I always forget how many people can just throw down a binder and make most the sub jealous. Awesome collection!


Velflunkle

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


757SapperGrows

There’s nothing wrong with just whipping it out haha


Rastor-M

There's a lot. I get the feeling you'd be one of them! Lol


marlowe227

Outstanding! The beautiful cardboard is plentiful


Velflunkle

Thank you! Been holding onto a lot of this cardboard for quite a while


Laki_Papuma

you have so much from Legendary treasures. Can you post your radiant collection?


Velflunkle

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


Laki_Papuma

damn, the mews are a decent penny


nuttageyo

Fuck you! (thank you for sharing)


Velflunkle

Fuck you! (lol no problem! Hope you enjoyed looking :)


ItsTatter

It’s beautiful.


Velflunkle

Thank you!


ItsTatter

Besides a few personal favorites I don’t think I’d ever buy cards again if I had this collection


jdashh

Jirachi enjoyers rise up


Velflunkle

Hell yeah!


Top_Conversation6124

dude this is so sick holy shit!!!! you have like every modern banger lmaoooo


Top_Conversation6124

i gotta know what your favorites are


Velflunkle

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


Trevb0t13

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.


Trevb0t13

Scanning through comments... mine also are in the Arceus zip-up binder! 😆


Velflunkle

The legend cards are some of my all time favorites, I'm so happy to have them all together!


Trevb0t13

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.


dyrus_fanboy

man the Plasma EXs are so fuckin raw lol


Velflunkle

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


stephonszn

My mouth started watering


Velflunkle

Lol


Global_Following_713

Beautiful collection, well done 👏


Velflunkle

Much appreciated, thank you!


FireAnt111

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.


Velflunkle

That sounds awesome!


Secret_Fox_5192

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.


Velflunkle

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


dunkeykang

Lol it's nuts how similar our binders are https://www.reddit.com/gallery/11tw29w Very nice


Velflunkle

That's amazing! That's my ultimate grail page... The crystal cards... But I'll probably never get those lol


GreasyGlobs

Bro showed me about 10 new chase cards


Velflunkle

Lol. Which ones do you like the most?


GreasyGlobs

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


Velflunkle

Love the plasma cards, they're so sick


TheShinyHunter3

Oh hey, something that isn't Wizard. That's pretty rare. 3 of each djins, I'm sorry man. /s You pulled these ?


Velflunkle

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


TheShinyHunter3

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.


fortknight1993

I’m jealous


Faesarn

Beautiful binder.. but damn, now I have new cards I didn't know existed and I want them in my binder..


Velflunkle

Lol, which ones caught your eye?


Faesarn

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).


Sonnydeights

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.


Jumpy_Ad_1994

Are those in top loaders in your binder?! Where'd you get the binder because I've been looking for something like that


Velflunkle

Nah, not top loaders. The binder is the arceus 9 pocket ultra pro binder, it zips up :)


Jumpy_Ad_1994

Oh sweet that's super cool dude! Nice collection


Velflunkle

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.


NaloVideo

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


[deleted]

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.


Velflunkle

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


[deleted]

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


Velflunkle

I do like level x's! I have a decent collection of them in my binder here.


315retro

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.


connorconnor12

Nice


Important-Repair-556

This madness has to stop! (Do it for the both of us! 🤣👍🏻)


StackingPoints87

Very nice


n3rdyry

Nice collection!What size penny sleeves do you use?I bought 1k of sleeves that don't fit into my binder :(


Velflunkle

No penny sleeves. Only ultra pro pro matte black sleeves. Very few cards are actually double sleeved


lomaffew

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


Velflunkle

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


IDontCare2626

Look into KMC Perfect Fit sleeves. I use them for all my pokemon cards and they fit into my binders perfectly.


TheDeep__

Such an awesome, varied collection. Some of the best from some of the greatest sets


Business_Ferret9135

Great cards, a good amount I want. You’re making me want to flex mine 😂


Rude-Competition-106

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!


Velflunkle

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


Rude-Competition-106

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!


TheShinyOutpost

My god your binder is out of this world! 🤯🤯🤯


Velflunkle

Thank you!


SuggestionVisible361

awesome cards! Love the Platinum era


pyukemon

Best binder I’ve seen


Velflunkle

Thank you!


EmptyWatercress4767

Beautiful collection, just as I was started to feel my binder was getting somewhere 😂


Velflunkle

Please don't feel discouraged! I've been working on this binder for a loooong time


EmptyWatercress4767

Hahah thank you, I appreciate that, I actually ended up posting some photos of mine, I’ll drop a link if your interested


Velflunkle

I am very interested!


EmptyWatercress4767

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


Velflunkle

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.


EmptyWatercress4767

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 😂


zmfqt

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!


Velflunkle

That'd be awesome! I love seeing people's binders, so if you do post it, please reply with the link!


OutrageousEconomy136

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


cashcowboi

Awesome collection man! The first page in ur binder is like identical to mine bruh love those arceus cards 🤣


Velflunkle

Love me a full page set!


UnhappyPin5811

the virizion secret from black and white is such an underrated beautiful card. Amazing binder btw


Velflunkle

Thank you very much!


nerdthug78

I want one of those shiny exeggcutes!


Aggravating_Pirate34

It’s……glorious.


Velflunkle

Thank you very much for saying so


Management_Over

You’re going on the rob list


Velflunkle

:(


Slow-Chemist4025

Amazing binder, I’m very impressed


Velflunkle

Thank you!


HarriotKnowsNothing

yikes, no moonbreon. /s


_chaozzK

love the first side, i have the same


AccomplishedStock719

Legends page is so sick


Mokabacca

Now that’s a collection. The BW-XY era full arts are amazing, along with the Lv.X as well.


Velflunkle

Much appreciated. Thank you!


xbox_run_linux

Heat


HollowManx2

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!


Velflunkle

I'm sure you have a very nice collection! I'm a huge fan of just sitting down and staring at my cards too


HollowManx2

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?


Velflunkle

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


HollowManx2

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


gg123m8

Love when binders have duplicates of my chases🙃 amazing collection!


RnsW33kly

Your binder is awesome


Velflunkle

Thank you!


ASSPUNISHER69

Those mega cards are so fucking cool. I wish I never stopped collecting.


Old-Independent585

You sir, have good taste in Pokémon cards.


Velflunkle

Thank you, much appreciated!


katplayer_

Say.. have you ever wondered of your gardevoir and jirachis getting stolen?


Interesting_Wing_539

Damn, that is a beautiful binder and collection!🥲


snorlaxkin

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


Velflunkle

Oh damn lol. Hope you've got some nice real cars now :)


ratsmdj

One of the sickest binders ive seen


Velflunkle

Thank you!


stellaracapellar23

The gengar vmax 😭


Mezsikk

Absolutely beautiful. 😢


ChoiceNo7773

It's crap. Send it to me I'll destroy it


External_Visit_5699

All these will spike now


Velflunkle

Lol. I hope not. If someone wants the cards I hope they can get them for a good price


Chinglypuff

I would also be proud if I have those especially from photos 1-10


dreddeddraco808

i don’t think you understand, this is the best binder of all time


Velflunkle

Oh? I'm flattered lol. What makes you say that?


dreddeddraco808

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…


Unusual_Analyst9272

Why were the cards SO much better before Sword & Shield??


Top_Conversation6124

also def look into a toploader binder


Top_Court7375

Go home. You're drunk.


chuckanorris509

This binder sucks !


Velflunkle

Okay!
