Hi my name is Zach!
I joined this forum because I am obsessed with no rarity cards. I’ve observed the group for a while, and can tell it is full of high level thinkers, and am excited to learn more.
Currently building out a set of no rarity commons in psa 9, and holos in 8. Interested in asymmetric upside, crack and regrade, and being around other people with a similar mindset

Hey Zach! Welcome to Elite Fourum!
I just have a “Switch” no rarity from the ‘96 expansion pack right now, but I know it’s a true NR because it has four lines of text 
Have you seen this NR thread? The No Rarity cards that weren't, and the lying POP report
Apologies if so, but I found it immensely useful when I was shopping for these cards back when. Especially to crack from graded cases, as you say. I’m only linking it as grading companies aren’t always on the ball with their labels for these cards, haha, especially with Quick Start and Premium File series cards, et cetera. Sometimes no rarity old back slabs aren’t priced properly is what I’m trying to say.
Do you just like old backs or are you into newer stuff as well? Glad to have you!

Hello, you can call me Harmony or Naix (pronounced ‘nyez’)! I’m 31 now and have been into Pokemon since I was 4, and I’ve been amassing merch that entire time. I used to be super into the TCG as a kid and I built up a pretty impressive collection of Gen 1-3 vintage, but eventually I got frustrated with being unable to keep up with new releases, so I dropped that for a long time. Then I turned to MonColle, but I started losing interest around the SuMo era, and then dropped it for good when the initial SWSH era figures saw a notable dip in quality.
Now I’m getting back into the TCG in a big way, and I’ve also decided from now on to focus my merch collecting on my favorite Pokemon and human characters. My absolute favorites are Sylveon and Lillie, but I also have smaller collections of other fairies and fairy specialists (and Iono. and Eternatus).

Hi, my name is Kenna and this seems like a really wonderful forum. 
I’ve really been enjoying the deep dives on specific releases and such! I’ve been into Pokemon since I was 3 or so and used to collect the cards as much as my parents would allow me until I found the LJ community pkmncollectors and completely pivoted to merch like plush and figures by 2011. I sold most of my card collection in 2020 due to the boom cause at that point most of them had sat in a bin in storage for years at that point, but got back into card collecting in 2023, so of course I regret selling a few things! (But I kept what I considered my rarer and better cards luckily for me) I focus on collecting various species nowadays, with the Aggron line and Rayquaza being my number 1’s and number 2 respectively, but I also have card collections of various sizes for (sorry this list is LONG lol):
Karrablast, Lotad, the Wingull line, the Anorith line, the Swablu line, the Bergmite line, Raikou, Palkia, Skarmory, the Cyndaquil line, Scyther, all Oricorio’s forms, Lanturn, the Bulbasaur line, the Rowlet line, the Turtwig line, the Rhyhorn line (-Rhyperior), the Hoothoot line, the Pidove line, the Pidgey line, the Natu line, the Murkrow line, the Spearow line, the Doduo line, the Starly line, Cramorant, Delibird, Chatot, Giratina, Farfetch’,d, the Ducklett line, the Taillow line, the Fletchling line, the Rookidee line, the Rufflet line, the Wattrel line, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Golem, the Totodile line, and the Joltik line. Some of these Pokemon only have 1 small page or two, but it’s all a part of my collection. I also have a soft spot for Japanese vintage~
Karrablast is one I’m open to collecting more of in other languages besides English and Japanese, just cause he seems in low enough demand that it would not be too expensive, but it’s not a top priority as of now! I’m not sure how active I will be, but I figured an intro is a good place to start.
