Okay . Thank you. I really like those. They may have started out as my second main goal but they are becoming my favorite.
They’ll probably get there for me eventually. I’m too busy collecting every Charizard & ultra rare Charmander/Charmeleon in PSA 10 right now though
I wish you luck on those grades. I’ve been lucky to have gotten almost 2 dozen charizards graded a 10. I got all the ones I needed but sold the Crystal Guardians and Power Keepers holo ones. I am regrading my 9s so Hopefully I get a 10 again.
Best of luck to you too! I have had around 25-30 Charizards get 10s from my ungraded collection, so hopefully that luck continues
A guy on one the forums I visit was selling his prerelease judge’s box. It only cost me 82.50 shipped so I couldn’t pass it up. After the pulls I got I am even more reassured it was a good decision. The 2 cards in the Card Saver 1s appear absolutely perfect. Especially the Gengar!
Thoughts on how the set is overall in terms of quality of the cards?
The centering is very good on all the full arts. Then again the trainers were always better than the others. There wasn’t much corner wear. The only thing wrong with Lysandre was a white spec of edge wear on the top of the back. Other than that it would have been perfect. I’ll update you more on quality of the cards after I’ve opened up 10 cases. The seller I help open, sleeve and sort ordered 7 cases and I’m planning to get 3 cases.
Yeah awesome, thanks if you can come back with more info.
I have stepped away from new English releases specifically because I was sick of the poor quality. If it’s better for this set I might buy some Phantom Force products.
I can definitely do that. Hey sorry about never buying that Pikachu GS. I have one that I know should be a 10 and I’m regrading it again. BTW are you interested in a english Venusaur FA PSA 10? I can get one for a trade of another english one.
I picked these up from kools recent auction. I was half and half on selling/keeping them after grading. Now that I’ve got them in hand it’s more like 90/10 with the 90% being in my collection.
Damn you Japanese cards for being so beautiful. I was thinking of expanding my Japanese collection to include the JR ralley and T promos. I always really liked the designs. I feel like the artwork on the VS series, Rally and T promos fit well together in a set.
Very understandable that they found a home in your collection:)
So it’s you who won that…
I threw up a 205 bid at the last minute.
Did you bid on it?
I did. The end of the auction was at a terrible time for me so I threw up a bid and hoped for the best.
Consolation is it went to someone here.
did you get that charizard papercraft in package?? I got a jolteon in mine from kool
I did get the charizard from kool. I now have a pikachu and a charizard. Best 200 dollars I’ve ever spent.
Here are some pictures of some of the cards I will be sending to PSA in the next month. I managed to get find some new people to help me scout there countries and local areas for card shops and collectors. I managed to trade for some packs. I’ve got quite a few more cards coming and I’ll add pictures.
I’ve got 20-25 pack pulled gold stars on the way and lots of ex packs. Hopefully after this submission I’ll be very close to done with my main collection goal.
I opened my Expedition box to help a friend with his Expedition PSA 10 goal and it was a damaged box. I managed to get some more packs in addition to the box. All except for the charizard are pack pulled.
These are all the Reverse Holo Rares and some of the Non Holo Rares from the packs. I’m really hoping I get all 3 Tyranitars (Holo, Rev and Non Holo) in PSA 10.
I opened my Aquapolis box with the expedition. Those are the only 2 boxes I can justify opening because I can break even or make a small profit. I just felt like opening them and that’s the logic I used to justify it for my self. I was very happy with the pulls. I also bough some packs from Elam while I didn’t pull a crystal I did get some great Holos.
All The Skyridge Rev Holos were from a Master set I purchased months back. This master set was in pristine condition so I hope the holos and crystals come back. The rev holos are going in this submission because I forgot them in the last.
