Unique Pokémon collectors

I’m a Greninja species collector. Not really unique as its a popular starter, but its my main focus.

@joponnes Thanks for the tag. This is a neat thread to see all the unique species collectors out there.

I’ve been working on Seel/Dewgong as well as Diglett/Dugtrio. Lots of gaps still left in the binder though :slight_smile: I’ll have to post a collection update soon.

Because I havent seen them listed yet,
@stagecoach Has an amazing TCG flip coin collection
@thefiercestorm Has an amazing Pokemon Pin collection
And although they havent been seen in some time, @robertocaterpie5 has an amazing Caterpie collection. I remembered it because not only is it all items that include Caterpie, they also have 8 documented variations of Pokemon marbles.

Those Nidoking models are incredible.

Are any of them official? I remember seeing someone link a custom model maker.

Thanks for the tag @zyxxke . I did not think that just collecting Japanese promos was unique.

I did not see them mentioned so I will also tag @Metapod_museum . As the name suggests, the aim for him is to one day open an museum which showcases everything related to Metapod. He also despises Kakuna!

Cheers!

I collect foreign language holo variants as my main thing, something about finding cards that arent known much about makes me feel like a real pokemon professor :sweat_smile: and i also find it cool when it works out with a variant and signature

Woah! Definitely want to see more pictures of that

Heyyy,

The giant resin figures none are official, Bandai did make last year the nido family in the scale figure set (my set is still in the box somewhere aha), but it’s still small compared to the big ones).

Have a great day !

Will you do Unlimited afterwards ? Good luck with Korean :laughing:

You’ve hit the nail on the head why I’m not doing this for unlimited Base. The Korean unlimited cards are extremely difficult to find. So, the 1st edition sets were enough of a challenge to complete.

Figured this is a good place to ask. @Dyl if I want a psa 9 1999-2000 dragonite is my best bet to grade one myself? There is nothing on eBay except a 10

There are 10 PSA 9s graded. Most will be outside of the U.S. Your best bet is to create a WTB thread and hope that someone sees it. If you can find a raw mint copy, go ahead and grade it yourself. However, the chances of this are very slim as they are hard to find.

This is going to be nearly impossible it sounds like. I see the pop report for 10s are 2 :smiling_face_with_tear:

You can try to reach out to @jac2357, thought I think he mostly graded with CGC prior to their label change. If he has extras, maybe you can crack to PSA?

I collect Aron cards!

Here is a sneak peek for the masterset I am slowly working on… it will include every language and EX-era code and will probably take years to complete :sweat_smile:

Yeah, it’s a monumental pain in the ass. As bbobrob mentioned, jac2357 is good to reach out to. @TCAGaming may have additional 1999-2000 copies laying around.

Yeah I know the struggle, I’ve been searching for the Base set Korean unlimited Nidoking and nidorino for ages. I recently missed a PSA6 mislabeled one on Ebay :upside_down_face: Looking for a binder copy.
