I’ve been loving your posts! I tried to tag you but couldn’t remember your username just your photo so called you porygon sorry. You told me about the summer road world challenge handbook that I just posted.

I’m trying to be really selective this year so have collected the CoroCoro’s but only if I can link them to a card I own as part of its story. The only one I’m still missing is November 1996 Pikachu/Jugglypuff with the appendix. That is my grail for this year but it’s so hard to find! If you ever see one please let me know because your the person who would see it I’m sure!

As far as I know, the sticker booklets were given out at Lawsons after the game released in Japan. You could go and print the photos you had taken yourself into stickers. Similar to how blockbuster did it in the West. Theres a few different colour of booklet and they are really cheap but look so cool. It’s nice just to see photos of what others snapped and each is usually unique because that person took the photos themselves and turned them into stickers (although there are some standard promo ones inside that are given out in all booklets). I think it was just one of my saved searches on mecari/Yahoo: ポケモンスナップ ステッカー

its ok i would love to be a porygon :stuck_out_tongue: yes i did find one from my seller with the cards attached. however please understand that i want that book as well. it is with the cards attached and quite expensive 400$. however if you like i can find you one without the cards attached

for the pokemon snap yea couldn’t find the book on ebay could find some sticker guide for it but doesn’t look the same.

Edit : wait im not sure which one is it. can you please send a msg of the corocoro book cover?

New Years day I was browsing mercari when I noticed a lot of PLAY promo’s for a potential steal of a price. The seller either had played during that era and these were their personal rewards, or it was all a ruse and typical foreigner bait. There where no back pictures, but the fronts looked CLEAN. It also included a picture of their player id card (which was not included in the sale). The seller had a handful of previous sales, none of them being Pokémon. I decided to join the no-back-pic buyers club and take the gamble. Here’s what I bought:













The gamble paid off! Most are in great condition, with a few absolute gems.
Some of these will be sent to PSA as they’re likely 10 candidates and upgrades for my current ones.

I LOVE that Kyogre. It has the most evil grin going and looks completely different to any other art of it.

Gorgeous gorgeous cards and really awesome find. Congratulations on being able to find them in real great condition, they look beautiful. This now means you just have to find the rest of them. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers!

Stabbed myself in the wallet & got a decent little bargain today - had £90 off that price-tag for trading in an unwanted CGC slab to boot!

If some other E4 members got a chance to visit, I wouldn’t be surprised if every inch of that shop got cleaned out!

I love the way that the holofoil lights up the crystalline design on the backgrounds of the reverse holo versions.

I prefer the vintage blastoise design, but first 4 figures is quality. I’ve been subscribed to their newsletter for over a decade!
