I haven’t looked up this card in a long time. I can’t believe it’s finally gone up in value.
Karen’s Umbreon VS
Bought it from Syuju017 in Japan, Some of the older members will remember that seller for sure ![]()
Purchased July 8th, 2021
My very first slab! The card art that pulled me back into collecting Pokémon.
Says 9.5 but is now a 10 thanks to the revised grading scale
I miss CGCs first holder that was built like a frame instead of the current one that has the PSA style 4 holders
The Game Corner Porygon Promo has to be a top 3 JPN promo for me. Awesome first 10!
Been collecting my whole life, and still to this day, I’ve never purchased a 10. I have purchased a few 9’s but couldn’t justify the price jump to a 10.
BUT I was gifted a 10 from a friend as graduation present. Hands down, my favorite modern promo.
$5 everytime.
Does CGC count? I hope so
I’m primarily a PSA 9 guy as the 10 premium isn’t worth it to me, but I will grab CGC 10s every now and then
PSA 10 Shadowless Haunter. I later sold it to a collector in Norway. I think about it from time to time.
I was so pumped when I got this. This was a chase card for a friend and I and the fact I got it as a 10 was crazy. It was also the card that got me into 10 collecting for a little bit because I realized that I looked at this Gem Mint 10 card far more than the 9s I had (even though they were more valuable) because the centering was better.
Great thread!
Been almost exactly year since I made a similar thread, still got the Crystal Kingdra in collection.

Managed to find an old photo of my first and only psa 10 purchase, it was in the earlier days of my collecting when it felt like something i want to own an example too as so many others collected psa 10 cards. Sat in a box for years before i sold it, no regrets about buying it as the pikachu psa 10 premium grew a hefty amount during those years
Maybe you were never meant to be separated ![]()
It would be fun to go on a hunt to retrieve it and track down the owners chain since that Norway guy
I dont own many psa 10s as I mainly collect vintage spanish and they are difficult to get 10s, specially base set.
But the first ones I bought, they were the three together at the same time in a deal I made:
These were better days.
Still in possession, though only for another week or two. It has recently found a new home ![]()
