Oh no I just like that pichu art! Looks like he has a super saiyan aura!

I can agree with that, too bad Pichu was only holo baby Pokemon in the set but at least they made it really good looking.

Got few additions to show for you. 
Neo 1 promo binder from @woolsluk and gotta say it got here extremely quickly, thanks for the deal. Lovely looking product, planning to obtain Neo 2 + 3 binders as well.
Pokepark Forest binder which came from ebay user hiromiyo ( I’m fairly sure this account was kool1389 or something before, the gold star guy anyways as some of you might remember ). Really interesting item I should’ve bought ages ago, can’t wait for the day when I find Pokepark Blue variant.
I could keep watching the large artwork on the backside for days.

Fun fact, I’ve had the backside picture of the Pokepark Forest binder as my phone’s background pic for a long time

Thanks! Yes the sealed item section has some beauties I’m really happy about like ADV/PCG boxes.
@obliviox91
Thanks to you as well, planning to keep additions coming in steadily.
That’s a great goal, it’s been a while since I completed them as PSA 9’s and don’t feel there’s a reason to upgrade none. Just be prepared for Fan Club Magikarp if it’s on the WTB list, rather expensive item and hard to find with high grades.

Recently I made a thread where I expressed my thoughts about some unfinished things on this collection. One of the biggest goals has to be PSA 10 1st ed. Gym Challenge holo set, at some point it was on the list but somehow it got discarded, now it’s time to make things right.

Got 6 cards already including beauties like Erika’s Venusaur and Misty’s Gyarados as some of you might remember and multiple reinforcements are otw. as we speak, that would be great if I can complete this during following winter.
There should be also other upgrades for graded card collection but it wouldn’t be nice to spoil everything at once so keep your eyes open. At one point I thought I was done with them but I guess I’ve fell in never-ending cycle of improvements.

Here are few purchases I’ve received from poly_100 lately, sealed 1st ed. TRR Black & Silver half deck kits. Needless to say I’m so excited about them, just a small sample of amazing smaller merchandise from ADV/PCG era.

1st ed. Gym Challenge goodies coming in from @garyis2000 , thanks a lot for really quick deal as always.
Giovanni’s Machamp has to be one of the best Machamp artworks just like the one in Skyridge set. Koga holo is great way to open game with trainer cards needed for whole set.

Been a while since I posted any graded trainer cards here. 
PSA 10 Fruit of Healing from @garyis2000 and PSA 10 Fruit of Miracle from syuju017. These are upgrade for PSA 10/10/9 Champion Road 2000 starter trio that arrived little over year ago, such a cool little set of 5 cards.
Gotta say I was slightly gutted last night after losing the auction for PSA 10 Champion Road Totodile, on positive side it’s at least going to another great member of E4.

Got some additions from @gottaketchumall yesterday, 11 out of 20 cards obtained already for 1st ed. Gym Challenge collection.
I’ve said this before but Nidoking is one of the most underappreciated Pokemons from first 3 TCG generations, hard to understand why it didn’t get more attention while looking at this great illustration.
Blaine and Sabrina holos bring in some burn and beauty to this set.

Got some heavy hitter Gym Challenge cards from @cullers this morning, thanks for great deal.
Anyone else here who enjoys Giovanni’s Gyarados? I personally like the really fuzzy/unclear background, gotta pay some attention on it to notice sea floor, rocks, water and so on.
Meow. :3 Giovanni’s Persian is so classy card, it would be difficult to make it any better, also feels great to have PSA 10 with lowest population taken care of at this point already.

I wasn’t expecting this good results after most recent WTB thread update, however @jcincy101 decided to strike when iron was hot and sold 5 new cards for Gym Challenge set. Once again smooth deal with another “new” E4 member. 
It’s getting already cold outside as the autumn comes but this beast makes sure things stay warm inside, Blaine’s Arcanine.
When Koga owned a Ditto? Anyways a necessary piece for this little puzzle.
Now there’s a good looking Raichu! This and Dark Raichu from Team Rocket set have to be all time favourites overall for me.
Here’s Sabrina’s Alakazam as well, nice little swirl on the left edge.
This collection needs only one big boss! The dark green background is so fitting choice, Giovanni was also the last trainer I needed.

Looking forward to seeing the collection completed! Very jealous of that Blaine’s Arcanine. Hope to have one myself someday

Yes it’s a beautiful card, no wonder it’s favourite from Gym Challenge to many collectors.Tbh. this Gym Challenge set is coming together almost too quickly compared to many other goals through the years.

These 1st ed. Venusaur ex/Blastoise ex half decks came from ebay user person8283 some time ago. I’ve owned both cards in PSA 10 condition for couple years yet I feel they look much nicer inside original packaging. Looking forward to find 1st ed. Charizard ex deck at some point to complete trio.

From the dark sky & rainy clouds descents Rocket’s Zapdos, beastly looking card which was sold by @jcincy101 . One more step before this goal is completed.
Not a bad way to celebrate 2000th message and Earth badge.

I may have been a bit too pessimistic while aiming to complete 1st ed. Gym Challenge holos during next winter. Last missing sheep known as Misty’s Golduck arrived this morning from ebay seller mrjoosy, looking really good overall.
I’ll share the picture from all 20 cards some other time. Super happy anyways this task is now over.
