Always make spring cleaning well, you’ll never know what you find. At first I didn’t remember at all how this PSA 9 No 60 HP Dark Persian had ended in one drawer but looks like I’ve purchased it from @garyis2000 in late 2016, sorry about late update my friend!
Really classy Sugimori artwork as usual and Giovanni’s face on background is great extra detail even though it’s hard to spot compared to japanese non-holo promo. :3

PSA 10 Battle Road Spring Deoxys which arrived from syuju107 yesterday. I simply love the crystal clear overall appearance this card has.

Neo Genesis cards with gold stars in them? Now that’s something I want to see. PSA 10/10/9 set of Champion Road 2000 starters from @smpratte .
Not the most common promos people are after but I really wanted minty set for collection since these are known to receive bad grades. Double gold star replacing regular Neo Genesis symbol is also great addition, can’t decide which one is favourite because all gen 2 starters are so cute. 
Check this out too, PSA 10 Information pack Bellossom. Another card I’ve been looking silently for a while and simply couldn’t resist including it in same shipment. There’s just something magical in artworks of Neo Bellossoms which draws my attention.

Most recent addition from @thecharizardauthorty , PSA 10 Expedition E3 Pichu. Thanks for smooth deal as usual ( also special mention to @hazard24 who has actively posted pictures from unlimited E1 Pichu which truly ignited my interest for this purchase ).
Has to be one of the most joyful cards printed and really unique too having english front/japanese back, something I didn’t have in collection before.

Been like a year when I started thinking of adding BGS cards to collection but other things kept me busy. Better late than never, this BGS 10 pristine 1st ed. Feraligatr 5/111 came in couple weeks ago from ebay/instagram user charicific1992 ( if you see this go ahead and create account here as well 
).
Outstanding condition and great addition beside near complete PSA 10 holo set. Definitely gonna get 1-2 more graded examples of these, I’m actually liking the thicker cases + soft sleeve inside is always positive extra.
Btw. has anyone had issues with labels? The one in this is slightly misplaced but fortunately doesn’t shake or anything, maybe I can live with the fact there’s small gap near Beckett logo.

Another Beckett card added to collection. 1st ed. Neo Genesis holo above was quite obvious choice considering my other goals, then I started thinking of other options and ended up picking BGS 9.5 1st ed. Crystal Lugia from syuju017. Crystal holos were anyways my first love with graded cards so this is nice extra on top of all english cards.

Next card I’m about to show has been topic of the day for last couple weeks, not a single day I wasn’t talking about it and today it finally arrived.
There she is, PSA 9 Fan Club Shining Magikarp. Can’t even express how badly I regret not buying this years ago, looks so awesome in person from all different angles.
Magikarp isn’t only card for this update, also bought PSA 9 Corocoro Shining Mew from @garyis2000 to have 12 different japanese Neo Shinings as PSA 9’s. Could’ve not arrived in any better time to calm down hype with upcoming SM3+ set, thanks for the deal!

Somewhere in my collection thread is family photo of Neo 3/4 set cards I completed years ago, after recent additions in earlier post it’s time to update that as well.

Can’t call myself a huge Pikachu fan but still I’ve found myself admiring Natta Wake Pikachu once in a while, finally decided to buy one and it arrived this morning from syuju017 ( 2 days from Japan to Finland, wow ).
The artwork is simply too delicious and brings smile on your face every time while looking at it.

Here are 2 SM3+ booster boxes which arrived from @kkthxbai today, he also provided Shining Ho-oh promo ( which looks so stunning in person ) and 3rd SM3+ booster box that I just finished opening. Thanks for the deal.

For some odd reason obtaining PSA 10 Masaki Gengar has been a small struggle, at least 3 times I’ve considered buying one but every time something else showed up and buying Gengar was delayed. Now when I finally ended up making a deal with @derpizard the shipping seemed to take forever and we started to get a bit worried what happened to it. All good in the end and received the card today, thanks for the deal and all the help!
Simply stellar illustration and certainly one of those older promos which remains its demand in future no matter what.
Also a small word of warning on top of actual update, the Masaki Gengar is probably last PSA card BEFORE last PSA card ( which is still 1st ed. Typhlosion 17/111 ) you’ll see in this thread. For a while there’s been this thought in mind I’ve traveled full circle with graded cards, I set a goal to fit everything interesting to one PSA storage case and we are getting there eventually.
Who knows maybe in future some upgrades might happen for current 9’s but for now I’m happy with bigger picture, from now on I want to return to my roots aka sealed older items while doing some random pack openings + completing simple binder sets.

Hi again, time to make another update after brief break.
Bought this amazing sealed Neo Genesis theme deck case from ebay couple days ago and it arrived really quickly. Fine condition but there’s small hole at front, doesn’t look too bad in person luckily. Overall appearance of this item is so beautiful with all the popular Pokemons like Heracross, Bellossom and so on. 
I’m also reposting following pictures because the original message that’s supposed to include them has vanished like a fart in the wind from this thread.
Sealed 1st ed. Clash of the Blue Sky booster box
Sealed 1st ed. Rocket Gang Strikes Back booster box
Sealed Lost Link booster box

Here’s newest member of sealed collection family, japanese Neo 1 starter deck case. When this arrived I was really surprised how good the actual condition was, definitely worth every penny.
Thanks again to @pottsinator for being one of the greatest middleman that western parts of United States has to offer for world.

I had to break 7 month silence and buy something again from ebay, 2 sealed Champion Road booster boxes. 
The temptation is real to break at least one of them and pull Neo Feraligatr etc. after many years but tbh. I should be happier just keeping them in current condition. Who knows maybe I’ll grab couple more shortly even when I’m still waiting for a chance to buy that PSA 10 1st ed. Typhlosion 17/111.

I really recommend opening a box of this set. It’s really nice to go through all the Neo and ex-era artwork and think which set they are from originally It took me some time opening mine and going through them

I hear you but the urge to open any sealed items has been drained from me. It’s almost a year from SM3+ Shining Legends opening and I still haven’t completed whole set, not gonna go through same thing with this.
The artwork of boxes is anyways possibly best we’ve seen in last couple years and if there’s a need to see picture of some card it will be always available on internet.

Me and @ssjc made a small trade recently, he got some nice PSA cards and in return sent this sealed Neo Intro deck I’ve been looking for a while. Thanks again, everything went so smoothly.
I just love everything about this product and its content, another great item I won’t let go easily from sealed collection.
