I believe I have all variants of this card now (Japanese, Korean, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish), but I’m not sure if it’s been released in Portuguese.
Also picked up a non-glossy back hole-punched e-Reader Pichu/Hoppip set which I only found out existed about 2 weeks ago:
The new Chinese Professor Elm’s Lecture card from China’s Legendary Clash set released in April, meaning I’m also 2 for 2 on Chinese cards featuring Pichu:
I had completely missed the two Pokémon Fan Club cards from Thailand’s Ruler of the Skies set released in November last year which made tracking down the full art version a bit of a pain. With those and the Professor Elm’s Lecture card from Thailand’s Legendary Clash set I’m now 3 for 3 on Thai cards featuring Pichu:
My plan is to eventually put them all in their own language-specific binders but for now they just exist as a big stack of card savers with their country codes written on the back of each in case I forget which is which.
I’m tempted to send a few over to CGC once that’s an option from the UK, but we’ll see.
I’m trying to track down all of the relevant magazines before posting pictures of individual cards from the 2009 Design Contest set, but here are the ones I have so far:
Also it’s absolutely teriffic that you have the fitting magazines to go along with the Design Contest cards! Stuff like that really ties a collection together and makes it unique (as if your collection wasn’t unique already ).
But good lord, are those Japanese magazines flashy haha.
If anyone’s interested I’ve updated my blog today to include a new article about one of my favourite items from my collection, the 042/DPt-P Pichu: 042/DPt-P - Sapphire in a Bag of Diamonds.
This follows a high profile collector on Instagram this week posting about an upcoming set of high-end cards they’re planning on auctioning off. Alongside a Snap Poliwag, 2005 Victory Medal and Kamex Computer Error, pictured next to a 2006 Championship Arena was a very much out of place 042/DPt-P Pichu card. The blog post explores why this is popular for the wrong reason and why it should be celebrated for something completely different.
I also recently found a very minty Dengeki Pichu - which I should probably also write about on my blog. The only issue it has is slightly wonky centring on the front. I’ve not shared this anywhere yet, so enjoy:
Unless there’s another version I’m not aware of, both of those are silver. The one with the red logo is from 2000 and the one with the black logo is from 2001:
You might be thinking a gold version exists because of an eBay listing a while ago which was claiming there to be a gold foil version but it was just a filter applied to the listing image.
I’ve got a stack of blue foil Meiji Pichu cards with PSA right now trying to upgrade that 9 to a 10.
Bro!! I looked at your collection super awesome! Love everything about your collection and love seeing all the pickups from plates to cards everything is amazing. Here’s a card you might be missing from the carddass anime collection.
I am indeed missing that one - I only saw the back of it for the first time about 6 months ago but since then the only copy I’ve found for sale has been $60. I hoping one will show up in Japan for $5 at some point.
