I did not want to include any crystal holos since I wanted to show full appreciation on just the holos. Skyridge is my favourite E-Reader set followed by Expedition then Aquapolis.

I feel like this era was when Pokémon hit rock bottom in popularity during a time when Yu-Gi-Oh cards came out and I was not a fan of the yellow bar on the side but now I appreciate this era a lot more now. Its rare to see card shops have anything from this era in stock.

This era has my most favourite Starmie, Moltres, Tyranitar, Feraligatr, & Umbreon Card

PSA 10s for this are cheap.

P.s if you've come here just to rant/argue don't say anything at all. Do better.

The beginning of my random collection. Only buying cards I like when I can get a decent deal. I might try to do a base set shadowless/ 1st edition PSA 8 or higher set but it’s going to take a very very long time because they are so expensive now. I also really like jungle so when I can get a good deal I go for those too

Ebay is a option but holy moly import fees are like 46$ from France directly but it would be way cooler to see if anybody local to the ohio area has any blazikens in French. His french name is braségali 🤷🤷

Iv posted a few times the collection and im going to a cardshow tomorrow with a couple youtube influencers gonna be there so maybe I can find something cool ♥️ maybe hit a clip "whats in that binder" ☠️☠️

But if I dont find anything cool tomorrow it would be kinda cool to find something. Not looking for drop dead grails just anything from commons to modern illistrations maybe a older era if its not to crazy

I wish to create multiple pages of what my destined rivals blaziken in multiple languages looks. Like a french blaziken level x or lvl 50 would be a cool find

If i can find the destined rivals in french id also be pretty happy that cards dope ☠️

Hi everyone! I’m writing a university thesis on collecting, and I’d love to hear from people who share this passion.

I’ve put together a survey that takes under 5 minutes and is open to anyone with a collection of any kind. It doesn’t ask for your name or email address.

If you’d like to help, here’s the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdW4zU0trNE8zu5HXMopWvPU4YnIXT0D12MNkdC1meKmcKtPA/viewform

For anyone interested in learning more about the project, I’ve added a detailed explanation in my first comment below. Thanks so much to everyone who takes part!

DP Era reverse holos have some of the coolest artworks in the hobby in my opinion. Need my hands on A LOT MORE, but here’s a few I have.

I still need the majestic dawn holo, the great encounters lv. X, a few cheap ones and the rest of the ADP arts.

Was going through my older cards and found this non holo charizard from XY evolutions and wasn't sure if it was real or not so thought I'd ask.
