Why did you sell your original collection? What did you sell? 
I suppose it must be quite fun to start over though!
I was having a tough time financially, I sold a PSA 9 Coro Coro Mew, like multiples of every holo from base-neo4(japanese).

Congrats on rebuilding your collection and returning to the hobby!
If youāre interested in a āholy grailā Shining Mew, Iāve got one factory-sealed ā still inside the actual Corocoro magazine. Iāve also got some factory-sealed/no magazine Shining Mew cards, too. PM if youāre interested 
Despite all of the super shiny and rare cards, it was the picture and story behind the Pidgeotto that appealed to me the most. I LOVE when people have stories to tell behind seemingly unimportant cards like that.

Awesome pidgetto. I remember getting my first pack and
Opening in it, the rare was a trainer bu i cant remember which. I remember gettif a ghastly in it however.
Thanks for all the comments and kind words people
Frost and Lame(not ;p)- Yea the Pidgeotto is a really special card Iām really happy it actually made it all these years thru the reckless 4th grade trading and the massive card dumps of a few years ago. Never got lost in time like lots of others.
Anyways, I got a few new cards! Not many, or anything really spectacular, but just a few little additions Iād like to share
I bought all of these for a very fair price after randomly stopping in a comic book store I just so happened to be passing by driving tonight. They had many more too, everything with the exception of like 6 cards were priced either very fair or very low. They have a 1/e Base Zapdos in really really good condition for $35, and singles were 20% off tonight too. I didnāt have enough on me for that though -.-, but anyways hereās what I grabbed!
and
The Politoed, Umbreon, and Espeon are all in M/NM condition, the base set ones are lightly played, not too bad. I only paid 9$! I thought it was a great deal. Especially for a random store that just has Pokemon Cards that have probably been sitting there for 4-5 years and not many people look/buy them. Iām gonna definitely be back to get more, probably gonna snag that Zapdos sooner than later. I also have a few goodies coming from eBay and a trade with a board member 
. Will post when they arrive

Newest addition!
Iāve always thought this was a beautiful card, but never bought one. It looks just as good in person as it does in pictures, absolutely adore the artwork and holo pattern. Also my first E-series card of my new collection! Definitely a magnificent addition. Hopefully more updates to come

Great addition for sure:)
Thatās an awesome addition to your fast-growing collection.
Iāve always liked the e-Series McDonaldās set. So much fantastic artwork.
er mi gerd CUTE MEW CARDS
Awesome Slowpoke
Yea the McDonalds series artworkās are great! I really, really want to get my hands on a sunset Mew lol. I am not sure if Iām gonna look to complete the McDonalds set or not, but here is an update of some really awesome cards I recently got!
Friday, at midnight my girlfriend and I drove out to walmart so that I could pick up a copy of Pokemon X(omg I love it), and I never really buy English cards or anything, but I saw this tin and I really liked the artwork, and Lugia is one of my favorite Pokemon, so I ended up coming home with this
But hereās the good stuff
I actually think this is the first VS card I have ever owned! I absolutely love the artwork on it, this has become an instant favorite of mine
I realized I didnāt have any holo energy cards, and I have always liked the Rainbow Energy since it first came out, so I got the holo VS version, I like it a lot, really pretty. EDIT - OMG I just realized this isnāt 1st edition after looking over my post! This is an outrage! . Lol itās not that big of a deal, but damnā¦ I did just notice that.
I got my slowpoke a friend!
And finally, a vending Articuno. I wish it was the quickstarter version, but Iāll settle. Iām still salty about losing that auction for the Complete Quick Starter, sniped with one second to go . oh well, iām sure iāll have another chance one day, and Iāll be ready.
I still have a few things on the way that Iām really excited to receive and share with you all! But they are coming from out of the Country so it may be a while. And Iām currently in the midst of a deal for something really, really special, I just hope it works out because I just hit a slight road bump in the deal. Anyways I hope you all enjoy my pictures and cards! And thank you all again for your comments! Iām glad other people enjoy my cards as much as I do, it makes collecting worth while . - Nick
Some very nice additions - your (re)collection is building quite nicely!
BTW I may be able to provide a red green sealed mint quick starter set if you are interested.
Getting sniped sucks. The amount of times ive regretted not upping my initial bid after losing out on an item.
Articuno Looks sweet as lemonade though dude
All VS Cards should be 1st ED?
False. The Promos are not 1st editions.

I didnāt know the Promoās werenāt 1st edition, I was very confused when I got the card and noticed it wasnāt 1/e(after posting it here), because I too was under the impression all VS cards were 1/e.
Anyways I have an awesome update! Just got some cards in the mail that Iāve been waiting for for weeks, and they are sweeeet.
Firstly, here is some really cool stuff I got from Cujocuyo that are just great additions to my collectionā¦
Sealed ANA Zapdos/Moltres folder. These are such great cards, and I love that theyāre sealed, but also sad that that I canāt really hold them or put them next to other cards/binder or whatever(technically I can but Iām not taking em out)!
ANA Articuno/Dragoniteā¦ This Articuno is one of my favorite artworks of all time, I absolutely love it and have never had this card before(never had any ANA cards actually). And the Dragonite brings back so many memories of the when I was in 4th grade going to go see the 1st movie like 10 times just to get all the promoās! Good times.
Cool Porygon is one of the coolest cards I own
This has been a card Iāve wanted since it was released and never got it, it is one of my favorite Pokemon cards EVER. The artwork and colors are so amazing. I remember this is one of the very first gen 2 Pokemon cards I ever saw/heard of, the other one being a āPikabluā(Marill), and I wasnāt sure if the Marill even existed, but I saw a picture of Yadoking online and wanted it so bad. I canāt remember if I saw this before I saw the Japanese Southern Island set or notā¦ hmmā¦But I do remember it definitely being about gen 2 and I was just so excited.Awesome card.
Some CoroCoro promoās. Computer Error, Mistyās Staryu, and Meowth
McDonalds Pikachu and Charmander! Iām starting to think I may just complete the entire McDonalds set since I already have 4 of the holo ones lol. Snagged these for a really really good price in an auction a few weeks ago!
All my McDonalds cards
Hope you all like them! I sure do! Unfortunately I probably wonāt be getting a too too many new cards in the near future, only going to be getting any through trades! But who knows, most of these came from trades and they are really cool cards that I really like and was going to purchase anyway . Thanks for looking everyone

My first 1/e Base Set Holo! And I got it for only FOUR DOLLARS! Yes, you heard right, 4$. Crazy. It is in great condition too. I feel like itād get a PSA 8 or 9. So happy 
That is a great buy and looks in very good condition too!
Yea itās in very good condition, they also had a 1/e Base Nidoking that I really really wanted, but it was priced at $37.99 and I canāt really afford to buy any cards right now, but for 4$ that is an obvious exception lol. Iām confused as to why the Zapdos was marked 3.99 when the only other 1/e base card they had was 38, they must have known that 1/e base set have valueā¦ weird.
I only went to this store today to get some supplies(sleeves and a binderā¦ still left without a binder =/), and they have a huge book of singles, mostly WotC English cards, and most are priced just 1$(I also bought a Base Raichu for 1$ today while there), and while browsing the book I saw the Zapdos, which a few weeks ago was priced 35$. I wonder if someone switched it with another card by accident and it went unnoticed. Iām happy with it though!
I also love the Yadoking I got in a trade from Cujocuyo(in the post above Zapdos), I just love looking at it, such a great, vibrant card.
