I don’t know if that’s because of Pokopia, but I really wanted Ditto cards 
I hope I can get more but they are not as cheap anymore…

Super happy to get these 2 sequential Snorlaxes, pop 6 and 53 respectively. Now I’m 2 steps closer to a PSA 10 Snorlax masterset!

Awesome! Great pickups!
Do I dare to ask, any luck with the 207/BW-P?
Cheers!

Story time! I collected Pokémon since childhood, having cards all the way from Base Set through Diamond & Pearl. Sadly, I made the decision to give away my collection to my neighbor’s grandkids about 15 years ago.
My mom kept 3 cards from my collection. As a kid, all the cards we owned were mainly pulled from packs or from our local TCG stores. One of these cards was the Leafeon LV X. from Majestic Dawn, which I am 100% certain I pulled myself. Looking at this card when getting back into the hobby, I realized this card was one of the chases in the set. Not only did I pull the chase card, but it also had 2 swirls! (top-left and top-right)
As a kid I used to go to my friend’s house and we would play with our cards on his garage floor, no sleeves or anything, and just show them off to each other. Below is my Leafeon LV X from childhood (IMAGE WARNING)
The reason for this post is my long-term collecting goal is to have all cards from Base Set through Diamond & Pearl that I consider achievable (basically RIP gold stars). For my binder, I wanted to use my childhood card, but I also wanted a nicer copy.
I present to you, the double-swirl Leafon LV X. I just purchased, like the card from my childhood. (Flashbang alert, CGC scan sorry)

My other eBay bargain arrived yesterday and the seller even included a bonus free card. I assume it was intentional given the move name on the card?
Anyway, enjoying working my way through buying singles to fill up my Pokémon Go collection

PoGo is the best! I spent WAY to much money on the set when it came out, back when you could find it in all stores. I won’t give a figure, but in my PoGo master set, I only had to buy two of the rainbows and one full art to complete it (my wife and I pulled all of the reverse holos ourselves out of packs..).
Are you grabbing all of the promos too? They are really neat.
Edit: I saw your post. The sealed boxes are so nostalgic to see! Just 2 months ago my local Best Buy had the Dragonite box that has the promo and the plastic poke ball inside. Just one, not sure how but I did buy it.

What did/do you like about the set? Great to hear more appreciation for it. I know it’s not the best but the nostalgia and love of PoGo and the low cost is what drew me to it as a jump off for collecting.
Definitely looking at getting the promos and a few kind souls here pointed me in the direction of the Simplified Chinese cards too!

I thought it was so cool having Pokémon Go be a TCG set. I was excited for Radiant Blastoise too (art is not the best, I did buy the Chinese exclusive one). I really liked it, I tell my wife all the time that her and I are probably the only people on the planet who like the PoGo set

@sean @MarkySharky I reaaaaaaaaally hope they make a set for TCG Pocket like they did with PoGo. It’s set up so perfectly for it too.

I don’t but only because I gave up playing Pocket and it would likely drag me back in!

Me too!

Hahahah yea that’s understandable. I still haven’t spent any money on it but it just got old to me after a couple months not being able to finish a deck to use before a whole new set came out to start over again. It’s a fun idea though. There are some amazing artworks they’ve made for it.

Finally got the final card for my Japanese Base set, Blastoise! Now to reorganize my binder so I can have the three sets (Japanese Base, Shadowless and Unlimted Base) together cause I love how that looks in the videos of others collections I’ve seen. I think the next set to work on would be both the Japanese Gym Heroes and Challenge sets, I forget the real names, because I need 25 cards to finish both. Then Japanese/English Team Rocket and Japanese Neo and then my main goal of finishing the sets for the cards I’ve found from when I was a kid will be completed!
I was tilted that my McDonald’s Pikachu pre-order had got cancelled when that came out, but I guess patience worked out for once kinda and got the whole set for about $38 which is more than I think the McDonald’s cards should be but oh well. I think looks good all together.
Got Iono’s Bellibolt EX for one of the four remaining cards of the Journey Together set I need, now three left and luckily it’s the expensive ones! The Finizen card was an extra thrown in from the seller on TCG Player which was really nice! Saw a really cheap jersey relic card of one of my favorite real football players Cam Wake and had to have it cause it has some dirt on it since it’s “Game Worn”. Also had to grab a card from the new 2026 Topps Series 1 set of my favorite baseball player Giancarlo Stanton so I got whatever parallel that is for cheap.
