Sharing some various exciting pickups I’ve had recently!
Missing Ink Error Slowbro
Super obsessed with this error card. I actually got this at the E4 meetup, I did some artwork for another E4 member and they gave me this error card in return! Thank you for the unexpected exchange, this totally made my day!
Spanish Unseen Forces RH Slowking
Fuerzas Ocultas had low print runs (yes, another hard to find set). Very happy to have picked this one up, now I’ve just got to hunt down the others!
Quebec-only* French Cards
*Maybe also Belgium? But not France
I’ve been on some quests recently for French printings that were never actually released in France. These can be kind of difficult to find, because they were mainly released in Quebec, and a lot of folks in Quebec collect English cards. I did manage to track these two down!
- Breakpoint 21/122 French Cosmos Holo
- International McDonald’s 5/12 French
A Birthday Gift: Ramoloss et Psykokwak
A friend was recently in France, and he returned with this as a surprise birthday gift for me. Turns out his hotel was right next to a card shop! He told me “I thought the odds that you had a random French Slowpoke were pretty low” and I told him “it’s more likely than you’d think”. Luckily for us both, I didn’t have this one, and it went straight into the spreadsheet!
Korean 20th Anniversary Start Deck Slowpoke
I’ve seen some other species collectors have a hard time with this particular set. I got really lucky, and a Korean eBay seller happened to have one. This is the only Korean printing (so far) of the original Fossil artwork!
