That is exactly what i thought when i saw it. To my knowledge, 1st ed cards have never been printed in Australia across any sets?
Very excited, can’t wait to see what you have.

Uncut sheets are my favorite part of the collection. My first was a Neo Genesis common, which back then in 2011, then were roughly $20 apiece on ebay. When I held that thing, I was hooked. Of course after that I ran into the Fossil sheet from KB Toys, again super cool and not that common really(what was it 1000 copies?) My first big purchase was an Ancient Mew Test Sheet for $1200. 6 payments of $200, which was a lot at the time(Aug 2012). Keep in mind at the same time I was buying MINT 1st ed zards for $180 from the same person.
After that any sheet that came up I pursued after. I even bought 12 sheets off a guy in Hawaii and gave half to crazypokemon as payment for the contact once. It is still apart of my daily searches. I buy news sheets any chance I get, but can go several months within getting a new one. I have sold some along the way, but it has taken almost a decade for me to obtain the few stacks in my collection.
There are several I regret not getting when I have the chance - The Entei Black only, Pichu reverse, & Pikachu W stamped.
Hopefully one day, uncut sheets can be encased by a grading company or some place that can fully document and preserve them.
Sorry for the late reply, work has been hectic.
Oh, wow! I didn’t realise you collected them so intensely - that is awesome. I saw your insta post, too. I didn’t realise there were even that many base set sheets in existence, yet alone owned by one person! Regarding the neo sheets, it’s crazy to imagine anything that unique being $20 now. Someone posted one on facebook recently - i have been trying to remember who it was as i believe they were thinking of selling it.
I noticed your store them in what looks like a huge toploader? Where do you source them from? I reckon, until a company starts grading them, the best bet it your huge toploader or rolling them into a poster tube (obviously it would have to have a wider diameter than a normal poster tube unless you want to destroy the sheets)
I buy the oversized top loader from here: www.cardboardgold.com/to29forunshn.html

My question would be, what Pokemon (or other TCG) sheets have you come across during your time collecting? Have you ever owned one or tried to purchase one? If so, how much was it or how hard was to obtain? And finally, what are your opinions or comments on these items? Do you love them? Do you hate them?

@chickenpalma you can also consider purchasing a custom frame.
I used these guys frameshop.com.au
You can select from a huge range of borders.
I was also able to upgrade the glass to uv free and glare free.

Just shared a pic of one of the sheets I added to my collection a couple months ago, will probably show more pictures and write something up when I get a chance! There was a 1st edition Error Dragonite opened from a pack in August, but its nice to confirm the 1st Edition Error came about the same way as the Unlimited one on @thecharizardauthorty 's Sheet
