1999 tropical wind, 2001 tropical wind, SSB Mewtwos, but most importantly the no. 3 pika from 97/98. It’s too damn cute. 1st/2nd be damned.

And yeah I’ll never own any of these lol

One day I want to get the full set of Mysterious Pearl, Miracle Diamond, and Wonder Platinum. They’re almost like a perfect step ladder in terms of rarity which is interesting. Pearl has about 3-4x more awarded than Diamond, which has 3-4x more awarded than Platinum. They’re some of my favorite cards from my favorite era. And I have a package coming internationally that may help me get started with these…

Unobtainable dream card: trophy Kahn

Dream cards are cards which should not be obtainable in my opinion as it keeps the chase going.

For me the dream is to compile all 7 No. 1 Trainers (Pika, TMB/SSB, Boy/Girl Trainer, Pika half/full art) which I do not think is possible for me.

Single holy grail item would be the PSA 10 No. 1 Old back Pika

Getting a Atsuko Nishida Charizard signed one day.

I’ll chase a Trophy Kang in the coming years.

I got 2 of my top 3 this past year. University Magikarp and 1st Ed Base Charizard.

maybe a BGS 10 1st edition base/shadowless Blastoise…
I’m more of a Blastoise fan…

If Pokemon made a pure gold coin, similar to the 1oz American Gold Eagle, i’d be ALL OVER THAT. they’ve already made the gold pikachu card. let’s see some gold coin!

Play Espeon and Umbreon Gold Stars. Such nice looking cards but crazy expensive.

Master Scroll is becoming too expensive to get in PSA 10 and 9. Damn you pratte, damn you.

  1. Fan Cub Magikarp
  2. Master’s Key
  3. Pop 5 Umbreon
  4. Victory Orb
  5. Victory Ring

99 Tropical Wind
Unikarp
Zapdos and Articuno Phone Cards (recently acquired the Moltres🔥)
Victory Ring
Worlds trophies
04 Tropical Wind staff
Master’s Scroll
Victory Orb
Modern trophies (XY, BW, SM)

Any trophy is of course a goal but the old-back numbered trophies are most likely way out of reach :sweat_smile:
