I've been picking up cards here and there for years, mostly for the illustrations or cool subsets.

Definitely a little esoteric taste, a mixture of vintage, modern, but I love each and every card. Some are childhood cards I was lucky to save, some are favorite Pokemon, some were obtained with trades with friends, and it's fun to look through them all.

With some recent pickups I've reached the point where I don't have the room for anymore in the binder, I think it's time to take out the WotC holos and bring them over to their own binder or toploaders.

Have been thinking about it actually! I gotta get around to gathering those cards.

I always love collections that are just made up of personal favorites. You've got some sick Japanese prints!

Ok that Gyarados from Ancient Origins is now on my watchlist. Also, I love the banned & unbanned pages! Well done

Thanks! Yeah, so good!

I just finished the full WotC banned cards recently, but unfortunately there are more than 9 and they don't really present that well in a binder if you want to show them all.

I love how you have a page of Japanese cards alongside their English equivalents with changed artwork, I'm been trying to do that myself for awhile. Neat collection!

Thanks! That was fun to put together because it's not many banned cards from that era, I believe just 12, but it's such an interesting set of cards. You can read more about them all here:

Thanks for sharing that, I didn't know Sabrina's Gengar was changed during localization. The Japanese art looks like he's standing there saying "I did this" haha.

Love the mish-mash of eras

Yeah, not typical what you see which is usually by era or rarity, but it's worked for a long time. I like to use each page as a sort of blank canvas.

It evokes a lot of nostalgia in me. When I was a kid, I organised by the first value in the set number, so 1/159 would be right next to 2/195 for example, and the mix WOTC and TPC cards made each page unique to look at.

Bebes search holo and fieldworker are some of my favorite cards, nice collection

Yeah! Fieldworker is amazing. I found it in the back of a random binder at a local shop and saw the Mew in the background, such a great composition.
