xzini's collection | Lots of new stuff

@fourthstartcg Correct, I sent in all the ex cards I bought from you and they did surprisingly well so I’m really happy :grin: Can’t wait to get them back

@nauticads Ironically it was you who got me into PSA-graded cards :grin: I wasn’t even expecting a 10 on the Charizard, it had that much of edge wear but I still wanted to send it in as it’s a cool card

I don’t have anything super special to show right now as I needed to slow down a bit after buying all the Gold Stars :grin: But here is what I got this week. I opened 8 packs of Evolutions and I think I can be happy with getting 1 FA, 1 holo and 2 secret rares. I should get more packs soon, I ordered some from Troll and Toad but I knew it would take 1-2 weeks to arrive so I decided to pick up some packs from a Finnish store to get on the hype

Reverse holos:

And a beautiful Japanese Absol Prime which I won from auction for… massive $0.01 XD I kinda felt sorry for the seller

I got my third PSA submission back today! :grin: Before I show that, I’ll show a few other things I picked up this week :blush:

A Rowlet plush! It was so cute that I couldn’t resist. I’m very hyped for Sun & Moon, unfortunately I’ll need to wait until next week for the European release.


I picked up these 2 from @cljdavis thanks a lot! :blush:

And now into my PSA return. Overall I’m very happy with my results and the only disappointment is the starter deck Rayquaza ex getting an 8. I looked it over and I don’t understand why.

I have to say the Portuguese Charizard looks amazing on PSA slab (as all Base Chards of course!) *-*

@cljdavis Thank you! :grin: I’ll surely let you know if I have any gem minty Groudons for sale in the future :wink:

@supersaiyanampharos Awww thank you! :blush: I like that card a lot as well, it’s one of my favorite Ampharos artworks plus the holo pattern makes it look even better

Ahh those PSA cards look stunning. But I can’t buy PSA cards because I know I’d get obsessed…

Gotta wait for Sun & Moon as well. Sometimes living in Europe isn’t that great!

That’s how it usually goes, I first had only one PSA graded card. Then 10… 20… And oops I started to send cards to PSA xD But I think having cards graded is great, they add something special for the visual of the card (for some reason cards look even better on PSA slab) and now I can put my favorite cards visible without needing to worry of them getting damaged

Some great things to add this week :blush: I completed my unlimited Clash at the Blue Sky unlimited gold star trio thanks to @milhouse :blush:

Some HGSS era beauties from @gottaketchumall thank you! :blush:

Won this beauty with a good price:

Had to get this one when I saw one for sale. I’ve been looking for this Rayquaza ex for a while, I think the art is really cool :blush:

Got 10 packs of Evolutions and my pulls were amazing! Too bad both of the FAs are off centered, would have graded them if they were better

And then, Mega Salamence box! My box was damaged but thankfully the contents were still in great condition. The Promos are actually so good that I think I’ll grade them :blush: The playmat is so awesome too and getting a secret rare from one of the packs was a great plus as well.

Here is my 4th PSA submission :3 You have probably seen all the cards on this thread before but I thought it would be nice to show what I’m sending :blush: (also it’s funny how Ludkins has found out my favorite Pokemon as I’ve never told him, he found it out from what I’m usually sending)

And a few picks from this week: Portuguese Base Set holos! I’ve been looking for the Venusaur and Blastoise for a while and I was happy to find those in one auction. The Machamp meanwhile… it’s from other seller and as you can probably see from the photo, it’s creased as it was sent to me without any extra protection so that’s disappointing. But overall I’m happy that I now have the big 3 in Portuguese, my favorite language :blush:

These 2 took 5 weeks to arrive. I have no idea why and where have they been, probably made a trip around the world :stuck_out_tongue:

Here are my pick ups for this week :blush: Unfortunately my Sun & Moon boxes didn’t arrive but I hope I will get them before Christmas.

First of all I want to thank @quuador again for his amazing Secret Santa gift, got some great cards to my collection thanks to him. You can check the gifts here: www.elitefourum.com/t/e4-secret-santa-2016-picture-thread/15176/54

And here are the other things I got, big thanks again @gottaketchumall for the deal! Got the Groudon ex and the Topps cards from him :blush:


Next up, gift box Latias & Latios ex *-* I really love the artwork on those, I’ve been looking for these for a while. Same goes with the gift box Rayquaza ex. Actually I picked raw copies of the Latias and Rayquaza not long ago, but decided to these graded ones as they were tens and came with two other cards that I wanted.


Bought these 2 pretty holos too. The Ninetales is one of my favorite cards from the HGSS era

Here is my first update of 2017! :blush: You will see things that I’ve gotten on the time before Christmas and until today.

So let’s get started shall we:

First of all the pull highlights from my Sun & Moon boxes. I was really surprised with the Metal Energy’s rainbow holo, it’s really pretty but camera really doesn’t pick it up.

Next up, these pretty championship promos. I’ve wanted these for a while as I really like the art on Gabite and Garchomp. They are very sparkly too which is always a plus! :grin:

Picked up the Lycanroc GX deck mainly for the Rayquaza card and for the fact that I like Lycanroc a lot. I didn’t take photos of the other cards but they have really nice art as well and the Sun & Moon energy cards are really cool. Got my deck for quite cheap so it totally was worth it!

Few PSA picks:

And last but not least, I’ve accidentally started a new collection… I want all cards with Alolan Vulpix on them! I just love the elegant and beautiful design of it. The Pokemon Center Promo is super cute overall when you look at the details *-* also, I really had to get a Vulpix plushie… the Rayquaza Poncho Pika meanwhile is a Chirstmas present from a friend of mine :blush:

Awesome update man! That energy is one of the ones I am missing to complete the Sun/Moon set. Question, did the deck come with all 13 cards? I am still waiting for mine to arrive and as a completionist I am having a bit of a hard time completing the starter decks that are out of /059 cards. Thanks buddy!

Awesome update! :blush: I am with you on alolan vulpix becoming a new collection necessity, it is sooooooo beautiful and graceful! Lovin the plushies too!
