I completed a binder of my absolute favourite artist in the TCG Mr Tomokazu Komiya! The last card I needed turned up from Japan (Psyduck from Platinum) Does anyone else do artist binders? They are so much fun to see the progression over the years.

Congratulations! Artist binders are cool. Question: How did you find out every card Komiya has done? Was there a resource you used, or did you just look through every Pokémon set ever? Cheers

Glorious! I’m slowly working on finishing mine too, nearly there, just don’t want to pay through the nose for individual commons/uncommons!

I think the bulbapedia page for komiya should be pretty up to date too, i’ve been using that! And also, congrats for awesome accomplishment! As many others who replied i’m also in process of my own komiya binder (also might be doing a world record of slowness with it), limiting it to regular sized cards tho since that damn new year present really has gotten pricy it has been nice to see how many people seem to love his obscure style, it really got me off guard to see when i joined here!

@machoponion,
I’m curious what the hardest cards to acquire were. Aside from the pricey jumbo card

Apart from the jumbo some of the hardest to find were in the 2003-2008 era and I there was an Aipom and Pachirisu which you can only get in a theme deck box, these were hard to find as singles.

This is fantastic. I really enjoy all of the Komiya love in this forum. I wasn’t really a big fan of Komiya when I jumped back into collecting since I enjoyed more artwork that was consistent with the Pokemon’s official design. After going through Komiya’s art history in the TCG I don’t understand how somebody couldn’t fall in love with it. This is a binder I too would like to own one day, but for now I’ll live vicariously through you and this thread .

Are there any other artist binders that you plan on starting?

I am 99% complete on a few other artist binders including Yuka Morii so I’ll be posting some more soon

Thank you! I’m seriously considering finishing a binder myself and I usually go with the most expensive first (likely the jumbo card. Masaki promo. Etc) as will as always having my eyes peeled for the cards that don’t pop up as often!

Could you comment on what the top 5 most costly cards would be? From what I see the jumbo, slow poke promo, scream psyduck, masaki look to all be the upper teir of cost for komiya art

Cheers . Corn

Most expensive for me was:
Fan club jumbo
scream promo
masaki machamp
psyduck xy promo
charmeleon e series

I was also surprised how pricey some of the VS cards were considering they aren’t holos, so I’d get those ticked off first

What an awesome collection!!! I also collect all things Komiya

[corncob2001]

@machoponion, how long did the full collection take you?, were you buying mostly singles or large collections and picking them out?

Also what draws you to komiya art so much? … for me its that its so different from most pokemon artists and it still has a whimsical feeling to it.

Congrats again . (also I have looked at a few e-series charmeleons on ebay for ~25 each, wasnt to hard to find for me so I’m wondering … were they more expensive at one time or do they not pop up for sale very often?)

Probably 3-4 years A few collections but mostly singles on Yahoo/rakuten etc

I love the colours/mood and how he puts cool little details in the background. Whimsical is the right word for sure!

Yeh the charmeleon isn’t too hard to find, I think I paid around 25 too
