Jaws's Korean collecting journey

[jaws]

I wasn’t sure if I should start a multi language collection thread, but I decided that I am invested in Korean particularly enough that it warrants its own thread. I got lucky and picked up a good chunk of the holos at an auction, found the booster packs already graded and I have a lead on an empty 1st edition box for display. I would like to complete the 1st edition holo set in PSA and then focus on the hardest goal of all… The unlimited Charizard.

I still need Alakazam, Blastoise, Mewtwo and Venusaur and the 1st edition Blastoise art booster pack.

Picked up another Korean 1st ed charizard, BGS 8.5. That being said, the BGS 8 is for sale.

The king of all Digletts! Korean Unlimited PSA 10. Pop 1 of 1!

AMAZING i HAVE THE DIGLETT in psa 9 myself.

[jaws]

I shipped the BGS 8 back to myself to see it in person. A swirl was a nice surprise.

[jaws]

BGS 8 Korean Zard is sold, but I still have my 8.5

Update on what I have so far.

Great update!

Nice collection! Have you found any leads on the unlimited zard?

My personal grail is the unlimited venu…

[jaws]

No luck! Nobody is parting with their copy as of now, which is probably fine since I’ll need time to liquidate everything I own to get it lol

[bulba]

Haha true. What kind of price have you seen or expect for the zard?

Have you seen anyone own the Venusaur or know what it might go for?

[jaws]

There’s only one that I know of that’s available. It’s with a full set though. I don’t know the exact price that anyone has paid for the charizard, all I know is quite a bit. haha

[bulba]

Is it this $50k set with graded power you’re referring to?

PSA blessed me today!

Nasty collection! I absolutely love the Korean 1st edition Zard. Still no luck on finding the unlimited? I’ve been looking for a bit as well, but have no idea on projected price point. Got any ideas of what they might fetch?

[korean_Jay]

Hi, is the korean base set Charizard still for sale?

[jaws]

Not sure, I have been trying to buy it but it was only available in the set. The owner took it down.

Awesome collection!! Would really love to see the unlimited zard one day!
