It’s been a while since I’ve updated you guys with additions to my collection. For those of you who don’t lurk around instagram, I’ve met one of my collection goals (partially) recently, but I am very much close to seeing the rest of it through in the upcoming couple of weeks. I am pleased to announce that I’ve completed all of the Japanese Gold Star cards graded, with all except 1 of them being PSA 10 (Espeon is PSA 9 but is being sent in for review), and all except 3 of them being 1st Edition (Still need Latias, Regirock and Mew in 1ed, but I am sending off a Latias to be graded, have a Regirock on the way and currently in the process of making a deal for a Mew). Very big THANK YOU to everyone who has helped me achieve this goal along the way. When I first got back into collecting toward the end of 2013, there was no way I would have thought I would have been chasing these cards, let alone owning them.
First are the Clash of the Blue Sky Gold Stars. Hopefully my Latias comes back a 10 (I pulled it from a booster pack a couple months ago and have been itching to send it in.)
Rocket Gang Strikes Back Gold Stars
Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean Gold Stars
Mirage Forest Gold Stars (I should have my 1ed Regirock Monday afternoon.)
Holon Research Tower Gold Stars
Holon Phantoms and Mew/Lucario Gift Box Gold Stars
Miracle Crystal Gold Stars
Offense and Defense of the Furthest Ends Gold Stars (I graded the unlimited Mew right before the New Year and was ecstatic that it got a 10 since this set is such a pain to grade. I am currently in the works of getting a PSA10 1ed Mew to complete my 1ed Gold Stars )
World Champions Pack Gold Stars
PLAY Promotional Gold Stars (I’ve graded the Espeon twice and both times it got a 9, so I am now gonna send it in for review this week and hopefully it comes back as a 10.)
I just thought it would make a nice picture to have the Fan Club Eevee in a picture with the PLAY Promo Eeveelutions
With my gold stars pretty much complete, I am now going to work towards other shiny Pokemon cards. I will slowly piece together the Japanese Shinings (currently have 1 in hand and another on the way) but right now, I think I’ll work on the L-P promos and the shiny Pokemon cards from BW and XY series. The set I am not looking forward to getting are the 12 cards from DPt series since they are near impossible to find mint short of buying a booster box. From here on out, I’ll keep you guys updated with my progress in my shiny Pokemon hunt and other awesome cards I come across in this thread.
