Four months after joining @slowqueen and @dylancollectsglaceon in this hunt for 121/S-P, I too have now obtained a copy.
I told @slowqueen early on that I am eager to find one more, and, funnily enough, this entire journey has been a catalyst for my Korean Promo collection.
I had a few Korean promos and cards here and there, but never centered my collection goal around any of those Korean cards. This time, however, it’s been so far a collection I truly enjoy and appreciate.
Few years ago I offered a group of people here help with finding some Korean cards, but then slowly moved out of the hobby for a while and basically never responded (as I never logged in) to the queries and questions. I was really happy I could help someone else this time and was very invested in finding the 121/S-P.
Now four months later, I talk to @dylancollectsglaceon past midnight, and send my last message at 00:38am before going to bed. It’s been nearly four months of me looking at different forums and marketplaces several times every day to find the card.
Few minutes later, @dylancollectsglaceon messages me that the card randomly appeared on Bunjang, a Korean online maketplace.
(sensitive info, or maybe a curse word, was redacted..)
I was obviously not responding, but not only did @dylancollectsglaceon not hesitate to send the link to JP, JP did not hesitate to buy it, and then sell to me.

The same way our Slowpriest, who sent the slowpoke to @slowqueen for free, made a forum post in Korean saying how beautiful it is that someone put all this effort, like queen did, to find a card and locate him on a very gatekeeped forum, I similarly now write about how beautiful I think it is that two random strangers, one of which shared the 1am timezone with me, pulled through to help me get the card. Thanks @jp1004 and @dylancollectsglaceon . I hope Slowpriest sees this!
Now onto catching some of the other, but hopefully not so much bigger, big fish,
