The Collector's Showcase: Post Pictures of Any Type of Pokémon Collection!

Here's what I have right now and very soon to get even bigger.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8238/8412072537_ef9eee9549_h.jpg (My binders and stuff. The top clear one is a trade binder with cards I'm trying to get rid of)
The first page of the black binder contains a page of the B&W starters from the base set, the tin promos and two shinies. All I need is a English Shiny Samurott which at this point and time doesn't exist.

Page 1 is full grass cards

2nd page of Grass and into Water

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8329/8413172302_7b3f9a3f96_h.jpg
Back of water and into Fire which is almost naked, so that's why you can see Pikachu in there.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8503/8413172230_6b944180af_h.jpg
Fighting page, which is still very vacant and you can see the normies behind it.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8094/8413172166_2ef502759e_h.jpg
The only card in the back of Fighting is the Meloetta Pirouette forme and then you see some Colorless pokemon which for some reason look non holo

Psychic

Back of Psychic, then Dark

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8328/8413171976_6497f24529_h.jpg
You see a Steelix poking his head in as that space is reserved for Umbreon Prime but it's vacant so Steelix is glaring right at ya.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8050/8413171896_c5342ecccf_h.jpg
I have a Dragon page but there's nothing in there for now so here's a page of old school ex's. Including my former PSA 9 Lugia ex which is now a... well it's got a crease on the right so whatever that makes it.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8043/8412071857_91437b0b7c_h.jpg
All the modern EX's. Spaces waiting for Latios EX, Lugia EX, Articuno EX, Moltres EX, Zapdos EX. I no longer have a Mewtwo EX cause I sold it when it was hot before the tin promos. That and the card didn't appeal to me.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8055/8412071783_34e6010e11_h.jpg
All my Japanese full arts. Page 1. Empty slot waiting for a future Suicune, normal Lugia or Arceus EX

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8357/8412071703_08382e9ec8_h.jpg
2nd Page is mostly filled with SR supporters. Much more prettier than the English sets but lately I've become attached to English prints after seeing some from Boundaries Crossed. Below where the SR Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are is awaiting a normal Kyurem EX SR. All of them are 1st edition except Bianca. ;-; Didn't look when I was trying to get the cheapest they had.

So what's the in HGSS binder? Cards in an order to match the Johto Pokedex!

My fav starters of all time. Sadly not in gem mint condition

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8238/8412071347_b24c7560ac_h.jpg
The neo holos are my actual pulls which I am very proud of! Aside from factory scratches they are quite close to gem mint!

Some awesome cards I got from Soulwind. Except the Muk and Hypno, those were from my box.

Very expensive collection but I've seen some here that just plain poops on this one. but I'm happy with my progress but I'd like to hurry up and finish so I can stop spending so much money on cards.

Yes, I have a friend who draws on older cards. As an illustrator, I thought it was an innovative idea so I bought a few. I also have an Azumarril in there like it too.

Shiny Collection arrived for me the other day, and it's a really gorgeous subset.

Spoiler

Migawari accidentally became my stream mascot.

Out of two boxes I pulled the full set not including SR cards about five times over. Expected! Since the main body of the set is only 20 cards, so with two boxes -- 30 packs all up and 120 cards pulled -- completing it was a cinch.

Every single card is holographic.

(C)ommon cards feature just a simple gloss holo with a star inset holo, (U)ncommon cards feature a spackle gloss holo on top of having the specially designed holo cut outs on the card body (hearts on Eevee, bubbles on Piplup, et al) and a holo border.

If my two boxes are anything to go by it's 3 Rare cards and 3 Super Rare cards in each. I pulled six(!) standard MeloettaEX.

She has the same gloss holo treatment as the Uncommon cards (unique cut + gloss with speckle overlay).

Super Rares!! Plus MeloettaEX chilling in there; I missed the SR version of her, and she's all I need to have a complete + secret set! Nice and easy that is, then.

Oh and of course they're extremely holo. Glossy holos are forever my favourite, and it's so nice to see a whole set using them.

