I think for the first time i have a list of goals i am motivated to accomplish instead of random hunt cards that i’m hoping to miraculously find. Naturally my main goal has been my slime army for the longest time but i’ve been adding a lot of side collections to keep things fun during last few years, mostly consisting of bulk cards with cool art to keep it under control. However now my time for collecting has narrowed so much that i can’t keep up with everything, i’m always on a lookout for new slime stuff but now i want to complete all my side collections during 2024 to be in situation where i can just concentrate on grimer and muk and buy all the new releases for my ongoing side collections. I’ll properly list it down to see how close i’ve gotten if i don’t fully make it, but i hope i’ll make it since it’s basically all just bulk with few ex era holos.
-Collection of selected japanese promos (only one of these with a bigger price tag, hopefully killing this goal soon): cd promo charizard and venusaur + hungry snorlax left.
-Tomokazu Komiya art collection: 17 cards missing + new releases during 2024
-Bulk card collections from other artists (sowsow, kanda, single page selected artists): 58 cards missing + new bulk releases from sowsow and kanda
-Pokedex, a single card from every pokemon: 23 cards missing + new pokemon with cards, without rule box
-Selected collection of cards with connected art or story: 43 cards missing + possible new bulk releases i like
-Single pages of different pokemon types and pages of my other favourite pokemon besides slime: 70 cards left
And in addition to these i do still have that one card to hunt without any great chances to predict when (or if) i can get it since i’ve made the decision to go after that cosmos foil fossil muk. I’ve already gathered funds for it for months but really no idea when one pops up for sale and if my funds are sufficient at that moment. And ofc i’ll be adding to slime army when i bump into reasonably priced new items.
