As usual the pictures are way too vague on the Japanese auctions to make out the codes, but you could try to buy this ~12 USD auction (excluding shipping/fees) containing two unlimited edition 080/106 Porygon from that Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean set and hope for the best: www.mercari.com/jp/items/m46298314174/ Or perhaps ask the seller which codes they are before making the purchase, since they sometimes answer.
No idea tbh. I’ve never send a message to a seller there before. Maybe @pigeonsyndicate knows? He’s from Japan and helped me with a purchase from Mercari before when a seller refused to sell to a middleman service like Buyee.
I don’t know of any services besides my own. And also, the link that @quuador provided has been updated with photos. Check it out, you will be happy. Also, I’m happy to buy them for ya right away, if ya want.
edit: I did buy it. Ya never know what can happen with these kinds of things, maybe the guy would take it down or whatever. I figured it’d be safer in Purchased by my hands as opposed to on mercari still. Going to bed now, we can chat about things later. Night!
Also, not to turn this buy thread into something else, but honestly, I feel like you constantly find deals for other people. How in the world do you remember enough to let people know about something and still search for your own stuff?! It’s quite impressive!
Well, I look at all threads, and simply saw the wanted card was a Japanese card. So when I’ve looked on YJ and Mercari I came across that auction and linked it.
Although I do indeed know @exomemphiz collects Porygon in all languages. He recently bought the last Spanish Holofoil ex era card and a few months back also the unlimited edition Korean Base Set card. Iirc, after this Japanese card, he only needs three easy to find English Base Set cards that he wants to get at the end, and then he will own the second 100% completed single Pokémon collection in all languages and variations after my Seviper collection. (Correct me if I’m wrong and you still need any other foreign cards, @exomemphiz .)
I wrote you a message - I really appreciate it - thank you!
(And you @quuador) - Without your help I don’t think I’d be close to a complete set at all! (I also wouldn’t have caught all the foreign cards in the list you made for me )
You are correct - I need the Japanese Base set (both with & without rarity) and then the English Base set cards (excluding grey stamp, I have that one)
