And although it’s not a card I personally took a year or more to get, I still remember this collection post of Eric (@tonysandlin ), when he finally added a card to his collection he’d been looking for for nine years. Considering I had only been collecting for five years at that time, it was really inspiring and I was happy he finally found it to complete his Voltorb/Electrode collection (at the time).
The day has finally arrived! After 9 years of searching, my Japanese Legend 3 reverse holo unlimited Electrode Prime has been added to my collection. I’ve posted about this card numerous times, even starting a thread about the unlimited Legend set in hopes increase awareness for these extremely rare cards. Since I began searching for it in 2011, I’ve seen it only one time on a Japanese blog post, where I was unsuccessful in contacting the author to purchase the card. Last month, this one went up for sale on Y!J and a second one popped up shortly after on Mercari. Funny how that happens. Now that I have this card in hand, it feels like a huge weight has lifted off my shoulders.
Here is all of the Japanese Electrode Primes. In Japanese, the Prime cards have a reverse holo variant, the only language to do so.
This picture shows the three unlimited and reverse holo cards from the set. The Voltorb and Electrode were purchased two years ago, I believe, so it took a long time to find those as well.
Well, I don’t have much more to add to this. I’ve already talked about them a million times haha. There are 4 more packages incoming that contain some really nice cards that I’m excited to add.
