Ok so I expected to have like… maybe one or two that were super low pop… but by the time I was finished looking through my Kabuto and Kabutops slabs, it turns out I have over a dozen, so I just want to show off my 2 pop 1’s in my Kabuto/Kabutops collection. Here is my 2005 Pokémon Master Trainer Game Kabutops, and my 2003 Pokémon EX Sandstorm Reverse Holo Kabuto. The ladder is definitely one of my favourites in my collection, EX Sandstorm is one of my favourite sets ever.
If I could, I would 100% purchase an empty box for display, or packs in another language just for the nostalgia of opening (wish I had the opportunity of buying base ex Ruby & Sapphire in Spanish back when they were super cheap but 
lol)

For a first post, that’s a pretty amazing peak into your collection! Question for you, are you mainly a Chansey collector?

You’re killing me 
I swear did you get that off eBay in the last year or two, or mercari? I remember just getting to a post and it sold and I was DEVASTATED 
such an amazing card. I will make it pop 3, just you wait!
Yes, all regular sets from Kalos Starter Set to BREAKthrough (plus some promos) were released in Russian.

Good Q. I started off with Chansey. I currently have a Chansey 1st PSA 10 and a Chansey 25th PSA 9 as well. The other cards are Charizard (1st and shadowless) BGS 9.5.
I have recently sold all my stash at the NJ Collect-A-Con and I have decided to only keep the rare cards only

Both of these are a flex!! That shadowless Chansey is one of the hardest cards to grade!

You’re so lucky to own one of these! For whatever reason, PSA doesn’t let people grade stuff from the Master Trainer game anymore. I know a few people advocating for them to grade them again including me

I bought it off of yahoo in the last 12 months.
The other one was up for a while for triple the price, but it’s now nowhere to be seen.
This one popped up for 10,000 yen 
These are the only 2 i have that are worth showing for the moment tho.

More of a binder person

My theory has always been that if beckett measures 53/47… to the human eye that would look perfect but to them it would be grounds to drop centering grade
I was about to say the same thing!!! I sent in five copies of snorlax only for them to be like nope not grading them… it my number 1 issue with psa not grading cards that are in the pop register meaning new collectors can never complete unless they can find these elusive slabs not graded anymore!!!

Don’t tell me about it, I have tried to mark some as optional without success.
