Finally picked up a Victory Medal. Not looking to collect them all, but had to get a 1st place one to add to my promo/prize collection. Beautiful card and artwork. Love that the holo pattern is only on the medal itself.
One of the best holos from all of neo, period. Such a shame it was never in english
Little late for Chinese New Year, but just got these from Taiwan:
Packs have a chance of having a gold Pikachu Zekrom Tag team, but might just keep them sealed because they look real nice
Those look fantastic, @dreamtech ! I ordered a few as well.
And it’s not too late—the Spring Festival traditionally ends on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year!
新春快樂,牛年吉祥!
Part 2 of 3! Finally found a cd blastoise for the price I wanted to pay, so very happy about that. As a side note, now that I have the 2 of them together, Dark blastoise looks an awful lot like a remake of cd blastoise…
Been getting into the 3 birds (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres) recently. I have the base set holos coming, along with a few other releases of them. I want to build a nice size collection of these guys from a bunch of different sets. I think it’d look pretty sweet to have a few binder pages dedicated to them
now that’s a thunderbolt! always loved the colors on this one too just that weirdly bright yellow and those blues
Purchased this recently at a local vintage toy store for $5. Incredible deal in my opinion considering the regular price was $5.95. I remember having this particular magazine and looking at all the cards available at the time. It’s funny looking through it now, because back then as a kid I didn’t even understand the concept of a set. I just thought every pack was a random chance at any Pokemon card.
I am loving the visual set list this provides as I continue to collect binder sets of Base, Jungle and Fossil.
Also, it’s like a little time capsule. It’s interesting to see what was discussed, like the “Protect your Pokemon Plush Beanies” on the last page.
Generally not a swirl guy, but this was too good to pass up.
Pojo’s magazine brings back memories!
And they are right about Kabutops: “a fighter who can take it as well as dish it out” - Kabutops takes OHKOs from Scyther and dishes out prize cards to your opponent.
where did you buy those?
This week’s Japanese haul (still waiting for a base set Zapdos & Dark Blastoise to come in the mail)
Also what arrived today was an almost complete uncommon/common set of pack fresh 1st Edition Team Rocket cards I managed to get for £31. All uncommons present, just missing a few commons! Was really surprised to see they were all NM+
Super happy as I love Team Rocket

7-Elevens in Taiwan have them if you purchase packs, otherwise eBay has several sellers
