Hi all! I suppose it’s time I make one of these threads…
For those who don’t know me, my name is Joe. I’ve been collecting pokemon cards since 2008. I collect the english tcg sets, regigigas cards, and miscut cards.
I’ll do my best to keep up with this thread. Here’s a small taste of what’s to come, assuming I maintain this thread on a regular basis.
We can start with the regigigas cards. I’m semi-known for this on my Instagram. This quest is called #projectregi. It aims to get 100 full arts of regigigas, including one in each of the languages, as well as 4 of every other regigigas art produced. (2 english and 2 japanese for those.) This journey is almost to an end, as the only thing I need to do now is acquire 25 more regigigas full arts and then I’ll be done!
Here’s one of every language they were produced in. From left to right:
(Top) English, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Bottom) Spanish, French, German, Italian
I assume this is what most of the thread will be about. Miscut cards are something that has always intrigued me. The fact that they are messed up from the factory in such a drastic way, and they are each unique 1/1 cards. I’ve always been fond of collecting stuff that isn’t right. Lots of people do like to see them, and others aren’t particularly fond of them. But have you ever seen something that’s so bad that it’s good?
I’d also like to mention that my definition of a miscut might differ from other people’s. Some say if you can see the black alignment dot on the card, that makes it a miscut. However, I would personally consider that to be severely off center. I don’t consider it to be a miscut unless it shows a portion of the next card on it. There’s no set in stone definition for it, but either way, the only ones I’m willing to add to my collection are ones that show a portion of the next card.
I’m always looking for more miscuts to add to my collection, as that journey never ends!
I’m open to any questions or comments, and I hope y’all enjoyed seeing what I have to share. There’s plenty more to come.
