My fav!

Love how good of a photo you took. Starring at this reminded me of being a kid again. I need to look at my binders more often :relieved:

I designed it myself. Made a CAD drawing with the shape for the 16 slabs, and ordered a DM wood machined part. Painted it and framed it

Some of my recent pick-ups!

This is the Alakazam I was super excited about, that arrived in rougher shape than expected. Looks absolutely fine in the low light, but boy that holo is scratched to hell. This is still an awesome card to have. Debating picking up another one and selling this one. May also grab the Japanese base one. Haven’t decided yet!

I need to make an effort to read this thread more often. Really positive energy here. I love to see people enthusiastic about their pickups and the wide range of cards people collect.

Love that. Seems super clean and probably just has some small dent that no one could ever see. Great value for a great card

Exactly yeah! Front is perfect to be honest, the small issues are on the back, I can appreciate a small surface dent on the top right corner, a small dent on the bottom edge and back centering is not perfect.
For the purpose that it is for my personal collection and what matters the most is the holo quality and front look, I got it for a pretty good price I think (550$ placed home)

Absolutely, this is a thread I’m always checking. Love seeing what people are adding to their collections. And I get to share in the excitement of getting new cards lol

Well I’m really behind on pictures and I’m discouraged because I have a new phone. Meaning I need to take a ton of pics!

Recently got Neo Rev 1st edition PSA 9 Ho-Oh, Suicune, Entei, Raikou. Expedition Blastoise PSA 9 and Pichu. Expedition PSA 8 Fearow, Dugtrio, Clefable, Cloyster Neo Gen 1st edition PSA 8 Pichu Slowking, Lugia, Typhlosion #17 Feraligatr #5.

Almost done with my Neo era favorites!

Also I just took my 7th spot back on Wotc Holofoil run in the PSA set registry! Coming for that 6th spot! If I ever get there I’ll max out at 5th. I’m never beating Gem Mint Pokemon or the other PSA 10 collectors :blush:

Those are some awesome pick-ups! Love the Neo Rev. I’m currently hunting for the 1st Edition double holo Houndoom.

@dragon1te I think I seen your post about it and the premium that goes along with it. It looks really sweet! I’m looking for a normal 1st edition PSA 8 or 9 of that card here soon. That Celebi and Shining Gyarados are the main 3 left that are worth mentioning. I also have to find a decent priced 1st edition neo discovery Umbreon PSA 9 soon. That and the Espeon are all I need really for Neo. Besides random unpopular cards that I’ll target next year or something lol. Definitely learned to prioritize by importance to the set. The only sets I cared to completely finish are the low pop sets. E series neo Destiny cough cough lol

Saw the Poliwhirl in a thread on here ages ago and finally ticked it off the list. Really dig the sort of ā€˜aged’ border style on the hgss cards.

This guy arrived yesterday and is in dire need of a recase but I am so pleased on the condition (only a couple of small nicks on the back corners). According to bulbapedia it was given to participants of the US PokĆ©mon Ruby & Sapphire Challenge in August 2003 so if anyone has more info than that on the distribution I’d love to know.

I couldn’t resist when I saw this pop up. :grin: When it arrives, I have both a BGS quad-10 (pop-1) and CGC quad-10 (pop-2) of my favorite artwork. I did already have a CGC 9.5/10/10/10, but meant to upgrade it to a quad-10 whenever one would get graded and available for sale.
