E4 Secret Santa 2024 [PICTURE THREAD]

Man what an amazing thread. Time to brag on @zards_r_us !

First off, a wonderful sketch of the Team Instinct logo. I may be a Mystic lifer, but when the Team Medallion came out in Pokemon Go I can’t say I didn’t consider switching to Spark’s team…

But what else was in the box? Well, that did not disappoint!

I couldn’t have asked for a better mix of cards. In spite of my membership in Team Mystic, Zapdos is still the best legendary and it’s great to add these 3 to my collection. I don’t have much from the Black & White sets- that holo pattern on the Legendary Treasures Zapdos is awesome!

And funny enough, this is my 3rd Team Rocket Dark Alakazam, but also the third distinct one. I first bought a holo 1st Edition a few years ago, then a regular holo not too long ago, and now I have the non-holo 1st Edition. I’m going backwards :joy: I’ll have to track down the regular non-holo now.

Eevee on the Ball is such a fun promo and my untrained eye couldn’t tell you why it’s a 7- looks pretty good to me! And zards took the only specific thing I mentioned and helped me complete Kanto in my WotC era Kanto/Johto binder. The modern Japanese cards are bangers too!

Finally- a whole box of Shiny Treasure ex! I haven’t opened much Japanese so I was excited to see what this box had to offer.

Mew, some Kanto shinies + Baxcalibur, and that reverse pattern is beautiful! First time I’m seeing it.

Thanks so much @zards_r_us , this was amazing!
