Would never touch:

Most Goldstars because they are ugly and I’ve owned the Mew, Mudkip, Suicune, Groudon, and Metagross and sold them all without a moment’s hesitation, (exceptions for the Ray and Torchic which actually look good to me)

Original Shining Cards - Only like the Celebi, Karp, and CoroCoro Mew and already have those

Crystal Cards - not my jam, Lugia and Celebi are nice but don’t care to get them.

Moonbreon - Ugly distorted Umbreons are not my jam

Old mega cards with the THICC writing (regular and full art) - pure ugly

Full Art CGI chase cards from WOTC, mid-era and modern era - Many Japanese ones have great texture but never been a fan of the CGI stuff

Basically if it ugly to me, regardless of value me no want.

Hmm maybe the gold star dog trio given the history? I would say anything artificially manipulated but then I would just about be out of the hobby.

Nothing. If I had the money, I’d create a museum of all the cards released since neither TPC or TPCi can give us a complete database.

This one was a hard question to answer because if I had infinite money I would buy every card in the world. But if I had to choose it probably would be anything with provenance that comes from Mr. Takumi Akabane.
