Cradily and Aggron being some of my favorite mons as well 
As soon as I opened the Cradily card I thought to myself “I should check to see if pokemon center has any sitting cuties of this guy” but Seaside was one step ahead and included these two angels 
along with a Lost Origins blister. Planning on saving that for a rainy day #invest
The cherry on top was this: a really cute Pikachu signed by Seaside and a really awesome mega Sceptile illustration. Seriously impressed with that - he’s a hard one to draw 
Thanks for he thoughtful gifts my man, merry Christmas

Finally managed to hold off on opening my secret santa gift till Christmas. Thank you @nickofturl for the awesome gift and great drawing! Blastoise was my favourite Pokemon growing up so it holds a special place in me since childhood. Was the first holo I pulled from a base set pack back then 
Jumping into Japanese this year for the first time, I instantly fell in love with the VS set. Can’t tell you how much I love this card
Thank you so much again @nickofturl for the great gift. I hope you and your family have a happy holiday and a great new year! All the best to you and your collection goals next year!

I’m glad to see that everything arrived before Christmas! I was a bit nervous you wouldn’t receive until Tuesday given I mailed a bit late! SO GLAD you liked everything I sent you and that you didn’t actually have that Delta Species Pikachu because I know you mentioned you had majority of those already! Hope you have some good luck with pulls from Booster Packs!
Merry Christmas!

Thank you for the wonderful secret santa gift, you went above and beyond! It was truly an amazing experience opening and going through everything!
Photo Dump:
Everything was extremely thoughtful! All the japanese singles will find a home in my binder, as those are the next sets on my list!
I havent opened either Pokemon Go or the Trick or Treat set - so that was a lot fun. Pulled out some of my favorite arts and the hits to show. Pokemon Go really suprised me, I really enjoyed all the Gen 1 starter arts.
& Squirtle has already found a new home which was swiftly claimed by my better half.
Again thank you & Merry Christmas.

Glad you enjoyed everything! It was a blast putting together! Did one of the ornaments break? 
If so I might owe you another! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The art on that binder is wall worthy! Is this going to be a display piece, or are you going to use the binder?

Thank you so much @cooltrainertony 
I went to the store to get a frame for the picture you drew me so that it stays in Perfect 10 condition 
It will soon go in my shelves among the Oddish collection and be forever cherished 
Along with the drawing is an adorable holo Growlithe with a huge swirl right next to the left of Growlithe’s head, a Dragonite with Tony’s signature and illustration, a “No Symbol” PSA 8 Vileplume, and a texture shift Mewtwo EX 
This is actually the first No Symbol card in my collection!
Apparently the shifted Mewtwo EX is courtesy of @qwachansey
I believe this is my second ever texture shift and funny enough my first texture shift is a Dragonite
This one will definitely be included in my next submission to CGC!
Happy holidays and happy collecting!

Im very glad you enjoyed the gift! I really wanted to get you some oddish things however it was hard narrowing down what you had and didnt so i leaned more into errors!

Honestly I have so many Oddish things that I don’t even know what I have The errors fit perfectly into my collection and the great thing about errors is that you can always get more and they aren’t usually duplicates in the same way that other cards are

Big thank you to @Troy who totally surpassed all expectations for this secret santa!
The mixture of vintage and modern/foreign language Typhlosions is awesome.
I did not have the fan magazine promo graded yet which is huge.
And yes, I do collect other cards 
. I recently began a Noivern (my favorite “modern” Pokemon) collection, so what a great add to it.
