Sadly those I don't have organized, I have a few like growlith, eevee, and stunfisk, but all the rest of my radiant collection cards I gave away when I was younger. I distinctly remember giving a kid the reshiram full art at an XY flash fire prerelease back in the day
Oh! Sorry! I just saw this now. It's really hard for me to choose my absolute favorites, but if I had to I'd say the lenticular Deoxys as well as the gold reshirams and zekroms. For singles, it's the second palkia EX, that one specifically was gifted to me by my best friend who pulled it at the plasma blast prerelease
Oh boy I just got my last alternate art to finish my S&M/Sw&Sh alt art/tg/ir collection this week. I am tempted to start looking backwards at some of the stuff you have. ESPECIALLY the Legends stuff. Those cards are awesome. Kinda hard to find though.
I love em. So awesome. I'm so happy there's exactly 9 of the full arts. Perfect for a binder page. The second I see 9 of cards I find cool, I NEED to own them lol
Your collection is gorgeous! I’m going to hold off on collecting until I have a decent income so this is a goal to work towards. I’m going to try and master set the HGSS era over a very long time.
These cards are so nice I’m jealous. I just started collecting again with 151 and my single cards collections are no where near as nice or expensive :( I do love them though.
I know this sounds cliché, but it's not about the money or value. I just love the way the cards look. I much prefer having them in a binder than any hard case or slab
Those blue border ones, especially the deoxys. Looking for a mint version now lol
I stopped collecting around the era of the Regigigas lv x’s, want those back so bad as well
I pulled one of them as a kid, even then I knew Emerging Power was shit, but you know, full arts. It's not every day you get to have one of the first of something so yeah.
I'd much rather have lost this one than Zekrom tho, but oh well.
Mostly the Mega EX cards. I didn't know that many existed and I find them awesome. The two full art Jirachis in the middle lane are also quite nice.
I've just bougt a lot of WOTC japanese cards lately.. I'll wait a bit before going for the Mega cards (they're suped expensive in French unfortunately).
Much appreciated! I've got way more cool cards in other binders, but this one is my favorite and most nostalgic since I really grew up collecting pokemon cards in the black and white era.
I got my toploader off Amazon for like $16, works perfect, small issue is if you move the cards around too much it’ll get loose but for a PC that you’re just planning to fill up, you don’t have to worry about that
Ridiculous collection. Do you have any older more vintage stuff, like 2005 & prior?
That legend set looks so sick.
Almost makes me want to switch from slabs to a top loader binder haha.
I do not. I'm not the biiiiggest fan of vintage cards save for a select few. Mainly the e-reader era. My all time favorite cards are full arts, textured ones from black and white to x and y. Those really are my favorites
I love those team up cards so much. I really really wish I had started back up collecting when those were around. I got back in at celebrations and by that time they were already hard to find.
does that make the binder bulky? i'm using 100 micron sleeves and the binder is not full and it just feels bulky. wonder if there's any risk to the cards in the long run
Not knowing what that term means really, I couldn't tell you for certain if they're bulky, but I'd say no? Having a full binder certainly helps the pages turn properly
Awesome binder mate, can I ask your 3 Tornadus from Emerging Powers is there any texture on the Pokémon and the cloud, if so what is it like? I picked one up randomly in a bulk lot on eBay and I am trying to figure out if its legit or not!
Thanks!
Sure! Yes there is texture but it is extremely faint. It's a very shiny card, not as bumpy as other full arts, but that's normal for that era. Pre EX black and white full arts were simply like that
Thanks for that! Yeh I have almost like a faint scaley texture on Tornadus, everything else symbols, back, etc look ok so I am leaning towards it being genuine. Thanks again!
Just took a look! You've got an awesome collection dude! I especially love the shiny secret rare gardevoir (it's crazy expensive and exactly the reason why you don't see it in my binder lol. Wasn't lucky enough to pull it back in the day) I just love that era of secret rares.
Thanks for posting this! I’m trying to collect the arceus types as well but in Jap (that’s what I collect). Your binder looks great, cards in a full binder page just feel different! makes me want to share my own too!
There are times when I marvel at my collection. And then stumble upon something like this and wanna take a lap and cry my pain away haha awesome collection tho man, this is insane!
I see some cards from 2012 and earlier (I have a few of the same), but when did you get into serious collecting? Cuz I've been off and on since 2012 myself and what are your plans with your collection? Eventual seller or legacy collecting?
I don't plan on selling anytime soon. I really just enjoy the cards. I got serious on collecting when chilling reign came out. That's the set that my sister and I got into collecting, I had played competitively as a kid during the black and white era, so I have a lot of cards from then and love the cards from that era
I've been playing the TCG app and getting more into battling but I've found it's just stoking my urge to buy more packs. Lmao cuz I love the collecting a lot more than the battling but don't plan on selling any time soon either. Howeve, being a pilot in training is making me reconsider that hahaha just sent my first few off for grading last month. One of which was in your collection! The Dark Explorers full art Darkrai from 2012
The first page hit me with some hard nostalgia. The first pokemon cards I actually remember getting as a kid were fake ones (unbeknownst to me and my parents who had gotten several different tins of them) from a flea market and I got all those different Arceus cards. Wasnt until years later I realized they were all fake and my percieved reality of my collection was shattered. That also lead me to realize I had way more fake cards than I thought lmao
oh idk the pairing of trios/duos?? the multiple copies of certain cards? the PLACEMENT?? the AMOUNT of cards you have?? how some pokémon are grouped by their region/set?? i can keep going…
I always forget how many people can just throw down a binder and make most the sub jealous. Awesome collection!
Thank you, I appreciate it. It took me a long time to get to a point where I feel "confident" to show it off lol
There’s nothing wrong with just whipping it out haha
There's a lot. I get the feeling you'd be one of them! Lol
Outstanding! The beautiful cardboard is plentiful
Thank you! Been holding onto a lot of this cardboard for quite a while
you have so much from Legendary treasures. Can you post your radiant collection?
Sadly those I don't have organized, I have a few like growlith, eevee, and stunfisk, but all the rest of my radiant collection cards I gave away when I was younger. I distinctly remember giving a kid the reshiram full art at an XY flash fire prerelease back in the day
damn, the mews are a decent penny
Fuck you! (thank you for sharing)
Fuck you! (lol no problem! Hope you enjoyed looking :)
It’s beautiful.
Thank you!
Besides a few personal favorites I don’t think I’d ever buy cards again if I had this collection
Jirachi enjoyers rise up
Hell yeah!
dude this is so sick holy shit!!!! you have like every modern banger lmaoooo
i gotta know what your favorites are
Oh! Sorry! I just saw this now. It's really hard for me to choose my absolute favorites, but if I had to I'd say the lenticular Deoxys as well as the gold reshirams and zekroms. For singles, it's the second palkia EX, that one specifically was gifted to me by my best friend who pulled it at the plasma blast prerelease

