Hey efour!
Today I share with you something I’ve been working on - my progress on collecting a mint graded no rarity set and a mint+ set of my favourite special arts. I don’t intend on collecting all special arts released but I’m having fun collecting the ones I like most. I stick to mostly regular V’s as the Vmax usually don’t do it for me.
Scans:
So far I only have 5 no rarity cards graded. Thankfully 4 of them are holos. I picked up Doduo recently for a steal, customs and shipping cost me as much as the card did!
I’m glad there’s so many unique cards as alt arts in these recent sets, a welcome change from the era of 3d models for every UR/SR! And always love trainer involvement with the pokemon on the cards, nice collection!
Thanks for all the responses so far! Main goal is finishing the holo set as most of the non holos should come easier!
Eager to fill out this set scan !
So guys, ending up trading a lot of my modern cards for this guy.
Zapdos is one of my favourite pokemon, so I went all out to get this no rarity when i saw it.
(It hasn’t arrived yet, but im still really excited to share)
Thanks man! Hoping to complete the set in the next few years haha. Hard to say how rare they are. I think all of the holos are under pop 10 in psa 10 and pop 30 or less in psa 9, havent checked in a while though. But roughly 5-10% of the pop for 1st edition base psa 10s for the no rarity psa 10s
Cramorant picked up for 94$ this recent pwcc
2 unlim wcp exs picked up from buckna and winters who both gave great deals, awesome people!
Adjusted my goals slightly:
No rarity psa 9 complete set is still in the
works
Wcp unlimited ill be working on very slowly (please sell me all the salamences)
Modern sealed - just trying to keep up with modern japanese releases, have picked a few up in my incoming zen order, will post that when it arrives.
Finally, salamence psa 10 master set in english and japanese… probably my all time favourite pokemon and not overly expensive to try and complete over time… so thats another long term goal with the no rarity and wcp unlim.
Nice! Despite my preference being PSA, The Cramorant looks so awesome in a CGC slab, fits the color scheme really well.
I wonder what it would look like with the other Lady & Pikachu promo in PSA.
And happy to see the GEM MINT 9.5 label is itself centered haha.
Haha yea it does look quite nice. I think cgc added the centered grades to the label recently. I probably wont grade with them again after my next sub comes back however I’m happy to buy cards they grade. And yes I now need the lady looking back card. Probably should get that one in cgc 9.5 haha
