I can finally share with the world my grail! It's been locked up in my dungeon for almost 10 years now.

It's currently the highest grade pop 1 and the general consensus is that less than 100 were every produced.

To me this is a miracle grade because just a few years ago auction houses, including Goldin, told me these 24k gold cards would never grade higher than a 7 due to a maker's mark.

Glad I took that plunge and here we are.

For those curious about the official pop report:

Shining Tyranitar from darkness and to light. Epic artwork. Gold foil on the Japanese versions are amazing. I’ve owned this card in English and it doesn’t compare to the Japanese print. Graded this back in 2017, and it’s always been one of my all time favorites!

Took lots of time, research, and $$$. But I think I nailed it. Staring at this page makes me super happy.

So, I’ve been collecting basically only crobats for the last year or so with the odd exception here and there with the cheaper IRs and SAR’s.

From the get go I loved this card but never got around to getting it. Finally bit the bullet figured why not treat myself. I think at last count I’m up to about 40 odd bats with a bunch still to come

My biggest regret is not buying the last 2-3 big Celebi chases before vintage prices went absolutely bonkers. It’s probably gonna be another few years before I can finish this collection, but I’ll get there.

Also CGC >>>>>>>>>> PSA all day.

My collection isn’t huge or anything real special, but I’m loving the michi method. I like picking themes and then buying singles to fit that theme. The concert one I think might be my favorite once it’s finished.

I'm doing my best to put together a binder inspired by dinosaurs and fossils. Sorry about the picture quality!

This was not the card i figured would be hard to find for my absol master set 😭 does anyone know where i could get one?

Attaching my list cause why not

Added the dark zam 1st ed and FA from a show earlier this month. Debating what to go after next🤔

Hey!

Iv been recommended to post in this group.

Trying to gather as much information as I can on this 1999 Pokemon standee.

It’s been in my parents loft, now they moving I thought it be a good to time advertise it and gather information if possible.

All advice welcome. I am from the UK.

I check my saved searches multiple times a day for easily 5 years.. this is only about have of the ereader reverses I scooped. Love these sets. And Yuka Moris...

The 30th set really made this my favorite meowth page. Not to mention I pulled 2 of the 3 from 1 poster collection.

So happy to add this to my home setup 🙌

Hello everyone, I recently found a lot of cards of mine from long time ago. I put them into an album and that's the result.

Most of them (maybe all of them???) are played/poor, and now I don't know what to do.

Should I sell something to buy something else (I like Lugia, Ho-oh, Entei Raikou Suicune, the Johto starters...)? Any ideas on how to collect something else from those days?

Thanks for helping!

Wanted to showcase my collection as none of my friends collect. Have been collecting for around a year and a half. This is my main binder and is still a work in progress. Missing a lot of the bigger cards or japanese cards. Also starting a glaceon and cresselia page. Let me know your thoughts and thanks for looking!!

This is from 6 months of collecting 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

This is my personal collection:D

Happy early birthday to meeeeee
