You’re welcome 
I’m fuming that customs opened a pack. I’ve never had this happen to me yet - I’ve sent many sealed items from China via EMS and none have been tampered with before. That still doesn’t clarify which country did this though. Perhaps next time I will include an open packet and a note, to dissuade nosy customs officers? Ridiculous - and allow me to make up for this with a holo.
I’ll send you a nice Chinese holo in slow post, just to make things right.
PSA submission has arrived! Got some great results, 26 psa 10’s in total. Only few cards I really needed in gem mint failed to achieve it.

My highlights for this submission ( not in any particular order ) :
This was really unexpected result. If the card received mint 9 I probably would’ve sold it, now I don’t know anymore do I even wanna sell it. 
No surprises with this one, looked flawless before submission. PSA 10 pop is also very low, same thing naturally applies to other Power Keepers Eeveelutions.
When expectations don’t meet reality. Most saddening thing Lugia and 17/111 Typhlosion were “only” nines, then again 3 new PSA 10’s for collection is better than nothing. Don’t worry @gemmintpokemon , I’ll match your achievement someday. 
Oddball of submission. Notice the “snowball” around Espeon, that’s not the way card should’ve been printed. It may not have the biggest monetary value but I still like it a lot.
@gemmintpokemon May be interested in some of those cards! IF your not keeping them that is!
Phenomenal submission. I would continue to grade 1st edition sets, but I’d just be buying to resell. Surprisingly there are still many mint cards out there. I believe all the POP 1 cards will be 5 or higher in the coming years. You will accomplish the Neo Gen PSA 10 set someday. I’ve yet to break open a PSA case, yet many of my 9s look perfect.
The 1999-2000 Ninetales is amazing. Beautiful highlight to any collection!
Great submission. You did well getting so many 10s, especially that Ninetales. Awesome!
you must have got your cards graded via ludkins
That would be correct. 
I’m likin the Psa 10 phantom forces stuff. I still have to send my PF cards in.
Another successful purchase from crackrokmccaib, PSA 10 1st ed. Lugia.
He also included freebie PSA 9 1st ed. Slowking, awesome.
Overall progress with PSA 10’s is now 14/19, pretty good have to say. The hardest part is still ahead tracking down cards with 1-5 population. Not mission impossible but certainly hard one.
New stuff coming in, first I’ll show new home for my psa cards.
It’s SKB case, model number 3i-2011-7B-C . So far I’ve kept my graded cards in plastic storage boxes so I was thinking they deserve little better than that. Seems like a quality product, shaping of foam layers is really easy and at least psa cards fit inside perfectly.
Then the second thing… looks like I have start visiting flea markets more often this summer. I was expecting to find some binders with random cards inside, got something WAY better.
All that for 250 euros, absolute bargain. I had 3 sealed boxes before this ( + some loose packs ) so now total amount is 7 sealed boxes and almost box worth of loose packs.
Me atm.
What a bargain o__o Congratz!
sheesh, who sells sealed booster boxes at flea markets lol.
nice collection, is there any reason you collect power keepers? i dont know much about anything after wotc, are there any desirable cards in there?
Power Keepers might be the least desirable from ex-series generally speaking. I’ve just ran to few lucky occasions where price has been more than right for english ex-series products. Even better majority of them have been sealed boxes.
EX Power Keepers got printed into oblivion, couple that with it being one of the least desirable sets. There is a relative surplus.
People have just started to cotton on really and the price has gone up a bit.
Since my 1st ed. Neo Genesis project is standing still I needed something to do. Had a tough pick between PSA 10 1st ed. Gym Challenge holos and japanese PSA 9 Neo Shinings, latter one being the choice. I might do Gym Challenge thing once everything else has been completed.
Why PSA 9?
-all cards are on the market atm.
-much cheaper compared to PSA 10 versions, I can obtain all cards for less what PSA 10 Neo 4 Shining Charizard costs
-japanese Shinings are tough to grade so PSA 9 is already excellent thing
Got first 3 cards today from @rgzcampbell ( Kabutops, Raichu, Steelix ). Stay tuned, lots of equally great additions coming in soon. 
How much are you snapping up them shining 's for? I’m looking to start on them next month and I haven’t seen many japanese ones around.
Got my 11 shiny Rayquaza promos back this morning. Thanks again @japanime
Also 2 japanese shining cards from @darkrai , PSA 9 Shining Charizard and Shining Noctwol. We also made a deal for PSA 9 Shining Tyranitar that will arrive in seperate letter.
As promised. Gorgeous looking card, one of my favourite shinings after Gyarados.
The Japanese version looks incredible!
