Had to take a photo of this gem. Reverse effect is most fitting, reminds me of seeing northern lights, an amazing thing to see in real life.

Same here - I traded it once at school for Fossil Golem because I just liked the other card more.

Awesome collection btw! I also really like the Neo first edition holos.

Golem is hammergeil.:blush:

Also, thanks! I’m debating putting the Wobbuffet in the BGS pile, it is flawless.

Wow! How’d I not see your collection thread before?! Had to give a few likes, at least.

Better late than never, thanks dude! :heart_eyes:

Not weird at all that you haven’t seen it after the migration, this thread has been pretty low effort for a while now. Actually, it’s been pretty low effort since the beginning. :rofl:

I like seeing multiples of the same card it looks good to me. Its like an army lol.

Oh yes, it’s great.

I’ve been playing with the idea for years now of doing one 4-pocket binder with full pages of expensive favorites and one 9-pocket binder with less expensive favorites. If they ever escape from their plastic tubs, that is how I’ll organize them.

Do you grade all these raws? I see they have pull tabs

That was the plan but then I couldn’t afford to do it during the boom and then I didn’t prioritize it after. The tabs stayed because they’re convenient and because I couldn’t be bothered to remove all of them. I used toploaders for the first 10 years. :smile:

Your collection thread is absolutely nuts! Glad I found it again after your update. If I recall correctly, you pulled all of these cards right?

The background with the Lapras and Raichu look more blotchy. Is that due to extra ink printing or something?

Thank you! All pulled by yours truly.

Yes, extra ink I believe which gives that blotchy, frosty, extra cloudy look to them. Could call it vintage texture. :smile: A whole set would be very nice but they are significantly rarer, I’d say roughly 1 in every 20 Fossil holos pulled, and that might just be me being lucky.
