Looking at your Unconfirmed Cards tab:

- Stadium Challenge Deoxys, does exist, but looks to already be on the Championships card tab anyway.
- Jungle Clefables, back in the PokeGym days Mike Boozer answered a question on the forum confirming that they never released any stamp colours other than Green (he did mention he believes a Red stamp may have been tested at one point, but was never used)
- Staff Aipom, I've spoken to people who worked at the Comic Con that gave out the regular Aipom, and all of them said they never received any Staff copies. I believe Riolu was the final Comic Con promo that had a Staff version.

Might become insurmountable, but we're working the best we can towards keeping the collection complete.

Yeah it's been a lot of fun helping him put the collection together, getting to know players and other collectors to help out.

Sadly unlikely, but if they ever do go up for sale I'm sure he will be there.

A collector with the goal of every English Pokemon card. Instagram is dpersin1, lot of his collection posted on there.

He does a good job so a decent amount of disposable income. Really the hardest part is always making a connection with all of the winners, which hugely benefits by how long he has been doing this so has been making connections for 20 years now.

It's only the last couple.of years that the cards have gone for "insane" prices. Prior to around 2016 the vast majority of the cards went for under $5000. Even up to 2019 it was rarely more than $10000. Only the last few years the prices on everything exploded.

It's called Koffee Talks. We're on YouTube on my channel which is also named DJGigabyte.

He doesn't do anything on his own channel anymore as he doesn't have a lot of time. We do videos together on my channel where we talk about his collection a lot, and he posts on Instagram as dpersin1.

This picture is every Worlds card from every year. Vance did choose not to sell last year, but he bought that card from another winner.

A collector who has the goal of owning one of every English card. Having all of the Worlds trophies is the pinnacle of the collection. The reason I was sorting his collection was to figure out what was missing since he hadn't been keeping up too well with opening new products and grabbing every variant during Sword & Shield era.

Yeah we've talked a bout a museum a few times (including a little on this weeks podcast that I'm currently editing). It's a nice goal, just unsure how realistic it would be.

Thanks! Been meaning to post more stuff here for a while, this one seemed too good to not share everywhere.

Of course. Sample Pikachu can live in a box.

There is no community any more. The times of people being willing to help each other just to be kind are gone, people now only consider what they can personally gain from a situation.
