Hi guys. Since I joined this group I’ve been looking at peoples solo card collections including Pikachu, Gyrados and Gengar. My original plan was to do just Alakazam but as I’m still buying expensive sets it seemed a little out of my price range atm. Then when I seen Aj’s pidgey collection I thought hey why not start with the much cheaper abra and karabra first. I’m starting with English then will move onto the other languages. I’ve been using Bulbapedia as my guide and have purchased my first lot of 15 abaras already. Anyone got more info on if there ever any Misprints/Error versions or secret rares that may exist of these cards? Will update with the list im using when i get home.
Here is a quick, basic run down on the card amounts. For a full list of all cards and variants check out Page 2 of this thread where I have every single card listed.
*2022 EDIT*
Well it’s been 7 years since I last updated this thread. After living abroad, buying a house, etc I’ve come back to the collection. With the help of multiple members on here I’ve managed to get every Abra print variation in every language aside from the unlimited japanese split earth card. Also made a lot of good gains on Kadabra too. I’ll update the last post with new pictures and one day when I get decent photos and work out how to make this first post nice i’ll put them all here. If you have any of my missings hit me up!
