@brendantheclayboy Wow, that’s beautiful! Thanks for the advice, this seems like a very good method. But I was just wondering, did you ever had any damage-related issues with the rings?

Absolutely not my good sir. Firstly, you can’t have a good binder without D ring. And get a quality firm one and don’t cheap out.
Second and also important is I store my D ring binders on their face and not vertically. I do that with my standard zipper ultra binders but for my vintage it’s all D ring stacked. Never put too many pages. Full of cards you want it to never pass the ring, the spine should be pretty much a perfect 90 degree angle with the face for a flat closed binder, and don’t impatiently flip 20 pages at once to get to a specific page and you’ll never have a spec of damage. This is also assuming you don’t store it in a lousy place. But that goes for any cards really.
Hope that helps!

Did you know there are two versions of these? They accidentally mass produced the wrong artist. Kimura corrected ones are a lot more rare.

It has been a huge month for Slowpoke fans! I’ve got an order on the way from the new Kagawa Pokemon Center opening, and the Jeju Island event in Korea 
I’ll post pictures in my collection thread once everything arrives, but here’s a few highlights I’m especially excited about:

I managed to scoop up a Special Delivery box from the Pokemon Center a few weeks ago for $50. Just got it in today and got extremely lucky! I especially love the playmat, my wife is gonna freak out when she sees it all!

The other cards in this series are good. But this card is very special IMO. Even compared to Yukiko Baba’s other artworks, it’s quite unique. I’m amazed that the art department dares to create cards that are so abstract and probably won’t appeal much to children.

I want to say these are my final purchases of 2025 other than my Secret Santa gift… but you probably all know that isn’t true 
My 2 Favorite Pokémon in 1 card Tag Team C:
I usually don’t like Weiss and this is my only Weiss card, but Frieren was one of the best animes I’ve ever watched
