Thanks guys :grin: Celebi takes very good care of my plants so I had to showcase both :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

My PSA collection is getting larger every week :grin: I picked up these two because they have amazing artwork and also they are in my top 10 pokemon favs list for sure (Mew is #2) I am hoping to get a 9 and a 10 of fossil mew eventually as well, might even try to do that crazy PSA 1 through 10 with this guy as it has always been one of my favorite cards.

Now this guy is just fierce! It looks as if you are the prey looking up at him as he comes in for the kill lol! Love the energy in this artwork

I just reorganized my Neo sets too so I will update once I take some pictures of those sets :blush: Have a good day everybody hope you enjoy the update

I love the fossil Mew, every time I see that card it brings me back to the days of trading cards at recess. Awesome additions to your collection!

I love the Fossil Mew! When an opportunity to pick one up in 10 came, I didn’t hesitate! Great pickups :wink:

I so wish I did but some older kids stole it from me way back in the day. I remember they showed up outside my house and were like “Hey we wanna see that super rare card you have” and I was like “Yea okay!” all excited to show them I went and retrieved it from under the carpet and went outside to show them. As soon as they had it in their hands they ran. :sob: everybody was under the impression that my card was 1 of a kind and had to be worth millions! So yea I never saw it again and it was a sad day. It worked out in the long run though because I was thinking about all of the joy that card brought me back in the day so a couple years ago I decided to buy another beautiful fossil mew for the nostalgic enjoyment and from that one fossil mew card my collecting days rekindled. So if they wouldn’t have stole my prized mew card back in the day I am not sure I would have ever got back into collecting which has led to experiencing all the joys of pokemon as I did back then! Life has a weird way of working out so it seems :grin:

I love to hear stories like this because I believe many of us have a similar story. I am sure this is obvious but I think each of us has a distinct memory or specific card that we have several memories connected with and that is exactly why we are now passionate about this hobby today. For me it was base set bulbasaur - the first pokemon card that I ever saw/owned.

Another gem I picked up for a very reasonable price! I love the dark colors and pose for this card, it’s very sinister + it’s charizard which = always cool in my book. If only he had some sweet shades on :sunglasses: *sunglasses at night plays in the background*

Hey everybody I know it has been forever since my last update so I have a lot of new additions to the collection to show you all. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

So here are some Gems I picked up which are some of my favorite artworks, they just have such brilliant colors and personality. They are from the Expedition series and I want to try to complete all of the holos in 9/10 so we will see!

Ampharos has to be my favorite. The yellow with the silver and pink mixture in the background is just a wonderful look. Gengar with shaggy looking hair standing in the desert or something, very awesome haha. Mewtwo looking all powerful in a thunderstorm, classic. Arbok has such a cool design here and also another beautiful background.
Here are some beautiful niners I picked up too :blush:

Rockets mewtwo is insanely cool. Gyarados here reminds me of some classic japanese dragon artwork, would make a cool tattoo! Typhlosion just bursting with flames and looking strong. Vileplume looking cute and colorful. Love em!
Here are some good ole No rarities which I love very much as well.

And my newest collecting flavor is the Unlimited Legend series cards

Welcome to the Unlimited JP HG/SS Series collectors circle. It’s a barren, deserted landscape but if you look hard enough you find some gold.

Hahaha I agree! the rarity and challenge makes collecting them that much more fun right? :ninja:

So somewhere out of the deep blue sea arose this magical UED Legend Wailmer which I needed to go together with the UED Wailord and it’s also a reverse holo! Really excited about these 2 :grin: And for some new PSA pickups →

Golden sky, Silvery ocean…the beauty that those words evoke! such an amazing name for a really great set! Ho-oh making the sky golden looking very powerful and noisy and I had to pick up the majestic vaporeon because of those great colors and unique artwork.

This beauty has always been one of the best looking cards ever in my opinion! Standing strong upon the icy mountain tops, wowie!

And another great ampharos! (thank you @smpratte !) I always imagine that he is flying in this card for some reason. Like he is flying off a cliff ready to protect some mareep that are being attacked. Get Em!! Really nice colors and also the way the holo shines on these cards is really gorgeous too!

Very nice to see the pair of Reverse Holo UED L3 cards! Congrats on the addition.

And that Absol looks beautiful! The holo sparkles are almost like snow falling down.

Alright so as you guys know my new thing is finding Unlimited Legend series cards and here are a couple more I found. These ones are mint too so they will be sent off to be graded as soon as I get some extra funds :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Magcargo and Gliscor are L2 which is awesome as I haven’t ran across as many L2 cards until these guys showed up and Aggron is L3

I actually really enjoy the artwork for this card especially the nice green grass/moss background. The holo really pops out on this card under light and has a beautiful shine to it.

Look at that full moon shining on through the night! Some really nice colors here.

Again the holo of this card is really nice and shines bright. I thought it was cool that to the left of its HP it is holo as well. Pretty cool :blush:

So there are my newest additions that I’m ecstatic about finding and owning. Definitely more to come of these legends :grin: I will be sending quite a few cards in for grading (hopefully) soon as well!

Hey everybody I know it has been awhile since my last update, I recently moved 1000 miles away from ND to CO and have a new job so I have been super busy but don’t worry I still found time to expand my collection and now I have time to share it with all of you! :grin: So to start off, I sadly had to say goodbye to the Pokemon wall but I have made a new little space and will have to work on a new Pokemon wall later.



AND NOW FOR THE GRAND REVEAL OF THE NEW UNLIMITED LEGEND CARDS! *DRUMROLL PLEASE!*

(The top row are L2 and the bottom 2 rows are L3) I am very excited about finding all of these guys, A big thanks to @tonysandlin and @noodles for helping me out with a couple of these! Slowly finding more and more, I have a eevee and a nidoking coming soon too! Missed out on a tyranitar prime that was in a lot though :sob: O well I shall find another one eventually!


I absolutely love the artwork on this jumbo card! Psyduck is probably just going to get bonked on the head by the ball lol and poor charmander!

Sealed ponyta info mag :blush:

Sealed base + neo decks! Possible no rarities?! We will never know cause it is staying sealed :blush: (Not sure of the post code either I forgot to check)

I started collecting these Japanese postcards after seeing the tremendously awesome artwork on them. I can’t even believe how cool these are! :sunglasses: it brings me back to my childhood where my friends and I would go on adventures and be different Pokemon and these capture those days very well.



Last but not least is this cool old school gameboy Japanese guide which has all the original ken sugimori artwork for red/green/blue + screenshots and more old illustrations that are pretty sweet.



So there you have it and there will definitely be more to come! Hope you all enjoy this pretty massive update :grin::grin::grin:
