What's your most recent purchase?

I just got this postcard for free from Nintendo NYC :face_holding_back_tears: I’m hoping I can find another one in better condition in the future

A couple crabs today, and i also purchased a staff Electivire thanks to a lead from @cyberurchin. Both of these krabbys are kind of random purchases, ive never seen the pokai gaku cards before and he looked really cool. As for the french krabby ive read that french cards are sort of hard to come by in good shape and it was 2 usd.

Being from the UK - although 1st edition is legendary , I never saw any 1st edition as a kid and will always associate unlimited as the ā€œ1st editionā€ print and also the first Pokemon card set as it had no set symbol neither!

I also remember as a kid buying the hitmonchan starter deck and trading my new hitmonchan with an older kid, years older then me for his Zapdos base unlimited because I really liked the Pokemon. As soon as I traded it he laughed at me and said I just got ripped off…because it was scratched up but I didn’t care at the time!

So with all my 500+ PSA slabs, how I didn’t have a graded Zapdos Base Unlimited I don’t know so picked one up (and I’ll never buy a perfect one in this as the kid in me never cared before either!) (though it’s super clean :joy:)

This just showed up and I thought it was pretty interesting:

Portuguese first edition Fossil Dragonite Holo:

I had never seen a Portuguese fossil card before and quick google search didn’t turn up any photos of sealed product, just a 13 year old video of someone opening a few packs.

I was at the shop and they never have anything like this so i traded for it. Luckily i still have random stuff from packs when we went crazy last year. Im done buying cards now until 2025.

I know I’m late to comment on this, but, just noticing this…

This is the shining charizard from the neo series going into the canyon - this is an art nod to that specific card, can’t believe I haven’t seen it until now

I want to get some of these Euro cards at some point. A German friend showed me some of her collection a while back and I had no idea that the Euro language cards had cosmos holo.

Some do, but not all. I think for base set, I can confirm that Italian, Dutch and Portuguese have it, but French, German, and Spanish do not.
