@EnlightenedBulbasaur , wow that is stupid rare! Are there any snap cards that have never surfaced? I could imagine that some have/will never hit the market

pkonno will print a few brrr brrrr in a few months/years!

[gladm2]

Many but most importantly an SSB trophy card. My mewtwo collection will never be complete…

[gengarguy]

Not a specific card but I always thought it would be cool to own 1 booster box of every English set ever printed.

I was extremely sad to discover there is a Mew on Pikachu Illustrator, which implies I’ll never complete my Mew global set.

Oh no…where on card? I have never noticed that.

EX Deoxys Booster box… sigh. Would love to own one as I love the box art, pack art, and cards, plus the fact that deoxys is my #2 favorite.

For me it’s the 2001 E3 Sample Set Pichu with a non-holofoil version of the Neo Genesis artwork:

Wow, I’d not noticed it before either.

@qwachansey , in answer to you question, there’s about half a mew head on one of pikachu’s pieces of paper

Look at that nice drawing Pikachu made on the bottom sheet

Snap Bulbasaur, near-minty Shadowless & First Edition Venusaur. The rest is within reach when searching hard enough and spending smart.

I’m not sure what changes more rapidly the last few years: the increase of all Pokémon card prices in general or the decrease of my savings account , but neither of the two helps when you want to one day own the rarest Pikachu card ever printed. Then again, we never know what the future may hold. Maybe if I one day have my dream house, car, and wife and kids, and all other Pokémon cards I want already in my possession, I could save for this Pikachu no matter how high that price is at that point (if it ever pops up) to 100% complete the journey. Definitely won’t be anytime soon though, that’s for sure.

I have the poor man’s version of this card (trainer mag volume 1 snap pikachu). Same artwork from the English snap pikachu promo but it’s the O.G. version.

Yeah, I got that one as well (in English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Spanish with Pikachu tail stamp, and Spanish with Pikachu tail stamp sun-discolored).

So I guess we can both say we own a SNAP Pikachu. But unfortunately not the SNAP Photo Contest Pikachu.

There is also the non-TCG SNAP Stadium Pikachu as other alternative:

@sacari

What cards do you wish you could add to your collection but cannot because of price, rarity, obscurity, ect.

For me I would have to say it’s the No.3 It is wayyy out of my price range to say the least.

A very similar dream, personally my heart fell for the no2.
Alas, I’ve never held enough value in my collection (and certainly not in my saving account) to get within reach of this card…
A PSA 10 (1998) sold recently in France, but for a hefty sum…

You’re all being hard on yourselves and I’m here to say what’s the point to collecting something if you say to yourselves that you want but will never get?

Hey I’m just being a realist. My card was very likely destroyed after the event it was from in 2001. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmmmm. For both of our sakes, I wonder how there is a way to truly find out?.
