Jaws's Charizard collecting journey

Thanks! I’m trying to set my goal for PSA 8 or higher if I can, unless it’s something that’s almost unattainable like the Korean unlimited Charizard. I am putting French and German 1st edition at the bottom of the priority list because I can find those pretty easily.

Added some more cooked zards because why not. Also crossed off a bucket list item.

No rarity!

That top card has litterly been a pocket monster for some time.
Nice additions!

Haha I love that! It really has. Maybe that has been the subliminal draw this whole time…

Forgot to add this one.

Update: no rarity has been traded. I received an autographed unlimited copy but I want to move that to get other different Charizards.

I also finally got a French Unlimited copy of Shining Charizard and graded it.

You know I’m a fan of cooked Zards! Portuguese 1st edition was going to be extremely scarce and expensive to find in good shape, so when this absolutely trashed one came up for auction I had to have it.

One of the rarest base set charizards that has been saved from the garbage. Hopefully PSA will grade it

I have decided to list this on Fanatics auction #167

I am after the Korean Unlimited so some sacrifices have to be made!

It is. But Korean unlimited is the holy grail. Only 5 in existence

Only 5 graded or 5 copies to ever surface publicly?

Both. Korean Unlimited Base Set wasn’t released to the public officially as far as I know. The ones that are available were from a game designer. I can get another 1st ed shadowless again some other time.

In that case by all means go for the unlimited. Is all the Korean base like this or just the Charizard ?

All Korean Base unlimited. There were theme decks that were opened which also contain unlimited cards. There are no booster boxes that anyone is aware of and a handful of packs have been seen/owned.

Never saw a booster box even if the seller where I bought my unlimited card told me that the collector from who he bought this big collection (including a lot of Korean unlimited cards) opened a box many many years ago…who knows…

I just came across the Pikachu unlimited. Might have to scoop that then

My source is Graded Power, I have tried to have my WOTC friend post in the Facebook group for the WOTC alumni with no luck. It’s plausible to assume that there was product distributed internally but never released. The pieces that I’m after have been acquired from an employee.

Are you aware of how many existing copies of unlimited Charizard?
I think I’ve seen only a PSA 9 scan here from a very old post, maybe from you.

1st ed Charizard is gone temporarily while I try to get the Korean unlimited.
In the meantime, here’s some additions to the graded list.
