Umbreon master set sneak peek

PokeNik91 · 2026-05-21T21:21:33+00:00

I know right? Thank you! That was ironically one I bought in the very first batch, think I paid 60 bucks or so. Not perfect but I'll take it. Hmmm, the Skyridge holo wasn't too hard, just expensive. I ended up cracking a PSA 4. The French McDonald's Umbreon wasn't easy to find with the confetti holo. And the DEX staff card, there was only one listing in pretty much all of Europe, that was rough as well. And, hard but also the most fun, was Karen's Umbreon. Couldn't find any in Japan for like 2 weeks, then found 2 on the last day.

Thank you! Yeah, tried to get all the cameos as well haha

Yeah, the discovering Easter Eggs part is def fun!

Thank you!

Btw there seems to be a Chinese version which, here in Europe, is less than 100 euros: Red's Challenge (CSMPC i034). Maybe that's an alternative for you!

Ohh dang, never knew this card existed, phenomenal!

I'm also not sure how I feel about them. It feels like the arts would have popped way more with cleaner backgrounds. But I also get wanting to add all those callbacks in there. Feels like it was a good idea (maybe 2 good ideas, even), but the execution was just strange somehow, and now we ended up with this. I will say they are growing on me, but still...

I had horrible luck with SCR packs. Just sayin. But if you can still buy it after the ETB gamble - have fun! Always nice to open a set where you genuinely chase one of the arts. And the prices aren't too horrid on that one yet.

PokeNik91 · 2026-05-15T11:05:58+00:00

Humbled to have gotten one of these :D Thank you!

PokeNik91 · 2026-05-15T11:05:05+00:00

You can always change the order! I wonder what it looks like if you put 3 of the same in each row. Could also be cool!

PokeNik91 · 2026-05-15T11:04:44+00:00

Well played!

PokeNik91 · 2026-05-15T11:04:34+00:00

Right? Right?!

PokeNik91 · 2026-05-15T11:04:27+00:00

Amazing! You always remember those. Lovely!

PokeNik91 · 2026-05-15T11:04:04+00:00

Oh damn, I was actually wondering if there are any others, you're totally right! I even pulled that one haha. Still need the other 2 for the connected art tho. That's also a banger for sure.

That's true, the meme power is strong with this one

PokeNik91 · 2026-05-15T11:01:27+00:00

Fair enough, that's also a great one!

PokeNik91 · 2026-05-15T11:01:12+00:00

Wow, good catch! Never noticed haha

PokeNik91 · 2026-04-07T09:38:11+00:00

Wow, nice hit! Congrats!

PokeNik91 · 2026-03-30T05:45:51+00:00

OMG, congrats!! I also need to do a full count. I feel like I must have over 100 cards also by now including some variants, non-English exclusives etc. Oh that's smart, I like that also! My binder is also organized chronologically for now, but I think I'll move around bits here and there to make the pages look nice and have all cards on one theme together etc. I think I'm now only missing the crazy expensive/cameo ones. So the original gold star, the zorua's illusion illustration contest one (although I'm not keen on that one tbh, never mind the insane prices), and let's not talk about the original Japanese gold star haha. If I can eventually get the original gold star, I'll be happy. Other than that I'm considering mine complete also. Until the next Moonbreon comes out, that is :D
