But as Frosty.Puppy friendly suggested it, I will also share it in its own thread. Maybe people will be happy to discover some unknown edition of their favorite card….
The idea to start this binder came from an other French great collector (he’ll recognize himself) and I thank him for that because it’s really my favorite binder.
I started around 2022 after 2 years of collecting only full sets from base expansion pack to legends era. As I bought a lot of bulk lot on mercari Japan, I had already many (many) cards available and I was able to complete 50% of the binder quite quickly.
But now I’m close to the 100% only after 3 years as all the cards are not really easy to find. So I think it could be interesting to share which cards I struggled more and if there are questions, I could answer them later.
A beautiful collection and a beautiful profile photo! The pfp makes me also ask do you have any non-pokemon art from Komiya? I would love to get a framed non-pokemon poster from him, can’t even dream of an original painting
I indeed own 2 painting from him. I was very lucky to get them. I also have one that I painted myself and also the celebi from the card that I tried to reproduce. I could share some picture tomorrow
It’s funny you should mention the difficulty of obtaining some of the cards as the ones I like the most typically are in those categories!
The L series mirrors, E1’s and WCP’s are all such niche and rare sets. Love to see them in other collections, congrats!
Awesome collection as komiya is the best of the best
Since you made a collection thread for it, and if I may so officious for a moment in saying so, perhaps you might commemorate this thread by uploading those divine pictures to the thread itself for everyone’s viewing pleasure?
hi, yeah well I see there is an “image gallery” button but I don’t know how to use it. And posting all the binder at once result only in a randomly sorted binder + for unknown reason upload of some picture is leading to upload error
Phenomenal showcase. Komiya is a very interesting artist and a favorite one for most given how different the art style is. The binder pages look gorgeous and it takes a lot of time and effort to be able to curate these binders. Really great job and kudos to you. Thanks for sharing.
Really impressive collection, especially the UED! I’ve also been working on a Komiya binder for roughly the same amount of time as you but with much less success haha. I wanted to do English + Japanese but kinda gave up early on getting every Japanese variant - back then it seemed like a real challenge and extra effort just to discover the variants let alone buy them so kudos to you. Do you have a current preferred resource to know all the different variants?
There was a collector who did the same for Kawayoo on the discord I used to chat on. And he shared the tips haha. I just had to check on some particular promos or deck cards (pachirisu dp only ued)
I need the diglet xy as well… (my last card)… im having trouble even finding the actually card anywhere. In japan right know and I ask every card shop but haven’t had much luck
Great collection and accomplishment. It took me a long while to finish my Komiya binder. Of course it’s never done🙂. I did mostly English with pages of Japanese variants and special or promo art. I fully enjoyed sifting through bulk for years looking for the cards. I love to see how their expression adjusts through time, though the humor and style remains. It is fantastic that they are now doing more of their own art and I have been following the shows. Not lucky enough yet to win a lottery to purchase . I’ll keep trying though! Thanks for sharing.
