Mada0's collection - life of a JP card holo addict

Love the Growlithe art! Baffles me how I still find so many cards that I’ve never seen before… :sweat_smile:

Thanks for sharing your collection!

The “slice-of-life” section in particular really stood out for me. Guess that’s because I do have a liking for slice-of-life mangas and also because some of the artworks were reprint released for the Battle Roads (Prof Oaks Visit, Bebe search etc) which I’m always on the lookout for.

Thanks! Also great info, I did a quick search and now I know the JP holo foils were reprinted after battle roads as well! At least I have options if I decide to chase the holo versions heh.

Jealous of your Unlimited XY 8 Chespin.

I just saw a bunch of listings on mercari, you could check it out!

Thanks, unfortunately I don’t use buyee so I can’t do Mercari.

I have a sealed UED XY 8 booster box so I will have to rest knowing that it’s in there haha.

Am currently waiting for the remainder of my 151 set cards to arrive, I will have achieved a complete set in my books.

It will be all pokemon in pokeball reverse holo, plus every other pokemon type cards - alt art rares, ex’s etc (other than the Mew ex alt art which costs way beyond what I want to pay for), whatever full art rares I pulled from packs cause I’m not a big fan of those.

I plan to do something special to showcase these cards in my collection, am still brainstorming but keep an eye out on a future reply on my collection thread!

The reverses are so good man. Congrats on completing the full set, it’s a real satisfying one. Part of me wants to get them all in reverse–for now I’ll be content with the ones I pulled and the rest of the commons. But man, seeing them all together is eye candy.

I was already planning on it, but seeing your slow reverses is prompting me to go check on those immediately. Need them now.

My pictures really do not do justice to them, when looking at them all in the binder… Man… Its crazy good, I highly recommend you do it soon! There are a few which are priced a bit higher like Pikachu, Psyduck, Magikarp but definitely not as high as the master all reverse holos haha!

COLLECTION UPDATES

I finally got the Mew EX SAR and am calling my 151 set complete! Have laid it out into the 151 section.

Additionally, I have acquired a few other holos - promos and some other random cards. Have also rearranged some card section galleries so feel free to scroll through and take a look!

That Shinji Kanda Magmar is just absolutely fantastic. Great update and thanks for sharing.

Cheers!

I’m not sure how to quote reply the card pictures from this post but what are the names of these two cards? I like the fishing related Pokemon cards and these look awesome! Great collection and thanks for showing!

Glad you enjoyed! Good question on the image reply, I noticed others have done that in the thread too! Maybe I’ll figure it out on desktop…

For the card names, in Japanese they are ハギ老人の思いやり and 釣り人.

In English it’s Old Hagi’s Compassion and Fisherman.

Shameless self-plug, I also shared my excel sheet in the original thread post, where you can find the card info displayed neatly too in case anyone wants to search for card names etc.!

Major updates! In addition to new cards, I have collapsed all sections into the first post and added a table of contents for easier viewing! I have deleted the old sections (with some leftover as I have deleted too many haha…) but they can all be found above. Happy viewing!
