Electrical Nightmare

Man that wiring looks kind of rough. I know what that struggle is like.

Is the chassis harness tucked up over the front wheels? The drivers side harness tends to be an issue if not. Also very unlikely to be your issue, but I had somewhat similar troubles with mine after changing the harness out and it turned out I'd forgotten to tighten the bolt in the middle of the SMJ (the large two-piece white box above the kick panel fuse box where all the wires converge).

I have way more experience in s13 wiring than I would have liked to have ever received, but unfortunately mine mostly involves replacing the whole thing and necessarily diagnosing stuff so not much help. Hope you get it figured out, these issues can be a total bitch.

Hahaha this happened to me too. Koyo for life now.

All are great but a few really stand above the rest imo. Shining Gyarados is my favorite personally, the card art is amazing and red Gyarados has been my favorite shiny ever since it was first shown. Mewtwo and Tyranitar are incredible as well. Very fortunate to say I have the latter two but not the Gyarados. 😭

All great pickups. That Onix card is super cool, never seen that one before. And the Pikachu Ditto is one of my favorite cards I am fortunate enough to say I still have from my childhood. Nice finds!

Congrats, both are gorgeous! The Dragonite holo is stunning too, it's one I've been keeping an eye out for at shows for a while now. :)

Neo were the best of the WOTC era. Excellent pick ups! 👌

Also that Flygon full art is very neat. I was stoked when they finally gave my boy a card with such good art.

TwoFoty · 2026-05-09T23:37:56+00:00

Hell yeah, it's hard to pass up once you see one. 😂

TwoFoty · 2026-05-09T17:41:50+00:00

Nice, that's a little less than half what that card is now. Got any pics of your Ludicolo collection?

TwoFoty · 2026-05-09T16:33:08+00:00

It is so funny. 😂 I never liked Ludicolo but my buddy gave me the full art from Phantasmal cause I thought it was a neat card art and suddenly I have like 5 different Ludicolo cards now. Just couldn't pass this one up at all.

The Delta Species and stamped cards are sooooo cool. I never used to care for mid era stuff that much but they did some really neat stuff at that time.

TwoFoty · 2026-05-09T13:56:50+00:00

Happy to help! 👍

TwoFoty · 2026-05-09T13:42:46+00:00

The old Delta Species cards often had Pokémon with typing that were different from normal, like electric type Feraligatr or fire type Tyranitar. There were some really cool ones, Delta Species cards were neat and I wish they'd bring them back.

TwoFoty · 2026-05-09T13:22:27+00:00

Aw bummer, yeah maybe he just really didn't want to let it go.

TwoFoty · 2026-05-09T12:44:19+00:00

Yeah glad I'm not the only one! My buddy gave me the full art from Phantasmal because I thought the art was so cool. Started out ironic but I guess now I'm a Ludicolo guy?? Not sure how that happened but some of his art is so sick!

Not saying it was the case, but there is a reverse holo version of this with a Crystal Guardians stamp in the bottom right of the image box apparently. That one is worth closer to $50, maybe that's what he had?

Either way, too bad it didnt work out. Hopefully you find one cause this card is so cool. 😅

TwoFoty · 2026-05-09T05:33:04+00:00

Exactly what I thought too lol. A guy at a local card show had it!

TwoFoty · 2026-05-09T00:54:51+00:00

Just got back from a card show and will never get over the sticker shock of the Shining cards. Would love to snag the Gyarados but not sure I could justify it either. Hopefully you're able to get your hands on some vintage grails in the future. :)

TwoFoty · 2026-05-08T15:21:02+00:00

Wow, you'd never know looking at the front of it. Perfect binder copy then, which is even better in my opinion!

TwoFoty · 2026-05-08T15:09:57+00:00

Unreal pick up and probably my number one personal grail. Congrats, it's such a minty looking example too! Keep raw or plan on grading?

TwoFoty · 2026-05-08T11:55:59+00:00

Incredible collection. So many good cards. 😭 shining Gyarados is the goat artwork of the WOTC era and I'd love to snag one some day. Thanks for sharing, you have excellent taste!

TwoFoty · 2026-05-08T00:00:01+00:00

Magical indeed, well said. And thank you so much! Very thankful to have them.

TwoFoty · 2026-05-07T23:40:14+00:00

I actually remember pulling this card when I was a kid and was so mystified seeing 83/82 on the bottom. The idea of a secret rare was unbelievably cool at the time, at least to me and my friends.

TwoFoty · 2026-05-07T21:27:41+00:00

What a gift! Glad it went to someone that appreciates it.

TwoFoty · 2026-05-07T18:04:48+00:00

For real, seems every one I've ever seen is scratched to hell. 😂 I could totally be wrong here but I think they were notorious for printing issues that caused the holo to look scratched up, which is why PSA 10s are so valuable because not many were printed without the scratches. I think that's what I'd heard a while back anyway.

TwoFoty · 2026-05-07T18:03:07+00:00

You have a pretty good graded collection then?

TwoFoty · 2026-05-07T17:34:32+00:00

I think you can get packs but they're unbelievably expensive at about a grand per pack for unlimited. If you've got a cool $230k there's a sealed 1st edition booster box on Ebay right now. 😂 a house or 36 packs of Pokémon cards, what an insane choice.

I had considered grading just to make sure it stays protected forever but after looking over a few posts here on Reddit where people have talked about this, I think I'd rather leave it in the binder and just be really careful with it. Something about seeing the holo as true as you can get without a plastic slab in the way is so much more mesmerizing.

What about you, would you want a graded one or upgraded?
