Hi everyone! I’ve been meaning to make a post here of my collection for a while… today is the day! I collect Glaceon!
My rules (as I have been told by @slowqueen ) are a bit unorthodox, but I like them and it saves me money instead of doing all languages
English master set
Japanese master set, including 1ED and UED
All language-exclusive promo cards
Language-exclusive deck cards, determined by release date
Due to the fact that preconstructed decks tend to be identical if printed in more than one language, I just pick the earliest printed card and count only that one.
Example: SCC was released in T.Chinese, Thai, and Indonesian, and T.Chinese was first, so my collection scope only includes T.Chinese.
Language-exclusive prints
Example: Spiral Force 012/051 in Japanese features the horizontal “crosshatch” holofoil, while Thunder Knuckle 012/051 in Korean is a cosmos holofoil. Both cards are included.
Exception is if the “set symbol” is different, but card and set number the same. I don’t consider BKR (JPN) and BGR (KR) 006/018 to be different prints.
S.Chinese “catch-up set” cards with different set symbols/titles and different set numbers do count, though.
Cameos in English and Japanese only
If you’re confused, I don’t blame you. At some point I’m gonna just say eff it and go all languages. But having funny rules is fun for now And now, the binder!
In addition to the master set, I also like to collect signed cards and things from people and friends who have helped me add to the collection along the way!
I’ve already met so many wonderful friends on my Glaceon journey, and I’m so so excited to meet more!! Please feel free to give me any suggestions (or show me another unfindable Glaceon that I don’t know about… I love those… heh… heh…) in a comment. Oh! And give me suggestions for filler cards for the few blank slots. I may just do two more unique/interesting water energies for them, but I welcome any other ideas!
I will update this thread with all of my new pickups along the way! Thanks for reading!
I appreciate it!! And yes I love the binder. It’s the Simplified Chinese gift box binder. I actually stumbled across a Reddit post of someone with the Umbreon one, and it is what inspired me to even start this collection to begin with!
Thanks! Yes I’m aware of them, I just forgot to make labeled cards for my binder. I also have the poncho SM-P promo in my spreadsheet (but not prioritizing it since they are really expensive now…)
I’ll also be getting the Korean Dawn Stadium, since Mystical Seven has a different set number (40/40 instead of 79/100, or none like the Japanese copy)
Also, I’d like to add that I used your E4 post as major help while making my lists back before I had an account here. Your binders are incredible!!
Great collection thread! I really like how your binders are laid out. Looking forward to them being filled and your thread being updated as the time goes. The best part also is your signed cards section and the friends you have made along the way. I think that is truly the essence of collecting as a community. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to all the updates!
Happy New Year E4! Been a bit lazy with updating this thread, so time to play catch up!
First, I got my trade from YouTuber Ian with Ian, who pulled this Glaceon VMAX out of his Jolteon Gift Box in the first part of his Every Jolteon Ever Printed series! I’m a sucker for cards with cool stories, so this was a great addition to the binder!
I also finally received my part of the group order from Korea from @jp1004 with the domestic shipping assistance of @queendrifloon , thanks to both of you guys!
The left card is the Majestic Dawn equivalent “Mystical Seven” Dawn Stadium cameo. The Sun and Moon promo was from the S&M Promo Pack 10 in Korea, which were single-card packs that I believe were given out at local league challenges (though I’m not 100% certain). For whatever reason, it was quite difficult to track down a copy, but a collector that JP found had a couple!
And finally, my personal grail, the Korean League 1000 BP Prize card promo. I LITERALLY cannot believe that I own this card!! It is likely one of, if not the rarest Glaceon card ever printed. You can read my write-up about it in the separate post I made when I got it. Recently I’ve just been looking at it and smiling. I can’t thank @jp1004 enough for helping me get this card.
Great additions!
I’m a big fan of the confetti holo used on McDonalds holos. I knew 2013 was skipped in English but never thought about it existing in other languages, might need to look into picking up that set.
Also the Korean League card is super interesting. After reading your write-up about it I can see why it would be so rare. Congratulations on finding a copy!
I’m happy to provide a read-only link to my spreadsheet for your reference, but be aware that only English and Japanese are full master sets. The other languages follow my previously mentioned “unorthodox” rule system. Just let me know
And now, the binder!
