Pretty happy about this one. Weirdly enough I actually like the 8 (turn it on its side and it becomes infinity) although grade for these cards in my view is somewhat not so significant.
All hail “Sugimorori”
Edit: Even though 10s seem to have a premium and better condition, I’d like to think as if a CGC 8 means it was more likely actually play tested by Akabane and not just kept in a folder or stack untouched
Not the best condition, but they were cheap 
After receiving these I’m down to needing 5 Korean cards so close yet to far 
And picked this up as iv only ever seen one pop up before. (I don’t search Japanese based sites so that could be why)
Just purchased him this morning. One left for the first page of the staff side! I couldve saved quite a bit if i bought the cheaper one but there was a scratch right across the prerelease logo so i might have overpaid a little but thats ok since this one looks great. Also grabbed a reverse holo expedition kingler for the crab pages. Raichu Staff is next and it will be a little while since they arent very cheap.
Definitely my favourite collection thread on e4 love following your additions. That Entei is fantastic
Didn’t want to shell out for the full uncut sheet but snagged a piece I love from the first theme deck I ever bought at Waldens bookstore when the TCG first came out. This is interesting as well as its the UK variant.
I get it …it’s cut but it doesn’t bother me especially being a historic piece in my eyes. If you are interested the seller has several more cut pieces from various sheets like theme decks and common mons sheets as well as a ton of UK full sheets some of which I have never seen before. Apparently his dad worked at the print factory and would take them home and cut them up for him when he was young to play with.
I am so grateful you guys are amazing thank you so much
Very cool and a bit more manageable to display than a full sheet Id be interested in knowing prices to see if I could get something similar to what you have.
Since this was coming from the UK I ended up at 600 shipped for this piece. If you or anyone else wants a link to the seller as well as pictures of the partially cut sheets/full uncut sheets let me know and I can DM you those.
Thats a really good price for a cool piece. Currently out of my range but maybe for a 2025 goal. Thanks for the info!
Just got this too… i could only find one other copy online, wondering if its rare? Ad says from 1995 dunno
This one is a bootleg
thank you for letting me know, ill hang onto it still, just cause i like the bootleg artwork “surfing pikachu” on it ha! i mean… card number 1123 lmao
I have a couple snorlax bootlegs just because they look cool.
Never knew the Hanafuda cards existed and just loved the simple art of Psyduck. The color contrast is great and its a nice detail that the coloring is outside of the actual borders.
My obsessive eBay watching led me to something unique . A sealed Dark Charmeleon with the Silver Stamp 
rather than the more common Gold Stamp 
version. I’ve personally never seen a sealed copy before so I’m very excited to add this to my collection.
