As for my own recent purchases: more cool and unique Pikachu errors seems to pop up recently…
First this XY Evo Pikachu & Ponyta pair with red tape at the back (and the back is printed on top of the tape). I like that it’s a pair of two connect cards, and also that the Pikachu has the largest piece of tape. As you may know, I’m a sucker for any variations and misprints of the Base Set Pikachu artwork.
Next another NFC card, the Halloween 2023 Pikachu, but just its holo layer. Since the one I bought didn’t include the best quality picture in the auction, the first picture below is a better example of the same card from a different seller, and the second picture is the one I actually bought:
I also coincidentally came across another LPPCollecting stamped Pikachu, this time for the 22nd anniversary of LPPCollecting on an Italian Pokémon GO Pikachu. Although I’ve stopped collecting officially released foreign cards after the 25th Pokémon Day, and this one isn’t even an official release, it was just 3.50 euros including shipping, so this was a no-brainer to buy.
And last, two more Seviper Kraks in colors I was missing: red and turquoise. Now I just need three more colors (blue, dark brown, purple) out of the total fifteen to complete the set, although I have yet to see even a picture of Seviper in any of those colors.
This is the first feraligatr we have seen for a prerelease promo, and first of his entire evolution line. We have a bayleef from unseen forces, and so far none from the cyndaquil line, which i personally find strange. There is an astral radiance set stamped hisuian typhlosion that was a gamestop and other store giveaway promo though.
Good to know, thanks! Been interested in various Feraligatrs and this one just jumped the list. Now if only there was a Grimer prerelease, that would be the dream…
I pulled a shadowless charmander
That was the only one missing
Yeah i could have just bought one but i pulled all these myself (except for 1st ed unfortunately)
So from L to R I have
Base 2, Legendary Collection, base, shadowless, and 1st edition (grey stamp)
Went to a card store nearby for the first time today and got some really exciting stuff for myself - some gen 3 and 4 rares, and a Tapu Lele that I havent had since i sold my original copy for 50 dollars when guardians rising first released! Got this one for only $3
Not a recent purchase but not sure if I shared yet. I would love some help identifying the accuracy of the source.
Worlds 2015 in Boston coincided with the Boston Open and was a major side event for anyone that wanted to sign up and play. The prizes included a playmat and either booster packs or boxes. I wonder if this was a promotional item from Nike for participants? Also not even sure that Boston Open was for golf or another sport?
