I’m really happy with my collection so far. I was originally going to go for all psa 10 (maybe 9/10 for the error cards) but decided that by the time I can afford all of them that I might be priced out of the market again, especially with 30th coming up. I decided on going for the “second best” in terms of the most common grade. This means psa 8 for the fan club and error cards (since most of them are psa 9) and psa 9 for the others
The only Shining Magikarps I’m missing now are the first edition double holo error and the elusive fan club, aiming to get both at an 8
On weekdays I keep them on my work desk so I can admire them in slow times, and then on the weekends I put them out on the coffee table
P.S I know the acrylic cases are quite dusty and have some fingerprints, they are a pain to clean and I accidentally damaged one attempting to clean it - must’ve been dirt in the microfiber cloth. After that happened I gave up for the day. It seemed like no matter what I did more dust would appear. If anyone has any experience cleaning acrylic cases like these ones please give me a pointer or two! The slabs are safe in sleeves and I cleaned them well beforehand
