So I went to my mailbox after morning run and noticed someone had put a goldfish in it!


Good thing it wasn’t alive, just Neo 3 Shining Magikarp bought from Pokemonpacific . So shiny. :blush:

New stuff in.

Additions to Emerald Break binder collection from various japanese sellers, 2 Rayquaza-EX FA because I want another one as graded. :stuck_out_tongue: Now if I could only find that damn Shaymin FA…

On top of those I’ve received two Neo 4 Shinings. Mewtwo from @garyis2000 …

… and Celebi from ebirdman. Original seller had listed card with gsp as shipping method so I had to find reliable way around it, good thing Ed helped me out again.

Nice cards mate! I had to bite the bullet and overpay on eBay to get my Shaymin. =(

Happy days, I just received PSA 9 Shining Gyarados. What a monster, thanks again @uhwarrior70 for fast and smooth deal. :grin:

That said I have now full set of PSA 9 Neo 3/4 Shinings, group picture for celebration:

After this I can focus purely on hunting 1st ed. Neo Genesis holos and awesome wotc boxes. Also I ordered 12x Bandit Ring boxes, can’t wait opening those bad boys.

I adore that Shining Gyarados. I had the art recreated (including an attempt to include holofoil-esque effect) and printed on a playmat a while back just because I liked it so much.

Just a side note, if I was that poor guy out at night, on a boat on my own, and that thing popped up i would be literally shitting bricks in fear!

That Gyarados art is right up there as one of the best of all time IMO, really love the idea of having the card artworks reprinted elsewhere - definitely hope to come up with something like this in the future for my favourites.

Got some really cool items to show you.

Main attraction of this update, finally got my hands on sealed Legendary Collection booster box. Couple beauty errors but doesn’t matter, takes so much weight off my shoulders. Seller was nice enough to include freebie unlimited Fossil booster pack in deal. :blush:

Also obtained these 2 recently…

1st ed. Jungle booster box, nice companion for my Red logo Jungle box.


Second 1st ed. Neo Genesis booster box, when you really like something you just have to collect it right? :blush:

Great additions!! Really like the sealed Legendary Collection Box!

It’s a Box that’s still on my wish list but I don’t have the money for it at the moment. (+ there is sooo much more on wish list :wink: )

Thanks!

For me it took one year before reasonable priced box appeared on market. They are really wanted stuff atm. as discussed on some other topics here. After this I still have to score a deal for Neo Destiny box… (puke) :grin:

Only little update this time. I received XY6 Shaymin EX FA this morning which was missing piece for complete 1st ed. Emerald Break set. :blush:
