My goals have been the same for years, which is complete my Voltorb and Electrode collection. Currently, I have all but 4 cards, so 2016’s goal should be more realistic. The 4 cards (all Japanese) are: E2 Voltorb 34 unlimited Legend 3 Voltorb unlimited RH Legend 3 Electrode unlimited RH Legend 3 Electrode prime unlimited RH Assuming no new discoveries or Voltorb/Electrode prints, my 5 year goal will be completed. It’s bittersweet, but I can’t wait to free up time that is otherwise used scouring the internet for cards I need haha ---

Completing all ex-series, will be quite pricey since I only have about 1/3 of all ex and goldstars at the moment 😛 ---

Likely passing on some of my favorites to people on UPCCC. Much of the value that comes from my collection is tied up in duplicates that are PSA graded. I enjoy having gem mint examples as well as respectable copies for the binders, but I am starting to appreciate the carrying cost of collecting cards in this fashion. ---

I started collecting when pokemon first came out, but i only collected english base set and japanese promos. Most i spent on a card was about £30. I stopped collecting when i went to university and sold all of my cards to fund my university fees. I only recently got back into collecting over a year ago and decided that i wanted to focus on collecting the old japanese trophy cards. Once i brought my first trophy card (TMB No.3), within a month i managed to acquire the no. 2 SSB and the no.1 and no.3 1998 pikachu’s. At the same time, I just missed out on acquiring the illustrator! ---

Here’s few major things: -do my best finding 4x missing PSA 10 1st ed. Neo Genesis holos to complete set -continue adding favourite graded cards to collection -as usual, more sealed items -binder collections for multiple ex-series sets -get rid of uncommon/common bulk + other surplus items 😁 Possibly some other goals too that aren’t so important yet. ---

I got half right at least 😊 gonna be hard to chase those as 2 of them have gem mint populations of 1, then metal energy has 2 and slowing has 3, if I ever see mint versions of these you will be the first person ill inform 😊 ---

Oh boy. Here we go. Probably the ultimate goal would be to get a LC Holo Charizard in PSA 10. I struggle to even think about that one. POP zero btw. One offs: PSA 10 Shadowless Charizard PSA 9 1st edition Dark Dragonite No Holo Error Trainer Deck A Machamp PSA 9 or 10. Needs to complete main PSA sets: 2 No Symbol Holos from Jungle 4 Expedition Holos 9 LC Holos (Possibly Upgrade 59 LC Rev 9s) 65 Unlimited Holos (out of 198). ---

Chances of finding a nm or better Charizard without issue is near impossible to find. ---
