O yeah. Didn’t know. Never looked up those cards. Might start checking eBay after I get back from Japan.

A big milestone for me, i now have completed my Tomokazu Komiya binder with all the tcg artworks made by him. It took years to complete it but i purposely didn’t rush it to have something special coming regularly in mail and tried to appreciate all the individual artworks more uniquely this way. If not counting new releases these three ended up being the last cards i needed for this collection.
The photo may look a bit weird and i was going to upload a cropped one until i noticed that i captured in my photo someone who had wandered in to check what i was doing and i thought the end result was adorable

Congratulations! Three great cards. I also took my time with my Komiya binder. Sourcing as many as of them at LGS. The only card I am missing is the 2000 New Year Present. I never picked that up back in the day and still don’t have it. Someday maybe.?

Congratulations! I still remember the last card I needed for my collection and that was years ago now.
For me it was sad to finish a journey that took so long to complete. How do you feel with it?

@niece my copy felt like a steal when i bought it earlier this year so deals still exist for it too
@mthursty i feel very good about it, it was so long term project that i’m glad to finally finish it, and he still does new cards so i can continue my habit of appreciating the artworks bought as singles in future too
@bbobrob thanks! One of my favourite binders, different kinds of eye candy from era to another!

A pick up I didn’t post from a couple of weeks back:
Entei with a holofoil error - he’s a low shine boy anyway, but there’s a patch of holo under his belly that stands out differently only under certain angles of light too.

@gengarbrigade Great cards—especially that Jolteon!
@nidokingdom The Nishida postcard is beautiful! Curious as to what part of the 3D Top card peels? Does the back non-3D side peel to reveal something? Or are the two different backs you can have with the card actually the same card, just one is unpeeled and one is peeled? (I thought they were two different cards, but maybe this isn’t the case 
)

Aha @bbobrob another Topsun rabbit hole for us 
Basically I discovered this like really recently, while nearly completing the ultimate master set. (me thinking there was 3 sets)
(These came with gum as usual, and a pair of 3D paper glasses)
So first each card has this 3D side :
Then there’s two different backs that I call “Blue ribbon” or “Red ribbon”
And then what I thought was a 3rd set is actually the unpeeled card :
So you could peel the card like a sticker and reveal the “back” of the card (which I find weird tbh), I would find it much more logicial to hide the front (3D) of the card, because that’s kind of the main attraction of the card, being 3D.
So I learned recently I was collecting both sets and the full unpeeled set 
That’s all folks

Ohh, that’s interesting. I was under the impression that they were different cards too 
But now I know I’m looking for the unpeeled version of the Jumpluff card. Good to know!
If you’re looking for a constructed set list for the Top 3D-only cards (not the 3D reprints of the pink-border VS cards—but I’ve put together a list for these too), @Captain_Corsola has some information here and a set list based on his set here, in case you find them useful They also seem to refer to them as different back variants rather than unpeeled/peeled cards, so maybe your discovery is pretty new information!

I got this kingdra box for the kingdra card and gave my kiddo the packs. A little annoyed this morning. I was beyond excited for that lost origin staff Machamp, but after 6 days ive heard nothing from the seller and it hasnt been shipped. After 2 messages to them my order got canceled. Oh well there will hopefully be another opportunity. I also ordered the piloswine staff variant, as well as the last two for my fates collide and silver tempest staff promos, will post updates when they are here.

If one thing could never change about the TCG, I hope it’s sub $5 gorgeous full arts. Especially when you’re picky about art style and details, it’s nice to find a new card after one or two sets where none of the hits really do it for you.

@xileets The VS cards are great. Every card looks so good, but I especially like that Surge’s Raichu! Also, I didn’t know that the Dark Raichu was released as part of the Neo Discovery set in Japan, so that’s news to me!
@oorah The Skarmory card is beautiful and is the most metally we’ve ever seen him!
