Nidokingdom's collection thread and wantslist

Hey :waving_hand:
I’ve postponed this thread for years but it’s about time I make it :sweat_smile:

Hi, my name is Dominic, based in France, but born in the UK (moved here when I was 7 years old). Born three days before the release of Pokemon Green in Japan (you can guess the date and my age :stuck_out_tongue: )

I’ve started dabbling with the Pokemon games since I was 3 years old and I was always attracted to Pokemon cards, but never really had the chance to get any (unless I was trading my food for them aha).

When I got to Uni in 2014, I finally had a bit of money for myself, so of course I looked up Pokemon cards online by curiosity, I fell into the nostalgia trap, I had bought the non-holo dark Charizard from team Rocket.

Then it was all out, it was right before the 2016 boom and I was hooked, luckily my small student budget was ok for a while as cards were very cheap. So I started buying a lot of bundles hoping to collect the vintage sets regardless of languages and completed at first some sets in English and French.

Later in 2015, I realized my favorite Pokemon was Nidoking, as I was mesmerized by the Crystal Nidoking from Aquapolis I had gotten randomly in a bundle from Ebay. From there, I started getting anything Nidoking I could get my hands on (including Nidorino and Nidoran). I was studying languages and translation, so I also started collecting all of their cards in all the languages and editions.

As years flew by, I managed to fill my collection and complete a lot of sets and also replace conditions.
By 2019 I had finished most WOTC sets and at least half of the Ex era sets. I also got deeper into vintage japanese stuff from my Nidoking collection but stuff was getting too expensive for my student budget. I had to sell all the non-nidoking stuff I got in bundles just to afford everything else.

I got my masters degree and my first job right before Covid hit, and finally I was able to afford a bit more as prices were inflating fast ! by end 2020 I had nearly finished all ex era sets and was diving deep into stickers and other oddities.

I realized during covid that collecting TCG, i didn’t like it anymore, that I was racing against the inflating prices and not collecting at cruising speed or enjoying it. I found way more joy discovering the huge hidden side to the non-tcg Japanese iceberg. Starting 2022 I’ve decided to sell my entire TCG collection, and as of now I’ve sold all my DP to BW sets, and everything from base set to Skyridge. No regrets because at the same time, I’ve been documenting and obsessing over stickers, postcards, coins, and various pokemon center vintage sets.

If you haven’t seen any pictures of my collection you can check me out on Instagram at nido_kingdom :stuck_out_tongue:

Throughout the years I’ve managed to build friendships with Pokemon collecting, and gained confidence as a person because I don’t feel like an outcast anymore (especially since Pokemon is mainstram now), I’m really grateful for that.

Here’s some random information about me:

  • Languages spoken : English, french, german, spanish and japanese

  • Favorite colour: purple

  • Hobbies : music (recently started getting into vinyl records), sports, stand up comedy, anime, video games, tech stuff, fashion

  • Things I love the most: Any dog, good food

  • Favorite countries : Japan, Germany

  • Favorite food: profiteroles, lasagna, gnocchi,

    So, what am I doing now ? What do I collect ? what are my accomplishments ?
    For all of the listed sets below I also try to find the wrappers or sealed products when I can

Also I’ve been collecting vintage bootleg tcg cards for the lolz for a longtime now (check-out bootleg_nidoking_ on IG)

Accomplishments:

  • I’ve had a few figures from my collection shown during a Pokemon /Yu-gi-oh / Magic exposition December 2022 to august 2023 in the “Musée de la carte à jouer” near paris.
    Soon in 2026 more items will be part of another museum exposition :eyes:

  • I created the pokemonstickerpedia website in April 2022: what motivated me at first to create the website were 3 things: I wanted the information to be free of access for anyone, I love the creative process of building websites and designing stuff, and lastly, I’ve considered multiple times that in the next few years I’ll stop collecting or press the brakes sooner or later, so I wanted to give back to the community.
    –> this website will not stop at stickers only, once I’m done it will contain information about anything non-tcg, and open to the idea of collaborating with other websites/people :smiley:

I’ll post my searches below this later :laughing: there’s a lot
Thanks for reading !

