What are your holy grails? Are thay obtainable or do you just see dreams about them? For me possibly obtainable card is unikarp in lower grades not that I’m actively looking for one at the moment, PSA 10 is so expensive that I only see dreams of owning one. Ofc if I had unlimited amount of money I would be proud owner of all the old back japanese prize cards and promos.
Kirisaki signature
For me it would be a PSA 10 Neo Rev Ho-oh with Kimiya Masago autograph. Never seen a signed card of him though. Close second would be a PSA 10 CD Promo Venusaur with Sugimori signature (even better if it had a strong holo bleed effect).
Korean sealed unlimited base booster packs cards packs.
A sugimori signed carddass 000 card would be badass, other than that an old back trophy.

Besides Chanseys, Super Secret Battle!
Any Non-Japanese VS Series cards from the Tropical Mega Battle. Specifially the Misprint Clair’s Mantine. I’m pretty sure I’ll never be able to acquire one though. Just too rare!
Super Secret Battle or the first ever Trophy Pikachu cards. It is extremely unlikely I will ever own these.
#2 SSB
I want to obtain the full error set of tropical winds 2009. Might pull the trigger on one of the cards.
psa 10 1st edition light dragonite and psa 10 1st edition neo discovery kabutops
missed the boat on these two. Held off getting them a year ago when they were affordable, now they are rightfully going for much much more
Venusaur 1st edition Base PSA 10
Make it the holo bleed?!
9s look amazing (often prettier than 10s)!
Had the kabu as a 1st Ed psa 9 and sold it in 2018 for whatever price cause I figured I’d get the still cheap 10 at some point. Yeah, that never happened. Fantastic artwork
Probably the Snap cards. Doubt I’ll ever own one though ;(
Base set caterpie, just always out of reach!
In all seriousness any of the old holo Japanese trophy cards pretty much. Pika trophies, ssb’s, tmbs, kangaskhan or tropical wind.
Pretty much all are out of reach at this point bar a spot of very good luck!
To keep it realistic
Umbreon Neo Discovery 1st edition Holo
Lugia Neo Holo 1st
