This is probably a stupid question, but what does Unlimited mean? I’ve heard it before but I don’t know what it means. I know it’s a format for the game, but I’ve heard it used for describing cards too.
It just means that something is not 1st edition

@zorloth,
Oh, ok. I thought it was a term for something that isn’t special, like not foil, not first edition, just a regular card. Is there a term for something like that?
“Not foils” are usually just called non-holos. For a card that’s not foil and not 1st Ed., people would just call it an unlimited non-holo.
Two more questions for you guys:
-
Which of the original Pokémon Topps cards have Slowpoke as its Who’s That Pokémon? I have Onix (Slowbro), but I can’t find which on has Slowpoke.
-
Do you guys consider Spirit Links as cameos or as regular cards? I’m reorganizing my binder and it has different sections, one of them for cameos, but I can’t decide if I should put Slowbro Spirit link in with cameos or just treat it as a Slowbro card.

I am not sure as I don’t collect Topps but maybe this resource will help bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Topps
-
Cameo imo
PS: you can get German M Slowbros here www.cardmarket.com/en/Pokemon/Products/Singles/Evolutions/MSlowbro-EX-EVO27
@way2slowbro ,
Thank you for the link for the German Mega Slowbros! I had the opportunity to trade a guy for one once but I was stupid and thought “I don’t need a German one, I have an English one!” Not a day goes by that I don’t regret that.

Are you collecting in all languages then?
@kingboo64 ,
I just want any Slows I can find! I just like Slowpoke! I’m not that picky about it, but pretty much anything Slowpoke related I like. The reason I’m so mad about not getting the German one because it would be cool to have it.

It’s just refreshing to see a person joining the hobby for non-monetary reasons quite frankly. Good luck with your collection. Shiny Slowbro is one of my favorite shinies!

@achromatic27,
yeah, I don’t care about value, Slowpoke’s my favorite Pokémon and I like to open up my binder and have a lot of derps staring blankly back at me! (and I like other people’s reactions, they think I’m insane)

Slowpoke is an awesome pokemon to have a collection of haha. Would love to see a binder with one of each art or something.

When one binder isn’t enough for your Slowpoke obsession. 
I always get nostalgic feelings from this card. I once had a Legendary Collections pack that I bought at a secondhand market, which apparently was an error pack since it contained this Slowpoke artwork twice. That, combined with the LC Reverse Foil card and the fact I bought it at a secondhand market store, made me believe they were all fake for the longest time.
I also like the name of it’s first attack: Spacing out. Very fitting.
Oh, and fun fact: it looks pretty wacky when it’s ‘slightly’ sun-discolored. 
Greetz,

I have nostalgic connection to this card too, always liked it and the basic art style. Pre-Covid, at my LGS people just used to give me random Slowpokes hence the binders. This is my favorite artwork but the binders have many, mostly Sumo onwards.
