Verteme's Gold Star Rayquaza quest

Collecting
1

Tired of posting in the Gold Star and shining thread, so deciding to put my journey here.

  1. 14 cards have been sent to CGC and most orders have been shipped out. I’m planning on sending 1 more sub out soon before I completely stop and just sell full bulk
  2. My mom just made a agreement that if I do EVERYTHING (and I mean EVERYTHING) I need to do, she’ll help me get the full star (most likely means paying it in full). This means I can use my funds for other important items like the 5000 present gift 075/l-p promo I’m looking at.
  3. If anyone has cool rayquaza cards they find for a deal and or have any interesting or rare rayquaza cards they want me to see, please let me know!

I’d go a step further and just go all in on Rayquaza Gold Star and get a decent looking copy. One you will be proud of and happy with forever. Plus it will happen sooner if you go 50/50 on it with her.

probably my favorite rayquaza just because it feels so otherworldly and they start around $20 on ebay (you can get a little less direct from jp if you’re already placing a proxy order)

also, i’d recommend picking up the _'s PLAY promo because it has been getting pretty expensive recently, and could also be argued as the best rayquaza card artwise

UPDATE: Lowered the price for my Pokepark blue to 1300, lower than almost all PSA 9 listings. Unfortunately it didn’t stop people from trying to offer me lower :sweat:

Also if anyone has a gold star that they think I’m interested in lmk!

Thats about it, happy collecting!

So Verteme, when you finally obtain the card is it going to be raw or graded? If graded, which grader and grades are you looking at?

probably raw, if graded it would be a PSA 4 or less. Might even do japanese.
