I will be cutting back on what I collect in English.
Officially bumping this because it is now 2016

Revisiting my goals as I’ve pretty much completed my defined goals for 2016 in the last couple months of 2015…
- PSA 10 Darkrai EX Full Art (Breakpoint) in both Japanese and English
- Complete PSA 10 Japanese set of Team Rocket ex cards (Need Zapdos, Scyther, Articuno)
- PSA 10 1ED Moltres EX from Flight of Legends
- Continue to collect Japanese EX series
Probably going to stop collecting as the CAD dollar is way to down and anything from USA is 1 1/2 X the price.

Mega Alakazam is just around the corner, so I’ll probably be collecting PSA 10’s of all his EX/MEGA/FA cards in both japanese/english when they get released. I’ll probably weigh some of the lighter packs with his art to be graded as well.
I got most of my goals done in time for 2015. The New Year Present was my biggest goal.
For right now my goals for 2016:
- Complete Gyarados Collection
- Get XY Promos graded
- Begin looking for other language Gyarados
- Replace non-NM cards with NM/Mint variants
- Start Pokedex Collection through 2nd Gen (might do 3rd but unsure)

The Australian dollar is exactly the same at the moment. 0.70c to every one USD. Really does affect the final price when purchasing.
I know I have a stack of different goals, but aiming to just chip away at them over the year. See how close I can get 
Goals for 2016: -
1st Edition Base Set - PSA 9 - [37/103 acquired]
Misty’s Trainer Deck B - Complete PSA 10 set - [11/13 acquired]
*Currently have the last 2 cards in PSA Mint 9’s.*
Brock’s Trainer Deck A - Complete set / Mixed grades - [0/12 acquired]
*10 cards currently in transit.*
PSA 8 No Jungle Symbol Complete Set - [2/16 acquired]

Either way, going to be a very expensive year 
My goal for 2016 is spending less money on Pokémon cards.
Couldn’t achieve this goal in 2015, 2014, 2013 ,2012, 2011 … 
Real goals are:
- completing my Legendary Reverse Holo set
- keeping up with all the new English and Japanese Promo’s
- complete my Jumbo collection as much as possible

Well my plans aren’t all glamorous as everyone else; Personally just going back to where I left off as a kid and completing the Base set. Haven’t really gotten my feet off the ground on this one and havent really cared about the grade of the cards as long as they are nm/m shape I’ve been happy with it. All I really have to restart this set is a PSA8 Zard , PSA10 1stED Machamp, and some ungraded nm Alakazam, Nidoking, Gyarados. So much more to go…
My overhaul goal:
-As many Lugia cards as possible
-Finishing the XY Promo Cards (English)
-Completing my RH Ancient Origins/Breakthrough Set + EXs & FA’s.
- Ancient Origins Only need both Lugias(Go figure) and MRayquaza.

I’m missing Scoop Up and Nidoran (M) from the Legendary Reverse Set. And maybe I have to replace some cards but I’ll have to check.
The XY Promo’s, just have to keep up with them. Both English and Japanese
