Hi there! Started opening packs right around when Evolutions came out. I collect recent (BW-present) sets, no grading, just making binders. Going to attempt to upload some new pics every week to show what I’ve been up to.
For Dragon Vault, I bought sealed product from eBay, opened blisters until I had a complete set (21/20), kept the five blisters in the pic, and sold the rest to a friend. Even though I don’t grade anything, it’s nice knowing that all the cards are pack fresh / straight-to-sleeve.
For Double Crisis, I bought sealed product from eBay and opened blisters until I only had the two in the pic. Had to buy a bunch of reverse holos and only a couple of main set cards (pics soon).
So that makes it easier to not open the rest. It’s nice having one of each sealed product from the sub-sets. I’ll probably flip the sealed box of blisters some day.
Nice Radiant Collection! I bought the whole set used so mine are in questionable condition. And sadly my mew was the most played condition of everything. Yours is gorgeous!
International Championships (no TOP 8 or CHAMPION cards). I really like the switch in 2018 to have the card be the language where the competition was held.
