Status Report

Progress is slow going into Q4 2026. Prices for 10’s are INSANE, and outside of the ones in my possession already, the opportunity to add any more to my collection looks desperately slim.

I have a good chunk of cards ready to send to PSA when (if) cheaper tiers reopen, so getting to +50% complete will be nice.

Maybe down the line goals will evolve to being “One of each art”, rather than the full 330, but i’m not quite ready to call it quits just yet.

I still have the Big 4 of Charizard, Mew, Mewtwo & Dragonite to buy, so not looking forward to that. I will definitely HAVE to sell to buy these.

Anyway, onto the pictures. Hope you Enjoy.

Awesome set. As a kid I was extremely opposed to these new reverses when e-series came out. I found them tacky as hell. Now, more than 20 years later, I think they’re absolutely gorgeous milestones of Pokemon card design, especially with the thick borders where the holo shines through the stripes and the stunning, unmatched artwork that defined the whole e-series. Good luck on your journey and congrats on what you’ve accomplished so far

What a incredible collection already!

10 years ago when I was deciding to collect expedition, I wanted the whole set in 10’s but I figured I’d grade them myself. Thinking, ‘ten years from now I could have a large portion complete’.

In reality I opted for a master binder set after I tried grading my own tens and didn’t get a single holo/reverse 10

Kudos to you for going after a whole graded set!