So here’s my HUGE wants lists, trades have priority and I probably have duplicates from all the sets and +60kg of stuff to trade (figures, merch, boxed toys, postcards, stickers, coins, cards etc…) – I’ll include my buying prices, which are also my selling prices for similar items (adapted according to pokemon popularity/ conditions)
And I will prioritize bundles of items to save on shipping

Great to see your amazing collection in a thread now. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I love Stickerpedia and I am really happy about your help so far with my personal collection.

Eager to see updates and learn more about the fascinating Japanese non-TCG world.

Best of luck on your Dice collection. Are you including all the mini-dice as well? :scream:

I’ve always loved your collection and back when I was active, you helped me a TON with my own collection. So glad to see your collection has only continued to grow - maybe one day you’ll open the Nidokingdom Museum! :raising_hands:

Thanks ! Yes actually I’m doing only the mini dice :laughing: To be honest the dices are so rare that I wouldn’t have started that set if I didn’t lucky 3-4 four times on bundles of them even if they were expensive. Can’t wait to add those to the website, because it’s so niche and there’s so many specific Pokemon collectors out there that don’t know these exist :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: There’s actually 126 of them split into 6 parts lmao (luckily I’m only missing 38 of them so I’m basically nearly done, the last ones will take me years though)

So great to read more about your collection and learn about your story! I love Pokemon Stickerpedia, and the trade we made through Instagram is still responsible for a huge chunk of my Slow Sticker collection.

Hello, nidokingdom. I’ve gotten a few recently and plan to get more assuming they stay relatively cheap. Included are stamps and some kind of pika sticker.

I’m hesitant to collect more postcards because these are incredibly flimsy, super easy to bend with shipping. Think I just got lucky with a good seller.

4 Likes

Hey :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

There loads of different types of postcards and postcards sets at different prices ranges out there.
I would say the VHS sets, the Keiko Fukuyama sets (except for the Lawson set), banpresto charamail (really fun to collect), and all the recent postcard sets from recent years (that also have lovely artworks) are still relatively cheap.

However anything pokemon center exclusive from 1998-2005 especially the new year postcards get expensive. :melting_face:

(any pretty much anything bought on ebay or on streams would probably be crazy expensive)

Yes, there are so many good postcards! The window to buy is closed for me atm. My country is very antagonistic with allies like Japan right now. Inflation, tariffs/taxes, poor dollar, and shipping costs have skyrocketed (around $20 for sellers I trust) thanks to combined government actions. Makes purchasing from Japan less appealing. I still want(!) but making slower moves these days. I don’t think I’ll expand more on stamps, the one pictured was just something I loved.

Awesome collection and display! Non-tcg is a goldmine. How do you normally store your smaller stickers like Amada etc. - in a folder or card binder?

Hey giselle !
Up until now I’ve stored all stickers in 20 ring binder pages (and other types of pages), but the ring binders deteriorate as time goes by
But I’m happy to share a nugget of the future, a little pidgey told me that there will be a brand of new sticker zip binders hitting the market very soon :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

Wow such a wonderful collection! Midway through scrolling I was wondering if you were the person to create Pokemon Stickerpedia, glad to see I was right! Absolutely awesome website. I love seeing obscure Pokemon things from Japan documented online, and it helped me properly identify some of my own stickers!

Awesome to see you make a collection thread and a wants list here :slightly_smiling_face: Your knowledge of non-TCG stuff is a great resource to a lot of collectors, and your vintage non-TCG collection is so fun to look through! And of course, thanks for your help with some of the Top/Topsun VS card resource too (haven’t had any time to update that all :sweat_smile:) Happy to see you get involved here if/when time allows!
