MegaShiningMagikarps collection- Victory Medal set

A nice card in the post today…So i took a gamble with this… the listing only had one photo of the front. I could see it was OC but that didn’t bother me as the card is for my personal collection, not to flip! Something that did worry me was that the seller relisted it 2 days later with the same pic but for £150 more!
Well it all paid off! No whitening on the back and just a tiny mark on the top border, its very difficult to see and not visible in these pics. Having only spent £550 ($700usd) on it, i am very pleased!

Beautiful. Looks like at least a PSA 9. Worth double what you paid. Nice grab!

Much like with the CoroCoro Comics Shining Mew, the correct lighting really makes Master’s Scroll’s amazing holo pattern stand out. Congratz on this beautiful addition to your collection!

Beautiful cards! Any plan to grade them?

Yes. The Kamex is already with PSA and the Tropical wind will most likely go next month.

Whoops… forgot to update this…
My Masters Scroll and Kamex computer error came back from PSA a week or so ago.Very pleased with the result of the Scroll! The Kamex got the expected grade due to an indent on the bottom left corner.
Also a new addition to my collection… a raw Fan Club Magikarp which I bought from a close friend.

Jeez… 6 months since my last update. Plenty of new additions… Here’s a few of them…



Not really new additions… but fairly recent back from PSA.

Very nice additions! The Rayquaza and Giratina cards are very neat (and niche) and deserve a lot more recognition.

Any story on the raw card acquisition?

Nothing exciting unfortunately! I picked it up early last year off YJ for 400k yen. It was off a seller that is renowned for his minty cards.

Man I love your high end collection and your commitment to the Karp!
You’ve probalby seen them already, but there is a Fanclub Magikarp and a Unikarp up on Yahoo auctions atm, in case you don’t have enough of those yet :wink:

Thank you so much for the kind words! I should probably showoff the extent of my karp collection on here one day… ha.
I am watching those auctions thanks but I don’t think I’ll bid. :grin:

Early 2017 I set myself the goal to complete the no rarity base set in PSA 8 or above. I finally completed it earlier this year (April) after a Japanese collector contacted me willing to sell me the final card I needed.

So my set consists of:

25 PSA 8s
1 PSA 8.5
58 PSA 9s
12 PSA 10s
I have been working on upgrading some of the 8s to 9s.
The photo is a bit blurry sorry.
