That quote have been printed into my brain for a long time already haha. Seen all the videos and I learn new things every day. This is just a “spin-off” from my WOTC-collection that I think it will be fun to see evolve. And thank you for the advice! ---

Been really inactive lately because of my recent engagement and this last month of school. But today I stumbled upon these at the local hobbyshop. Thought they would be cool to have and they will be a part of a “loot crate” I am creating for the future. Stuffing a box with these, some Shining legends boosters, sleeves, toploaders, a binder, some oldschool cards and 2 PSA 10 cards from base set. Also adding a note for the future me or my kid. Plan to seal it up today and forget it until one day it will be opened up as a vintage mystery box lol. What would you put in a box like this? Let me know! Sealing it tonight or tomorrow 💪 Keep flexin’ FlexingMachoke ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180519/254a4273c109decf48d0fa54e6e71540.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180519/2d7ab31a39afa4f9973140b35f64759b.jpg) ---

It has been a while since I received anything special, but this was an awesome mailday! I remember seeing pictures of these gold cards when I was a kid and they looked so cool. Had to get my hands on them so I finally bought them all 🕶 Sealed and safe. Will enjoy these old boxes before I box them up 😊 Also bought some cards from auctions that I need for mye WOTC collection. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180808/90b6a177a5f698643876ea543f0c1a02.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180808/5516e084116546c7fdbb3f35095967ab.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180808/3acfbc80f79634ac8a6572a825469d2b.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180808/40ab744fa33b1940ede4f8ed32ac2797.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180808/d1de9d546f561f039cc5acf49bba3de3.jpg) ---

Promised to upload some pics of my recently bought collection but it takes ages now that school is back up. But here is a little preview! 🕶 I will try to update this thread more often for those who follow it as I still need my Pokémon-therapy even thoa school is first priority. Enjoy these shiny cards! Bought a collection yesterday too (my birthday gift to me) and hopefully it will be here before the weekend. It has some serious gems in it! Stay tuned!

The rest of the collection i bought. Managed to go through the rest today. These are definitely nice cards, but the condition isn’t top notch. Still love the artwork in these two sets. Found a bunch of older WOTC cards too but the older they were, the worse shape they were in. Glad the gems were as well taken care of as they were 😍 Hope you like the cards and have a great weekend!

Spotted this badboy in a collection. Had to grab it even tho it isn’t mint. You can never go wrong with a Zard. ESPECIALLY NOT A 4th PRINT ZARD ❤💪 ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180827/4ffa490bf65706ad8096b02af8b868cb.jpg) ---

Even though it is not mint, it looks great in the front and 4th print makes it even better 😊 Great addition! ---

Another step towards my Shadowless PSA 8+ Goal! With this Champ and Stoise, I continue my hunt for Chansey, Zard, Gyarados, Hitmonchan, Mewtwo, Ninetales and Raichu 😊 Halfway there 💪 These cards look great and really deserved to be graded and taken care of for at least 4.6 billion years. (Unlimited Stoise’s case was cracked. What should I do?)
