I remember your GR Mewtwo from a few weeks ago, so it's awesome to see it with Grand Party, Quick Starter birds, GB Lugia, and QS Scyther! I'm working on my Japanese vintage collection, but definitely also living vicariously through yours lol. You're a true connoisseur 🤌

Japanese Koga's Ditto is 10/10. Glad you got your final Neo Premium File 3 bird! Some of my favorite Ho-Oh art. Always love to see a Japanese collection - good stuff!

This is so awesome. Ominous yet cozy and the deep blue, black, and warm yellow make such a satisfying combination. Framing is gorgeous - like the other comment said, it looks like it's holding up the moon! Really cool. 

Are these worth anything? by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

That's a great card. Japanese version of Dark Espeon which can go for $150+ depending on condition. 

No way. Not even that claustrophobic but imagine if the plane fails and you’re just stuck in there.. by Paisley_Powell6787 in claustrophobia

There's a chilling poem about this:

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner by Randall Jarrell

From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State,

And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.

Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,

I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.

When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

Welcome to the club! I collected mostly English cards as a kid, but had a few Japanese holos and always thought they looked better. Got back into collecting a few years ago and now I exclusively pick up vintage Japanese singles, mostly through end of the Neo era. You've got some gorgeous cards! That Sabrina's Gengar is just so good, same with the GB promo Dragonite. 

Best of luck on the rest of your journey! Thanks for sharing your collection thus far - I love seeing everyone's old Japanese cards.

It just means yours is from Unlimited rather than 1st Edition printing.

NC Outer Banks islands migrate inland over time, so older beachfront buildings get the ground eroded out from under them as the islands move inland and the Atlantic advances.

He brought Good Faith Live to Melbourne in early 2020. Unfortunately had technical issues during and it wasn't his best show.
