My goal is to acquire the following two cards:
- 1998 - No.2 Japanese Trophy Pikachu (Already got No.1 and No.3)
- Pick up an ungraded Pikachu illustrator card

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

Oh, let me know if it is unlimited! Thanks!
Completing all ex-series, will be quite pricey since I only have about 1/3 of all ex and goldstars at the moment 
Hey did you just get these graded with Barney ? X
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.

May I just ask is how long he said you have collected for accurate? If so then sir you do pokemon the right way that’s for sure!

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.

Just as a guess you need skarmory, typhlosion #17, metal energy and Ampharos?
10/111 Meganium, 14/111 Slowking, 17/111 Typhlosion and 19/111 Metal Energy.
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
mind would be finish off my base set in every langauge im not to far off now need about 90 cards and then im done

Mine would be quite humble, complete my english ungraded Rayquaza collection (only some secret rares left + that pesky gold star) and then move on to heavier drugs!

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).
It would be a lot. These cards come out of the pack with damage & centering issues. Chances of finding a nm or better Charizard without issue is near impossible to find.
1 Goal finished this year 
Hopefully can knock out a few more before 2016
