I think I’ve cracked the secret to uploading decent pictures on Instagram. These cards are nothing new, and are all featured in the first post, but I wanted to share these here as they’re much better quality:

Picked up some postcards from YJA today:
This one celebrates the 5th anniversary of Pokémon:
This one is from 2000:
This one is from 2018:
It’s nice to see that Pichu is still relevant in official products, but I wish they’d make more Pichu cards! 
I found out yesterday that Pichu just narrowly missed out on being featured in the new 325/SM-P Pikachu card. This is the card’s artwork:
And this is the full scene:

Really happy to have added this to my collection. I picked this up from Mercari.

vvJapan went above and beyond on this as the seller refused to ship it to them and subsequently deleted the listing completely. Without me asking, about a week later they had noticed that the seller had listed it up fro sale again and they ended up having to use one of their personal accounts to make the purchase, getting it shipped to their home address before sending it over to me. Ridiculously impressive service!

Long overdue, I’ve finally acquired the mass-produced non-holo Pichu from the Expedition Base Set in a 10:

Finally got my hands on one of these after checking YJA and Mercari every day since the 1st of April:
This is the 336/SM-P print of the modern Pokémon Fan Club artwork which features an ‘Event Organiser’ stamp and was distributed, as I’m sure you can guess, to TCG event organisers. This is part of “Trainer’s Pack 2019” which features 9 new cards from 328/SM-P to 336/SM-P as can be seen in this ポケカ情報局 article.

Never thought I’d own one of these. To my knowledge the last public sale of one of these was back in 2016 and I didn’t have enough funds available to buy it back then. I’ve been on the look out for any of these cards ever since and managed to pick this one up privately a couple of weeks ago. Very, very happy to have it!

Now I just need to work out whether I trust PSA to grade it with all the drama recently.

Post arrived today and I now have the only 3 Korean cards featuring Pichu. This is the first time I’ve gone out of my way to pick up Pichu cards which aren’t English or Japanese. Many thanks to @quuador for pointing me in the direction of the Korean DP-P 005 promo; if anyone knows the release information for that card I’d love to know how it was distributed.

And the other silver Meiji Pichu in PSA 10:

Just the blue one to go now, which is currently a pop 1 so likely won’t pop up any time soon.

Seems there are. Picked this one up from Mercari recently:
I can only assume now that there must be a ‘HP50’ variant?

Sent off a handful of cards to be graded last week and have got some estimated grades back from Ludkins:
Pretty happy with the estimations. It would be very nice if some of those 9s come back as 10s - hoping PSA will be lenient with those.
Really hoping for a 7 on the unlimited Expedition Pichu as well. but honestly I’d be happy even if that one came back as a PSA 1!
No idea how I missed the damage to my Pokémon League promo; sent it off anyway just for fun.
I’m attempting to get my hole-punched Expedition Pichu graded with printouts of research I did in this thread: www.elitefourum.com/t/any-information-on-these-cards/12600/39. Would be nice if they are able to grade that one, but I don’t have my hopes high.
For reference, the “2000 Japanese Bandai 25 Pikachu/Others Prism” at the top is this card which I noticed PSA have started grading:
Would be nice to get a 10 on that one as it’s a very attractive holo.

It came back a PSA 8! I was only expecting a PSA 6, so I’m really happy about that. I also managed to find myself a new but rather beat up copy which I’m also going to send in to be graded; I’m only expecting a PSA 3 or 4 on that though:
