Nice, what Art Academy card do you wish to acquire?

astronaut or chef pika but tbh id be happy with just about any of the pikachus lol

That some goals won’t ever be in your collection because you did not prioratized them or had to many cards you wanted. I got back into the hobby mid 2023, and knew about all my grails/collection goals by early 2025. I knew some promos and chases would rise in price (without even anticipating the post Illustrator boom) and because I was not organized enough or did not make enough side money, I’ve let some cards slip and I won’t be getting them anytime soon. I still get joy through completing smaller goals and even with simple artworks. The thing I like the most is collecting modern artists that are easy to complete (GOSSAN, dsuke, Akasaka, Akase, SIE NANAHARA, matazo…) without any crazy expensive cards.
