This is the result of my first foray in to the nebulous Yahoo auctions, excellently sherpa’d by my middleman. Damn, that place has some awesome stuff, so many things and so not enough money.
PCG 2 Clash of the Blue Sky UED, PCG 7 Holon Phantoms UED & 1ED
Time for some E series goodness. These boxes are a work in progess
E2 Town on No Map 1ED - The box is pretty beat up with a bit cellotape surgery on the main hinge/flap, but the vibrant colours and text really make it stand out. The stare-down between Zapdos and Suicune makes me think there’s a rivalry developing between the Kanto and Johto legendaries.
The amount of packs inside is a bit underwhelming, but I’m working on that.
E3 Wind from the Sea 1ED - The box is in good condition overall, a few scuffs. Another stare-down between legendaries, but this time both from Johto; maybe a rivalry between the birds and the beasts?
The pack situation is better here, about half full.
FireRed LeafGreen Battle E+ Packs - I really like the design and artwork of these packs, the silver/grey foil at the top and bottom have a strange texture to them as well.
DP1 Diamond 1ED & DP1 Pearl 1ED - I don’t particularly like these packs, but they’re in good condition and they were a gap that needed to be filled.
I tend not take photos of the bulk of my packs, but since it’s Neo Destiny I thought I’d make an exception. And here they are, all 20 looking resplendent. Just imagine a booster box full!
Time for a fairly substantial update to my collection, which puts me at 1/3 complete of Gen 1 sealed boxes.
Mystery of the Fossils sealed box - I like the artwork for the box, the legendary birds are looking strong with their elemental powers surrounding them (but Moltres’ pose does look awkward to me). Slowbro looking majestic as he comes around the corner. I really like that they kept the same bold Japanese type characters on the front of the box to keep cohesive with the previous ones. The overall condition is ok, I just wish Articuno’s wing wasn’t tucked under the side flap.
E Series 1 opened box - Quite a simple box overall, but with some strong colours and wording, I especially like the Sugimori style starter pokemon. Good condition, 6/10, bit of a dent on one side. Not too far from being full of packs, about 3/4 full.
Straying a little again. I thought I’d take a punt on this when it came up, not expecting to win. It shows its age a bit, and I even quite like the original price tag sticker.
