Big Mail Days: Completing My Neo Collection
12/08/2024 | Categories: BuysMy birthday this year has been nothing short of amazing, especially with the incredible mail days that just rolled in. I’m thrilled to share that I’ve finally completed my Neo collection, something I’ve been working towards for a long time. The biggest highlights? A Shining Charizard from @thezaggel and a Shining Mewtwo from @resqcards. These […]
[read more]March PSA Return and Rocket Gang addition
26/06/2024 | Categories: Buys, GradingI must say this return had me all slim shady snap back to reality. After a strong last return I felt like things could not go wrong. It sure could have been worse, but it also could have been better. Two out of five grades guessed correctly. Noctowl and Ace were on point, but Raichu, […]
[read more]Neo final stretch and new ex era project
14/03/2024 | Categories: BuysFinally one of the two last Unown cards made it’s way to my binder. With only two more Shinings and one Unown, which is on it’s way, it was about time to start planning the next steps. I had an eye on various EX era sets for quite a while now but after mad_gems_ WhatNot […]

07/03/2024 | Categories: BuysThe following three big hitters finally made it through to my little Pokémon Collection.

Next up is Shining Raichu once again from Instagram, just […]
[read more]WhatNot taking over & PSA Submission – February 2024
15/02/2024 | Categories: Buys, Grading, StoriesWith WhatNot slowly taking over the live shopping market here in Germany it’s time to have a look back at the first few shows. All in all you could say the current state is the place to be, fewer viewers, more chances. The bidding is apart from some special items still very reasonable and the […]
[read more]GSG December Return and more
29/01/2024 | Categories: Buys, GradingMy GSG submission came back with a little delay. Quite by surprise the LaMelo Ball card with the big dent on the front surface turned out to be a 9.5 which caught me a bit off guard but I’ll take a 9.5 any day. The timing for my other two cards couldn’t be any better […]

13/01/2024 | Categories: BuysA little 2021 Prizm Franz Wagner Base RC card has made it’s way to my collection now too. Going in for a little bit of variety in my sports cards some offers I just have to take, even if I won’t end up keeping this card in my collection it sure is welcomed here. Another […]

12/01/2024 | Categories: BuysFinally my Dark Omanyte arrived after the first one got lost along the way. I ordered one in the middle of December from France and it never made it’s way here. After giving up on that one I gladly found a cheaper option from Germany and bought it right away. The big boy though is […]

20/12/2023 | Categories: BuysOn my final stretch with Neo 4, few more additions coming together to wrap up this year. With the next Shining Pokémon in the books I’m now at 4 out of 10. Shining Tyranitar is a stunningly beautiful artwork and in a solid PSA 5 this one was a no brainer to buy. The other […]

09/12/2023 | Categories: BuysSold a lot of cards on cardmarket recently so the fund added up quite nicely. This led to a big leap forward towards finishing my master set of Neo 4.
[read more]Sports sports sports and GSG November return
06/12/2023 | Categories: BuysThis week had me focused on sports cards again. Pretty shortly after starting to go for LaMelo Ball the Hornets point guard once again injured his ankle. You could say I’m a bad omen. Nonetheless I purchased some cards for my collection. The GSG 8.5 concourse of him is thus far my favorite one of […]

28/11/2023 | Categories: BuysWaited a while to let all cards arrive before posting this. Maybe keep this way up with one bigger mailday post once a week. For this weeks update I have acquired some very beautiful dark and light Pokémon from Neo 4 to fill the gaps once again. Currently only missing 24 of the 113 card […]

[read more]Lovely litte mailday
21/11/2023 | Categories: BuysSort of by accident I came across this one. A friend sent me photos of some vintage cards he wanted to get rid of and there it was. Not the best condition but this one is a really beautiful one for me and I’ve been waiting to buy this for quit some time so adding […]
[read more]Next Neo Shining
15/11/2023 | Categories: BuysHard to not feel intrigued by this stunning artwork, the colors and the shining effect are just beautiful. Stumbled upon this on eBay. The crease made this one an affordable buy for my masterset but as for all shining cards from Neo I’m sending this to PSA anyway. With my next submission around the corner […]

13/11/2023 | Categories: BuysAnd just like that I’m finished. Sort of. Still waiting for my PSA submission to arrive to have the trio completed, but technically I’m done with the Imakuni?’s. Now it’s time to upgrade, I guess?

The PSA 9 Imakuni?’s Whismur arrived faster than expected, bought it by the end of October and two weeks later I was surprised by finding the envelope in my mailbox. Now the other two just have to follow. Exploud ex in a PSA 9 is […]

10/11/2023 | Categories: BuysAs I mentioned in one of my recent posts I waited for a special mailday coming right from Japan, maybe with a little stop in between. @shiningmewtu is currently in Tokyo and after seeing my story about my missing cards for my Neo 4 Masterset he reached out to me and offered to keep his […]

07/11/2023 | Categories: BuysFor the past two weeks it seemed like there were no mailmen working in my area.

Now all there’s […]
