What are Your Top 10 Collection Cards (That you Don't Own)?

Happy 2025 everyone!

As the title asks, what are your top 10 collection cards that you don’t own yet?

It will also be interesting to know if the majority of these cards belong in the modern (Sun & Moon to current) or vintage eras (pre Sun & Moon).

What ERA do your Pokemon card collecting goals focus on?

  • Mostly Modern
  • Mostly Vintage
  • Nearly Equal for Both!
  • Neither - what’s an era?

Personally, I am currently pursuing both vintage and modern, but modern is less of a priority because of the available supply, regardless of the ongoing price increases.

Happy New Year!

Can’t afford to have any goals at the moment but if I did they would all be Base-Legend Maker in nature. Certain booster boxes, high saturation Base and cosmos Fossil being at the top.

Would love to hoard recent modern cosmos holos like the Doublade from the Aegislash ex Box or the Iron Jugulis from the Knock Out Collection but if I don’t have any money for actual goals then I certainly don’t have any for minor shit like that.

I feel like the XY era is neither modern nor vintage…

Anyway, I’m missing five vintage cards (Japanese SNAP; German and Spanish Surfing/Flying Pikachu promos) and four XY cards (four Japanese Art Academy Pikachu) rn. As for the 10th most wanted card I’d like to add to the collection, I guess I’d go with the Japanese Glossy Keiji Kinebuchi Ivy promo with shifted artwork, or perhaps any of the prototype/Sample cards I don’t have. :person_shrugging:

I don’t have any specific goals at the moment, sort of taking a break before tackling more, but what I need the most out of what’s missing is the Fossil 3rd print Haunter. It’s unreasonably hard to track down and I’m not in a position to buy it in a set or slabbed.

So I guess that makes it vintage.

Regarding my current collection, I’d only go for :

  • 2005 Play promo Umbreon
  • any #1 #2 world champion trophy
  • Moonbreon lol I had 2 opportunities to get one for $4000 only few months ago… I always see better card oppotunities to spend my money in, so I never bought any, not even a PSA 10.

Currently getting a big card, so I’m taking a break for few months.

Which one did you decide on?

I’ve got only few cards in my mind which would complete/improve current older collections:

PSA 10 1st ed. Neo Genesis Typhlosion 17/111
PSA 10 Skyridge Charizard 146/144
PSA 10 1st ed. Mew gold star 015/068

Just like before I’ll keep looking these silently but won’t be upset if I can’t get them, the run so far has been pretty good anyways.
