It gives me great pleasure to announce that I have a rather special card. Before you get excited, it’s not like a No. 1 Trainer or anything but I believe it is my most valuable card. I actually bought it three weeks ago but decided to spend a few hours going through my entire collection to work out what I actually have and don’t have (it was very messy until I went through it).
Anyhoo, my entire collection (the thing I’m bragging about is in red ):

The Pal Cities I got cheap - £15 for one and £10 for the other (people weren’t bidding on them so I swept them right up). Haven’t found any since though, which is annoying
The Pearl I saw on Brian’s eBay page, offered loads less and randomly he accepted! I buy an awful lot from him so he’s cool about it.
That list had taken me hours and I can already see a ton of spelling mistakes in it. (I’m anal like that ) I’ll tidy it up later
LOL, Scott you had to one-up my ones! Great cards, really great cards. Are you going to look for the Top 4 Trainers card too? Make a seperate thread for them!
DJ, I only have two Pal City’s. I need the rest too! I think one of the reasons they are hard to find is because I don’t think ‘Pal City’ is the universal name for them, making it way hard to search for them on eBay. I’m having this trouble with the Masaki promos. I’m sure they are out there ready to be bought, but just can’t find any (at a non-stupid price)!
If I see some, I guess I will have to let you know now that you’ve asked, I guess our bidding wars will make some dealer happy
Oh and Scott - you don’t have to make a new thread if you don’t want to, but cards of your calibre deserve their own thread
Yeah, Scott, I really don’t mind! I was only saying that your cards deserve their own thread because of how special they are.
And poor Reina that is not great. That 1st edition Charizard is the bane of my existence. Yes I have one (I didn’t bother with the English sets in my ‘collection’ as I don’t tend to count the non-Japanese cards) but I really don’t get the hype over it.
The value of that card was entirely fuelled by hype, which is what led to the ‘fad-era’ of Pokémon history, at least in the UK. Not fun times…
It’s probably because there’s loads of them lying around, but they’re all in the hands of these one-time Pokémon fans who are now wanting to make a quick buck.
It had died down when Pokémon was just starting the EX series here (and people left the game in droves), but with the increasing popularity… it all seems to be getting worse and worse
wow those are alot of nice promo’s lol.my collection just builds often right now i have
complete VS series
near complete Neo 3 including shining magikarp and gyarados
near complete E-card 2 set
video intro starter set
japanese error ancient mew
There’s another four of those but you get the idea. They came in the best envelope ever:
But that’s not all! I also have:
Cheer’s Scott! Here’s one I’m kinda ashamed I only just got round to:
But there’s more!
(People who paid attention to the mega card stock thread might’ve inferred that I’ve had it for a while)
Finally, I’ve also got the Neo 3 binder from shpunto, but it’s upstairs and I can’t be arsed going up to grab a photo. It’s still very much loved however!
No ultra-cool trophies but a nice set of cards to pick up at the end of 2010, no?
Nice!!! I am glad it got there! And you don’t have to be ashamed of getting the grand party late. A little secret, I still don’t have the original birthday pikachu, so don’t worry
I guess I never got around to buying it. I have a sealed one awhile back but sold it because I thought it was the natta wake version and I couldn’t return it, I should of kept it but I will get around to it
nice dogma how much did the Masaki set set you back with those envelopes?still i need to get that grand party card lol so i feel left out.for me i just completed vending series 1 and 3 peeled and unpeeled and need to get around for 2
The Masaki set cost me £150 with the envelopes and inserts. I reckon that’s around the upper price point for them (i.e. pay much more and its probably not worth that much) but I love them.
I was just thinking that I should get Vending series 3 unpeeled (I have them unpeeled but you aren’t guaranteed the whole set in the third series).
I really have to start getting the old Coro Coro promos Bah, there are so many cards out there, even without the trophies!
yea your not which i hated i peeled my vending series 3 and i was missing just 1 extra card but lucky i found someone who had it and traded for it.i’m just glad for vending series 3 i didnt have to pay alot for the 18 sheets lol.good luck with old Coro Coro promos too many to even think of.
Hey legendslugia251, you don’t happen to know which cards came on which sheet? I peeled an entire series 3 also and the only card i was missing was the ooyama’s pikachu. However, I bought a lot of 100 sheets and all the #2 sheets had the extra rule card already peeled and not included in the set, so my guess is that whoever owned them before me knew which cards came on which sheet and took all ooyama’s pikachu from sheet #2. Let me know if you recall which cards came on which sheets.
the extra cards i got the ooyama’s pikachu in sheet 2 but thing is i was missing the bills pc card.but another person i know brought a whole set of sheets he pulled a whole set of the cards and got some doubles.i personally think the extra cards are always random not all the time are set like vending 1 and 2 are
The extra cards on sheet 3 are definitely random - no other cards are. There’s an old topic where I was getting horribly confused and viper.fox had to spell it out for me, I’ll see if I can dig it out after work
The story I heard from someone (don’t remember who) was that earlier prints of V3 had Bill’s PC, and eventually Bill’s PC was replaced with Imakuni?'s PC. Not sure if anyone can confirm this. Might be because the Masaki Evolution in promotion ended or something.
Also, dogma, do you care about conditions of cards, because I believe I have a complete unnumbered corocoro set from ivy pikachu to shining mew (no jumbos though), however I am pretty sure most of them are in used condition. I do have a few mint/unpeeled too.
):
) I’ll tidy it up later
please believe it is about to get graded!
I thought i am so used to the thread on the gym and just posting updates.
Bah, there are so many cards out there, even without the trophies!![archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/90/PalCityKanto.jpg[/img]](http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/90/PalCityKanto.jpg%5B/img%5D){kind=link}