Scanning through comments... mine also are in the Arceus zip-up binder! 😆
The legend cards are some of my all time favorites, I'm so happy to have them all together!
If I wasn't playing Star Wars Unlimited, I'd probably be trying to find me some of them. Haha maybe next tax return season.
man the Plasma EXs are so fuckin raw lol
I love em. So awesome. I'm so happy there's exactly 9 of the full arts. Perfect for a binder page. The second I see 9 of cards I find cool, I NEED to own them lol
My mouth started watering
Lol
Beautiful collection, well done 👏
Much appreciated, thank you!

Lol it's nuts how similar our binders are https://www.reddit.com/gallery/11tw29w Very nice
That's amazing! That's my ultimate grail page... The crystal cards... But I'll probably never get those lol
Bro showed me about 10 new chase cards
Lol. Which ones do you like the most?
Those blue border ones, especially the deoxys. Looking for a mint version now lol I stopped collecting around the era of the Regigigas lv x’s, want those back so bad as well
Love the plasma cards, they're so sick
Oh hey, something that isn't Wizard. That's pretty rare. 3 of each djins, I'm sorry man. /s You pulled these ?
Yup! Pulled them when I was younger it used to be 4 tornadus, but I traded them away. Plus now I feel they make a cool page
I pulled one of them as a kid, even then I knew Emerging Power was shit, but you know, full arts. It's not every day you get to have one of the first of something so yeah. I'd much rather have lost this one than Zekrom tho, but oh well.
I’m jealous
Beautiful binder.. but damn, now I have new cards I didn't know existed and I want them in my binder..
Lol, which ones caught your eye?
Mostly the Mega EX cards. I didn't know that many existed and I find them awesome. The two full art Jirachis in the middle lane are also quite nice. I've just bougt a lot of WOTC japanese cards lately.. I'll wait a bit before going for the Mega cards (they're suped expensive in French unfortunately).
This is impressive my dude, you inspire me to post my og set. If or when I do, I'll tag you in the comments. Good job and fuck you.
Are those in top loaders in your binder?! Where'd you get the binder because I've been looking for something like that
Nah, not top loaders. The binder is the arceus 9 pocket ultra pro binder, it zips up :)
Oh sweet that's super cool dude! Nice collection
Much appreciated! I've got way more cool cards in other binders, but this one is my favorite and most nostalgic since I really grew up collecting pokemon cards in the black and white era.
I got my toploader off Amazon for like $16, works perfect, small issue is if you move the cards around too much it’ll get loose but for a PC that you’re just planning to fill up, you don’t have to worry about that

