So I came across this Ash’s Pikachu GX. It’s the only Ash’s Pikachu that has a full art and it’s exclusive to Japanese and Korean. It’s on a dip, and even then I think the price is really low for a card that is JP and KN exclusive, apart from being the only full art of Ash’s Pikachu.
Additionally, the Team Rockets mimikyu GX from the same set is one of few cards with Jesse and Hames on it and also a rather cheap card. I got the KN version of Ash’s Pikachu at $109 (with import fees sadly 😭) but it’s def a nice card to have in the collection. Lots of the cards in the US that aren’t graded are played-damaged so if you ever come across a nice one, I’d say go for it

Recently reorganized my binder.

The first pic is some of my favorite arts/artists with the bottom three has honorable mentions and a space for bulbasaur when I get him haha

The second and third pic id say are my big pages, happy to say a lot of these I pulled myself!
I also have pages themed in color/type

A pikachu page

A page of some delta species of artists I like and cards with matching arts (the top three; ekans, hoothoot and dwebble all have one of three legendary birds. Bulba/ivysaur connecting art , slowking/wartortle connecting art, hypno/clefairy connecting Komiya art)

A pink page

Lots of Galarian Gallery

And finally some honorable mentions I couldn’t seem to find a spot for haha

Recently broke $10,000 in my personal collection! I’ve seen portfolios far larger than mine but I like this little achievement for myself haha, I collect mostly singles but have bought quite a bit of ascended heroes bundles that I keep in a seperate portfolio for vending.

Apart from breaking $10k I also just broke +50% returns on the cards I have set prices for, the magikarp I bought at $185 just a couple months ago before it shot up in price, that’s a nice one I’ve been riding a high on lol

Seeing your research of cards and learning/knowing which cards to buy and when really goes a long way.

Im not familiar with how PC ETBs perform, even for those etbs that aren’t the best. But I assume any PC ETB is bound to go up right? So should I invest in perfect order PC etbs?
