WestInPieces's Japanese LV.X Collection (not data friendly)

Hello :blush: I am new to the forums but I have been in the discord for a little while. Got back into Pokemon around the 2020 hype, got lucky a few times and now have a pretty nice collection (if you like LV.X :grin: ).

There are 72 unique LV.X artworks that I know of, and I want to collect all of them in mint+ (someday gem mint+) condition. Currently I own 49 of these already graded mint+, have 21 either at PSA/CGC or waiting to submit at cheaper tier, and am missing 2 in mint+ condition. The majority of LV.X cards I have aquired I have bought from Japan and graded myself, with some exceptions being all of the PSA ones which I bought back when they were cheaper and Magnazone/Azelf LV.X that I have pulled myself in the last year. I haven’t graded the azelf yet hoping to send to bgs.
Here is a album of my collection: imgur.com/a/5qpeXwH

My Favorite LV.X Cardis tough since I really love all of them :blush: If I had to narrow it down to my Favorite 2 it would probably be Gengar LV.X and Pikachu LV.X. The Gengar has really sick artwork, and the Pikachu LV.X I really wanted as a kid but could never get, since it was a Japanese Exclusive and none of my friends had it for trade :sob:


The most difficult LV.X card for me to track down in mint condition was the Infernape LV.X Promo, which was a lower level touranment prize card and was distributed in a bag /w a coin which very easily indented the surface of the card. I have gone over my copy in detail and i don’t believe there is an indent, but PSA will probably find one whenever I get around to sending it lol.

Honorable mention here is the Luxray LV.X I have in a 9.5, these were used extensivly in play at the time of release and I was very lucky finding a seller who had 2 mint copies for sale and instantly bought both lol. Most of these that I see would grade 8 or lower.

The most expensive LV.X cards I have are the CGC Perfect 10’s that I have bought, both coming from amazing e4 members @milhouse and @nasta. These guys graded them and traded them to me, and I am extremly happy to have them in my collection. I am always looking to get more perfect 10/black label lv.x cards to my collection when I can afford it haha.

My goal going forward: I would love to get a personalized signature from each of the LV.X artists, there are only 7 of them how hard can it be :sob:
That is all for now hope to meet some fellow LV.X enjoyers on the forums :blush: I post more of my collection on IG when I can, feel free to check it out at www.instagram.com/e4westinpieces/ @e4westinpieces

I love Lv X too. I gotta update the English price thread I made…

I mostly collect Japanese Lv X too, but my fave artwork is the English exclusive Darkrai Black Star Promo

How did you get the booster packs where you pulled them? Do you know the Lv. X pull rate for Japanese? I’ve always wondered.

I bought my booster packs from Japan :blush: I believe the pull rates are ~1/8 packs. I have opened 12 packs total from that era and pulled 2 so I guess I am a bit on the lucky side.