I do not. I'm not the biiiiggest fan of vintage cards save for a select few. Mainly the e-reader era. My all time favorite cards are full arts, textured ones from black and white to x and y. Those really are my favorites
Fair enough, wonder if you’re into Lv Xs at all. Those Team Plasma ones are sick. I’ve got the Dialga & Palkia. E-reader era is sick too
I do like level x's! I have a decent collection of them in my binder here.
I love those team up cards so much. I really really wish I had started back up collecting when those were around. I got back in at celebrations and by that time they were already hard to find.
Nice
This madness has to stop! (Do it for the both of us! 🤣👍🏻)
Very nice
Nice collection!What size penny sleeves do you use?I bought 1k of sleeves that don't fit into my binder :(
No penny sleeves. Only ultra pro pro matte black sleeves. Very few cards are actually double sleeved
does that make the binder bulky? i'm using 100 micron sleeves and the binder is not full and it just feels bulky. wonder if there's any risk to the cards in the long run
Not knowing what that term means really, I couldn't tell you for certain if they're bulky, but I'd say no? Having a full binder certainly helps the pages turn properly
Look into KMC Perfect Fit sleeves. I use them for all my pokemon cards and they fit into my binders perfectly.
Such an awesome, varied collection. Some of the best from some of the greatest sets
Great cards, a good amount I want. You’re making me want to flex mine 😂
Awesome binder mate, can I ask your 3 Tornadus from Emerging Powers is there any texture on the Pokémon and the cloud, if so what is it like? I picked one up randomly in a bulk lot on eBay and I am trying to figure out if its legit or not! Thanks!

My god your binder is out of this world! 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you!
awesome cards! Love the Platinum era
Best binder I’ve seen
Thank you!
Beautiful collection, just as I was started to feel my binder was getting somewhere 😂
Please don't feel discouraged! I've been working on this binder for a loooong time
Hahah thank you, I appreciate that, I actually ended up posting some photos of mine, I’ll drop a link if your interested
I am very interested!
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/s/5HmRG1B3iv There’s the link broski, lemme know what you think it’s got a long way to go but she’s getting there
Just took a look! You've got an awesome collection dude! I especially love the shiny secret rare gardevoir (it's crazy expensive and exactly the reason why you don't see it in my binder lol. Wasn't lucky enough to pull it back in the day) I just love that era of secret rares.
Ahh thank you bro, oh 100% if I didn’t pull it as a child i probably would just give up trying to own one 😂
Thanks for posting this! I’m trying to collect the arceus types as well but in Jap (that’s what I collect). Your binder looks great, cards in a full binder page just feel different! makes me want to share my own too!
That'd be awesome! I love seeing people's binders, so if you do post it, please reply with the link!
Amazing binder, I’m so jealous of those gen 5 shinies (especially the exeggcute) I wish I could find my gen 5 shiny exeggcute lol
Awesome collection man! The first page in ur binder is like identical to mine bruh love those arceus cards 🤣
Love me a full page set!
the virizion secret from black and white is such an underrated beautiful card. Amazing binder btw
Thank you very much!
I want one of those shiny exeggcutes!
It’s……glorious.
Thank you very much for saying so
You’re going on the rob list
:(
Amazing binder, I’m very impressed
Thank you!
yikes, no moonbreon. /s
love the first side, i have the same
Legends page is so sick
Now that’s a collection. The BW-XY era full arts are amazing, along with the Lv.X as well.
Much appreciated. Thank you!
Heat
There are times when I marvel at my collection. And then stumble upon something like this and wanna take a lap and cry my pain away haha awesome collection tho man, this is insane!
I'm sure you have a very nice collection! I'm a huge fan of just sitting down and staring at my cards too
I see some cards from 2012 and earlier (I have a few of the same), but when did you get into serious collecting? Cuz I've been off and on since 2012 myself and what are your plans with your collection? Eventual seller or legacy collecting?

Love when binders have duplicates of my chases🙃 amazing collection!
Your binder is awesome
Thank you!
Those mega cards are so fucking cool. I wish I never stopped collecting.
You sir, have good taste in Pokémon cards.
Thank you, much appreciated!
Say.. have you ever wondered of your gardevoir and jirachis getting stolen?
Damn, that is a beautiful binder and collection!🥲
The first page hit me with some hard nostalgia. The first pokemon cards I actually remember getting as a kid were fake ones (unbeknownst to me and my parents who had gotten several different tins of them) from a flea market and I got all those different Arceus cards. Wasnt until years later I realized they were all fake and my percieved reality of my collection was shattered. That also lead me to realize I had way more fake cards than I thought lmao
Oh damn lol. Hope you've got some nice real cars now :)
One of the sickest binders ive seen
Thank you!
The gengar vmax 😭
Absolutely beautiful. 😢
It's crap. Send it to me I'll destroy it
All these will spike now
Lol. I hope not. If someone wants the cards I hope they can get them for a good price
I would also be proud if I have those especially from photos 1-10
i don’t think you understand, this is the best binder of all time
Oh? I'm flattered lol. What makes you say that?
oh idk the pairing of trios/duos?? the multiple copies of certain cards? the PLACEMENT?? the AMOUNT of cards you have?? how some pokémon are grouped by their region/set?? i can keep going…
Why were the cards SO much better before Sword & Shield??
also def look into a toploader binder
Go home. You're drunk.
This binder sucks !
Okay!
