Quuador's Pikachu Wanted List - 9 out of 1433 left to go

Hi,

I’ve already made a Pikachu Card Collection thread, so why not a Wanted thread as well.

As I mentioned in my collection thread, I only focus on all regular sized TCG Pikachu Cards. EDIT: And now also Jumbo Cards! (So this is excluding Pikachu-shaped Dittos, cards featuring Pikachu, Jumbo Cards, stickers, etc. and this does include all languages, stamps, codes, misprints, etc.) Here in this Excel you can see my collection (in green), incoming cards (in yellow) and needed cards (in white).

I’ve also put a Wanted cards list in this thread which might be easier for some. I’ll try to update it regularly when I have new incoming cards. This version below is more updated than my Excel.


So, first of all the quality: My main preference is Ungraded M/NM, but any quality/grade will do, even if it’s heavy played/PSA-1.

All Pikachu Cards I’m still looking for sorted per language:
(Added prices to give an idea of what I’willing to spend for a M/NM copy, but it is of course negotiable. NOTE: Prices are including shipping towards me in The Netherlands.
I’m also willing to buy PSA-graded or played quality cards, but I prefer M/NM ungraded.)

Bump.

Also, I started buying Pikachu Jumbo Cards as well since yesterday. And… well… I got all of them incoming already :stuck_out_tongue: except for three:

  • Pokemon Center Happy Birthday Pikachu - Japanese Holofoil Jumbo Promo
  • Red & Blue Collection Pikachu EX - English Jumbo Full Art
  • Red & Blue Collection Pikachu EX - German Jumbo Full Art

The Red & Blue Collection Jumbo Pikachu EX in both English and German will be released in two weeks (September 14th), so I know I’ll be able to buy those soon as well.

This leaves me with one Jumbo Pikachu I need though, the rarest of them all:
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/%27s_Pikachu_(Pok%C3%A9mon_Center_promo)

EDIT: Ok, found and bought all of them. All 12 Pikachu Jumbo cards are now incoming (and I already had the 13th, the Base Jumbo Pikachu). Now I just need to wait for the European release of the Red & Blue Collection for the latest two Pikachu Jumbo releases. Not bad, I started collecting Jumbo Cards yesterday, and already have the complete collection incoming. That was easy. :wink:

I’m not sure which Red Cheeks version you’re looking for but I have the Shadowless if that’s the one you need, just send a PM

Ah, I forgot to clarify that one. I think you are referring to this one, @gcea:

I was referring to this Red & Yellow mixed Base Pikachu misprint that I had come across. It’s probably a one-of-a-kind misprint, kinda like the Gold Border one and something I might never be able to add to my collection, but I just added it to the list purely because I know it exists.

The 1st edition Shadowless Red Cheeks, unlimited edition Shadowless Red Cheeks and E3 Red Cheeks are all in my collection. :blush:

Still thanks for the reply though.

Ok, never seen that before, good luck finding it!

Bump. 153 out of the 775 more to go. :wink:

Bump. 103 more to go. :blush:

98 left to go! I’m currently sitting at 83% of all existing Pikachu cards (I’ve added percentages to my Excel). Here is an overview per language:

English Japanese Dutch German French Italian Spanish Portuguese Korean Chinese Russian Polish
Have 151 181 6 87 90 88 39 9 16 3 7 3
Incoming 3 3 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 3 0
Need 10 22 0 12 11 8 9 22 4 1 0 1
Percentage have+incoming of total 94% 89% 100% 88% 89% 92% 82% 29% 80% 75% 100% 75%

Damn Portuguese cards… :sob: Two languages (Dutch and Russian) completed, though. I am Dutch, so those weren’t too hard. I already had most before I started collecting Pikachus specifically.
I had no idea Russian would be my second 100% completed though. My Russian contact is amazing, he already had the BREAKthrough Pikachus for me durig the pre-release sales. :grin:

Bump. 95 more to go, even though some more Sun & Moon promo Pikachus have been released since last time. I’m still surprised I find new Pikachus every week. :grin: I’m definitely not complaining though. Keep 'm coming!

Bump, 102 out of 806 to go.

I was contacting by someone from Brazil a couple of weeks ago, currently awaiting more responses… I hope it will go through, because that would mean I will get (at least) 13 Portuguese/Brazilian Pikachus. But we’ll have to see…

Wow! 102/806 to go. You’re in the home stretch! I hope the Brazil contact comes through

Bump 86out of 808 left to go.

And I finally found someone from Brazil! After just one week he already send me some pictures of 4 Pikachus and a Seviper that had arrived. So soon (probably still at least three months) I might be able to cross ~15-18 Portuguese Pikachus and 2-3 Sevipers from my list. :grin:

I’ve updated my first post with prices I’m willing to pay for them. Some prices may be ridiculously overpriced, and others perhaps underpriced, but that doesn’t matter. If you have the card in M/NM condition I’m willing to buy it for the price stated.

Bump simultaneously to my Seviper wanted thread.
