I just picked up a Base Blastoise today for ~$50. I’d call it LP-NM, so I think I walked away with a decent deal. Also bought a Shadowless red cheek Pikachu for a nickel.
The 012/022 Pikachu is from the Movie Commemoration Random Pack. (If you search for pikachu 012/022 on eBay you’ll find quite a bunch of them. I’ll probably have at least ten of them somewhere in my duplicated stack as well, although most are lightly played.)
Thanks to fellow E4 member, modestmudkip, I was able to purchase/trade for a booster box of my absolute all-time favorite set, which just happens to have my two favorite Pokemon on it! Aside from my complete sets, the centerpiece of my collection.
Nice, I’ve only ever seen one other holo bleed Neo Genesis Pichu and it was on a 1st Edition copy (which I tried to buy at the time for $35 but the seller was in the US and outright refused to ship to the UK ).
Ah that’s a bummer It’s been pretty tough tracking these down, that’s for sure. Most people who list them on eBay don’t realize that they’re holo bleeds, which can make it hard to tell. This Pichu was listed as just an ordinary Neo Genesis holo, but you could see the bleed in the picture even with unfavorable lighting.
Managed to find a mint condition censored Magmortar from Dragon Blade (Dragons Exalted) and it arrived today
Whilst on my hunt for this card i found that Magmortar has had some pretty cool artwork over the years.
