I actually got quite lucky with buying the pika, around a year I found it on a local bin which had not been saved or watched by anyone in 5 days. I had to double and triple check, but it was indeed the lottery variant, I could not believe my eyes. There was definitely a luck component involved, but because no one else before me bought the card I like to imagine there was a skill component involved as well.
So actually Stagecoach remark of it only being in the Netherlands hold true here as well, since I bought it from another Dutchie lol
How far are you in with the Masago 10s? I have the exact same goal. Started in 2019 but then paused when the 2020/2021 boom hit. prices for many of his cards escalated very quickly back then, glad I got at least a good chunk in for pre-boom prices.
Wait. I now just realized all the eeveelutions on these arts are e n o r m o u s. Because Dynamax. Just imagine, being chased by a Godzilla-sized Leafeon.
