| /\ | → All existing Pikachu TCG cards in all languages/variations |
| /–\ | → *All officially released Pikachu TCG cards in all languages/variations up to Feb. 27, 2021 (25th Pokémon Day) + all Base Set Pikachu variations in all languages/variations and all English Pikachu after that date (missing 10 out of 1470) |
| /----\ | → All sealed WotC #21 Moltres promo variations (missing 2 out of 11) |
| /------\ | → All existing Seviper TCG cards (including cameos) in all languages/variations (completed) |
| /--------\ | → All English and Japanese exclusive Full Art Supporter cards (completed) |

* This is my current Pikachu goal, of which I’m only missing 10 cards right now. 
(I currently own little over 1650 distinct Pikachu TCG cards)
The bottom row is my current focus. I do have all Seviper figures except for some rare metal ones (and a Chinese knockoff), and I’m currently primarily trying to find the missing Amada stickers (especially the Amada Attack Entei featuring Seviper). I still have some items incoming before I update my collection thread with everything I’ve bought these past few months.
Greetz,

RN:
Getting a UPC
Start collecting Vs Series
my list is bottom #1, top is #6
#1 - misc. cards I like (high-graded, or raw cards I like)
#2 - completing set binders (I want to do many Japanese modern sets, Hidden Fates, XY12, etc.)
#3 - jp exclusives (low-tier trophies, promos, PLAY, etc.)
#4 - complete vintage binders (i also want to collect artsets of each set as I complete)
#5 - High-grade, high-profile cards (shinings, gold stars, 1st ed wotc holos, high-rarity JP exclusives)
#6 - grails (the idea is that my income will scale with each level, so if i get here, this is where I’ll be buying the most expensive, previously unattainable items that I want the most)
Funnily enough…last night (or this morning?) at 3 am I stumbled across pictures of some BW binders I completely forgot existed, but suddenly knew I needed. Made the purchases and went to bed with a new mini goal lol.
This is fun!
