@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 ![]()
You think I was playing around when I said I collect Gyarados?
(Excuse the rough watermark edit)

We’re taking you seriously lol
So is this the crown jewel of the collection?
Dang! That’s an incredible piece dude! Congrats!!!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good stuff with the snap Gyarados. That just got me really hype for collecting, DAM I LOVE POKEMON.
Woah man, snap Gyarados!
Please, may I ask how you aquired that one?
Thanks guys is definitely the crown jewel of my collection
and I acquired it by using a super rod ![]()
Wow!
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 ![]()
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 ![]()
350 only?! Are you sure there isn’t a 0 missing there?..
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
). - 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. ![]()
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. ![]()
@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 ![]()
fake
My kid lost this card at daycare. Pls return to me thx.
where did u see the korean unlimited
love the snap through looks amazing
That snap card is amazing, congrats! ![]()
Just waking up and seeing this update got me like…

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

Ah, ok. In that case: That much for grading one card?! ![]()
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
no import fees as PSA declares the value at the grading cost which is well under the $1000 import limit

Jelly as heck
