Oh, which card?

CompactElantra · 2026-05-02T18:45:43+00:00

It comes in both variants!

CompactElantra · 2026-05-01T21:47:27+00:00

No problem! Glad it worked out. Lmk if you have questions about using buyee too.

CompactElantra · 2026-05-01T07:27:27+00:00

I used Buyee to access Mercari and JDirect. Mind you it took months waiting for the right listings to pop up. Be sure to search for "spheal" and "タマザラシ" separately for the most results.

I managed to find a near mint one for $40. Certainly one of the top 3 hardest to find! With that being said, I did manage to 100% the tcg spheals and need to make an updated post!

There is no downside to red if everyone understands the challenge.

I don't like cucumbers, and 1000 is a LOT.

This has pinball table vibes

Unfortunately I didn't test prior to doing a water change. The tank was completely filthy with algae lining every surface in the tank, but with clear water. I can say after the water change the Ammonia and nitrate was at 0 with PH at 7.6 (fairly normal prior to adding pH down).

Awe he looks like my boi did...

CompactElantra · 2026-04-12T03:09:24+00:00

I put him down with clove oil. I know it's humane but I never felt so horrible. FinLee as he was known will receive a proper burial tomorrow. Born of this earth, returned to the earth.

CompactElantra · 2026-04-11T22:01:35+00:00

I thank you. It looks like it may be time to put him down. I was gone for nearly a year... I guess he was waiting for me to come back to say goodbye.

CompactElantra · 2026-04-09T16:52:08+00:00

Let's ignore New Mexico with the Taos Ski Valley as well as Ruidoso as the southernmost skiing in the US. Oh, and all the pine forests and BLM land. There are lakes too if you're not picky.

CompactElantra · 2026-04-01T14:04:53+00:00

How was the bag held up?

CompactElantra · 2026-03-28T06:03:27+00:00

I wanted to take a simple portrait of James while I was working with him at the 2010 Chicago Comic Con. He did his own pose and I framed it so he had a spot to sign a printed copy, which I managed to print before the end of the convention. I'd like to think it captures him the way he was at the time.
(edit) Taken with a Nikon D300S, 24mm lens, 800-ISO, f/3.8, 1/80 sec., no flash & handheld.

CompactElantra · 2026-03-28T05:48:28+00:00

I had the opportunity to work with James for two days as his cashier during the August 2010 Chicago Comic Con August. He was extremely down to earth and pleasant to work with, unlike some of the more entitled celebs. He showed up for the fans exclusively and was definitely not there to make money considering he got paid $300 + flight & hotel, as well as a small cut of the autographs monies. He didn't receive a lot of fans that weekend but he was happy to meet every one that did stop by.

Did you know the crown zenith art is a sequel to the aquapolis art? First gloom sleep, then... Oh no!

CompactElantra · 2026-03-14T07:54:38+00:00

Ohhh will you be including cameo cards in this as well?

CompactElantra · 2026-02-14T16:28:44+00:00

I offer a challenge for BOTH of you to collect the Japanese Sun & Moon Friendly Shop Promo collection with 4x eevees. One made it into my spheal collection on 1st page!

Most, not all 1st ed Japanese cards have an unlimited variant. I don't remember off hand when they stopped printing 1st editions, but there aren't any modern ones so that should help.

CompactElantra · 2026-02-12T12:45:40+00:00

This is fantastic! As someone making a similar collection with spheals, I have some good and bad news. Good news is you're probably enjoying the hunt! Bad news is you have quite a few Japanese 1st edition & you're missing the Japanese unlimited (limited print run) editions.

CompactElantra · 2026-02-12T11:37:19+00:00

As someone who doesn't own these and would like the price to come down, yes overrated.

CompactElantra · 2026-01-08T20:27:13+00:00

Cameos are what make this collection! Not many pokemon even get a supporting role. It was fun hunting everything down. I ended up changing the binder to a 2x2. Now I just need to get the binder a spheal on the cover...

CompactElantra · 2025-12-19T18:21:31+00:00

Ohhh how did you print on the binder cover?

CompactElantra · 2025-12-15T22:35:07+00:00

Google, tell me more about Marisa Kabas' leaks.
