*Jesus…*those textures hit different!

I’ve always found that set name, if you can even call it that, hilarous when psa prints it in the label, but that doesn’t take anything away from how gorgeous the cards themselves are

Do JP collectors not mind print lines?
I mean, I know there are PSA 10s with clear print lines, but just wondering what people appreciate.
Noticeable centering issues don’t detract from the art, but print lines do, and yet are excused?
Can’t really speak for everyone but personally it depends on the card, for some like gold stars I really don’t like them, if they are hardly noticeable I don’t mind as much, background color plays a role.

GOAL ACCOMPLISHED: All unique art Pokémon Full Arts from the Japanese Black White Era! 
All cards are mint.
I wish I had better lighting to properly highlight the texture on each card, but I’m really happy with how the binder looks. My next BW goal will be every Shiny Pokémon!

But 5BAN sucks bleeehhh. Better full arts have yet to be made, the texture on these is amazing! This looks amazing together, it is a long term goal of mine to complete all black and white full art and vanilla exes, although not in mint condition. Seeing them together is a great inspiration!

I wish full arts were still max rarity and not rainbow rares T_T … we do have alt arts now which is a good change

Dang! Making me fall in love with more cards! This looks amazing as a set! The kyogre, groudon, and ray are exquisite works! Love em! I really enjoy that strong silver border on the first victini as well, really accentuates the red.

Haven’t updated this in a while!
- Up to fifteen shiny Pokémon! Started from scratch, so I’m pretty happy with my progress. This also includes two “shinies” SIGNED BY SAITOU! (Not sure if they are actually shiny versions, but including them for sure in the binder). Bonus Slowking:

Sold my PSA 10 Lottery cards to fund more BW purchases; plan to replace with binder copies. If anyone is curious, Rayquaza went for $7,800 including PWCC buyer premium (seller net $7,020) and Giratina went for $3,960 (seller net $3,498). I had been asking $10,500 on Instagram for the pair and that’s pretty much exactly what I ended up with so quite happy.

Decided to include BW Full Art Trainers in my BW binder, with my first arriving in the mail today!

Beautiful stuff Chansey!! Love the signed cards, and that Iris is an amazing way to start a BW Trainer collection! Always best to get the big ones out of the way first.

I will have a big update next month! I am waiting on a bunch of cards in the mail and then have to crack some graded cards.
Once this happens, I will have every Japanese BW Era Full Art, Shiny, and Ultra Rare (including Supporters and gold trainers which I decided to collect as well) along with my BW Victory Cup trio.
In order to afford my BW goals, I abandoned my goal of XY full arts. The two dozen I had graded and sold helped me afford today’s mail day. To be honest, I thought I would miss my XY cards more, but I don’t and I’m really happy with my decision.
Today’s mail:
I still have and will not be selling my XY special sets PokeKyun and Mythical Dream Shine. I’m also going after Best of XY reverse holos. These are the ones I currently need:

I sold my PSA 10 set a year ago with the plan to repurchase in lower condition and have finally done so. I do miss my graded set but I believe it was a necessary sacrifice.

Very few things in Pokémon are more satisfying than completing a binder set 
It took me around three years to acquire all of my Black & White Era goals! This included every Full Art Pokémon, Full Art Trainer, Shiny, Gold card, and Victory Cup Trio.
I’m going to post a full binder video this weekend; first I have to rearrange the order of some cards and also move them into a new fancy binder. Here’s a sneak peek.
