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 did! I have a Kimura version in my Zapdos binder 
it’s a beautiful copy too, one of my favs!! Love these cards!!
Pretty happy with this eBay buy! 21 cards from exFireRedLeafGreen including holo Ditto, reverse holo Gastly & Ponya, and this beauty.
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 entire Beedrill line from this set is amazing!
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
Amazing to see them together! Do you have the deck display boxes as well?
No I don’t! I have to be careful not to go too far down the rabbit hole from my collecting goals 
I got myself a Team Magma VS Team Aqua sealed booster (English= double crisis).
I always loved the art on the cards in the set and I think the booster design is great, too.
Very happy to see it in proper collection — congratulations.
Hope you are doing well friend. It is nice to see you pop back in again.
Cheers!
I am still alive and kicking and actually still engaging with the hobby as I am able. I have some coins on their way for my flip coin collection. But these days that’s all I can afford.
I am reachable. My DMs are always open. People reach out to me every once in a while and it’s nice to know I’m still thought sometimes.