I have MeloettaEX SR on the way, so full set getto daze and all that jazz. I've got a few decks I missed out on too toward the end of the year enroute and I'm very excited.

Megalo Cannon next up! *u*

I wonder if we will get an English version of the shiny collection.....I really hope so, and I hope they keep the cards the same.

 

[viper.fox]

RE: The Collector's Showcase: Post pictures of any type of Pokémon Collection! - *Updated 1/19/13*

I hope that it comes out too, I wish they'd keep the holo too but.. knowing the english releases and how they don't do glossy coating at ALL I doubt the holos will stay the same Unless they actually pull out the stops or do a very nice special english-only print holo for them?

In general it'd be nice to see these in English collector hands because the artwork alone is just gorgeous.

viper.fox, thanks so much for posting your photos. You take the most beautiful photos of cards I've ever seen! I feel like it's really hard to capture the beauty and quality of a lot of the Japanese cards, but you've always done such an amazing job with it.

Awww yiss. Another card update. Because I've got card things coming out of everywhere at this rate which is, after such an absence and more or less hiatus, is a very wonderful thing. I got a lovely big box today which was full of many shiny, shiny goodies of which I now am going to sit down and scan for http://google.com/ since it's easier to do when they're freshly sleeved.

Spoiler

The WakuWaku kit has such gorgeous box art, all original illustrations done just for it. Worthy enough of scanning on it's own (and I probably will too.) This is the first... classic feeling gift set we've seen in a while. There've been things like the Plasma Box, and the Tornadus vs Thundurus ones, but they just don't have the same feel as the closed box ones do from the days of old. DPt was the last time we got a kit like this.

Pop the lid and you're greeted with a beautiful sight. 8 decks, all with a focal holo, just sitting there ripe for the pickings.

There are some really cute quirks in the box too; the set has these special WakuWaku rules which are all done on cards with Gym Leaders/Champions/Rivals on them. Very neat-o.

The deck as a whole, broken down into the 47 unique cards that make it more of a subset than a deck. And the coolest thing that also comes with this kit?

Our first ever Tabunne coin. Which means we finally have coins of all the 'nurse' type Pokemon. Original!Green Chansey is from the Quick Starter Kit from 1998, Blissey is from 2001's Neo Intro Pack, and now Tabunne from the 2012 Everyone's Excited For Battle kit.

All the holo cards lined up.

In keeping with the tradition of other gift box kits the holos are a mirror holo with a gloss and star inset (a familiar gloss and star inset if anyone here has recently popped some packs of shiny collection...) across them.

But wait, there's more! I've fallen behind in decks and kits, mainly due to illness/injury putting me out of work, so it's nice to slowly start getting them through albeit later than I'd usually get them.

Battle Strength White KyuremEX is a tiny little deck when broken down into the numbered cards, taking the 60 cards you get and whittling it to 18 unique ones.

But of course the star players are these two.

Since they were released in line with Plasma Gale, which had ArticunoEX in it, MoltresEX is in the White KyuremEX deck, while Zapdos is in the Black KyuremEX deck (which I need to get still.)

And thanks for the compliments! I love taking photos of cards as much as I love scanning and cataloguing them, because I feel they're truly quite beautiful and they're one of my most adored collections (and certainly the one I'm most passionate about!)

Beautiful pictures as always!

If you don't mind me asking, how much should one expect to pay for that box of shiny goodness?

Team Plasma Battle Gift Set and WAKUWAKU cost me $92 shipped.

That's not as bad as I expected!

Decided to take some fun pictures of my bulk and Ultra Rares today:

Spoiler

This is a huge chunk of my collection (minus 5-6 binders and some bulk):

Here's a bunch of my bulk sleeved up and ready to ship:

These are basically all of my Ultra Rares. I don't keep them in binders.

This is a special binder only for ex's and Shiny cards (I don't normally sort it like this).

That Deoxys is amazing! Where do you get these Japanese cards, and why are you not trading me your Japanese Electrodes and Voltorbs??? lol
