Shizzlemetimbers Collection 2022 - 6 Years in the Making

@quuador Thank you! I have been grading some of my collection of which I have every Gyarados iteration apart from 3 or 4 cards that I don’t even own a played copy of so technically I have a complete Eng/JP collection minus those ones. But my goal is to have a PSA 10 collection of every English and Japanese card minus the once-in-a-lifetime cards that you just buy any copy and errors etc, and PSA 9 and higher for the foreign base set. In other words if PSA will grade it I will collect it in the best condition I can :blush:

Wow! :open_mouth: :heart_eyes: Amazing! Congrats on finding this jewel for your collection. PSA9 no less!

If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you buy it for? (If you don’t want to share that’s also fine.)

I’m just speechless. Now that this tough to get card is added to you collection, I guess you’re almost at a 100% completed Gyarados goal? Once again congrats!

Greetz,

@quuador Thanks man was a private sale but I will say that it cost me around $350AUD all up to get it graded :open_mouth:

I am missing:
English 1st Ed. Grey Stamp
Japanese Unlimited HG/SS L1 Holo and Mirror Holo
Korean Unlimited Base Set

Of those I have never seen the L1 anywhere but have seen Korean and Grey.
So crazily enough I can say that these cards are harder to find than a mint Gyarados snap :face_with_spiral_eyes:

350 only?! Are you sure there isn’t a 0 missing there?.. :face_with_spiral_eyes: And it’s even AUD, which is worth less than the USD…

  • Ah yeah, Korean unlimited Base is indeed pretty hard.
  • Grey stamp is just keep checking those 1st editions on ebay (I do the same in my search for Pikachu Thin stamp & Pikachu Red Cheeks Grey stamp - I’ve none so far however :slightly_frowning_face: ).
  • And you and me both about the unlimited L1… I have yet to see a picture of an unlimited edition L1 Pikachu non-holo or Reverse Holo…

Well, good luck in your search. :blush:

Btw, another question: Now that you are so near your goal, what will you do afterwards? Leave it to this, or you enjoy the search and start branching into other languages or something?

Greetz,
Quuador

When he says $350AU, that’s just the grading component, not the card. :wink:

@quuador Lol the $350AUD is just the grading cost and shipping etc. not the card

I have a ways to go in finding majority of PSA 10 copies and 9s so will last me a long while yet :wink:

Ah, ok. In that case: That much for grading one card?! :stuck_out_tongue:

I guess mainly insurance and import fees? Not to forget the general expensive shipping in Australia.

Greetz,
Quuador

@quuador Yep not cheap sending just one card :sob: no import fees as PSA declares the value at the grading cost which is well under the $1000 import limit

Jelly as heck
