I recently sold a lot of sealed modern product that appreciated very quickly. Shortly after I happened upon someone looking to get rid of a card they pulled as a child. Right place right time, still can’t believe I found one that looks like this for what I paid… Merry Christmas to me :sweat_smile:

Some jp bits from my buddy Akita, and a big box from Palms Off, all the way in Aus.
2 binders, 2 slab boxes, and… A pack of sleeves.

The limited edition binder is 960 slots, and isn’t even the biggest one they do (1280!!!)

Picked up some of the heavies for the W stamp set. Only need Psyduck and Charmeleon now to complete it.

These are beautiful promos. Such a fun little set to collect.

For sure. Small set that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and packs a punch as far as nostalgia!

I bought this card because it was a great price in PSA 9 and honestly the backstory/lore referenced in the card is awesome!

What’s the lore?

Maybe lore is the wrong word, but understanding that Imakuni is a significant character, and shining is a Pokemon attribute, and the merging of these two concepts for a single card. I always thought it was Shining Imakuni because of the spotlight shining on him, but then I realized he’s also white instead of black.

Light Shining Imakuni?!?!

Interesting! I never thought of it that way. I always assumed that Imakuni was some sort of a mischievous character who just got exposed by the flashlight and it was a neat play on the word Shining. Now that you mention, he is not black in this card, but silver.

Cheers!

Bought two weeks ago, and they’ve arrived today: the Raid Battle Pikachu VMAX trio. :smiley:

These Raid Battle Jumbo cards were first revealed in August 2020, alongside Alcremie and Drednaw. Then first used at Worlds 2022 in London, although not sure if and how many were leaked from there.
In late 2022, stores received an email stating they could register to receive demo decks, on a first come, first served basis. Stores that registered would also receive a Raid Battle kit, alongside ~50 Pikachu, Drednaw and Alcremie Cosmos holo promos. So each store that registered for this received 3 x 3 Raid Battle Jumbo cards (the three different HP variants) that weren’t meant to be distributed to players, and 20 x 3 Cosmos Holofoil promos.

Here some pictures (not mine). I currently don’t have time to take a picture of the three Pikachu VMAX cards that arrived just yet. (And I already bought the Cosmos Holofoil SwSh Pikachu a couple months ago.)



These cards were also distributed in French and Italian, although I only cared about the English ones personally:


PS: They’re slightly larger than TCG Jumbo cards (unfortunately, I have to look for new sleeves + toploaders :sweat_smile: ),

Demo decks you say? Would that be this one or something else entirely?

No idea tbh. I got most of that info from a Celebi collector in a species Discord server I’m active in. I’ll ask if he can clarify what he meant by Demo Decks. :slight_smile:

EDIT: He responded pretty quickly. Apparently it were the Umbreon, Greninja, and Lucario League decks:
