donavannj, the massive brick of cards in the plastic 2000+ case is just awesome looking. Are those the cards from your longboxes/shortbox in your original post transferred to a new home?

Wish I would have noticed this before posting a similar thread myself a couple of days ago :( <-- I suck! Must have been having a clueless day. Thanks for helping in spite of that donavannj!

Amen. When I found that out I made the decision that I was not going to commit to collecting literally every card, and to instead take one of each regardless of holo-ness. I do prefer the alternates ("reverses") to the plain cards if I come across them, as they are shiny. But what I care...

Hey thanks, TheCondor. In fact I have bought zero boxes and no more than a dozen boosters since I started collecting in Spring of 2010. I obtained the bulk of the collection through lots on eBay. It's now getting to the point that collecting that way is not efficient anymore because most of...

Really, nice. As much time as I've spent on those sites I never picked up on it. I'm usually only on there doing card research, and then come here to hang out. I'll check them out though, thanks donavannj.

Hopefully this thread isn't a problem for the site; if so then I apologize. I'm familiar with the ban on trading on the site and respect it. This thread is about experiences trading on other sites. I'd like to do some trading online and I wonder if anyone has any thoughts/experience doing...

I play High Elves in Fantasy and Space Marines in 40k. Not that I play that much any more. I mainly liked it for the painting. Not that I paint that much any more :) I have always enjoyed it but go on and off of it every few years. The best thing about the game is having figs that are...

Yes but I believe I hold the "old fart" title around here :) I would give you some playing tips but I'm only a collector. I'm sure someone else will be more helpful!

Cute and nice colors, I give the art a 7/10. Does it bug you if I post on the card of the day threads with no insight or thoughts as a player?

I'd try searching for it on eBay and sites such as Collector's Cache and see what it's going for.

I give it 7/10 solely on the basis of the art. Maybe the overall shininess of the prime is blinding me, but the effect is good. It looks like it's powerful and swooping down from the sky, and the colors are striking. Rocket Exec, I don't agree that Yanmega's ugly, but I will give you...

The first edition Jungle cards have a "1" in a black circle on them. If you look at pokebeach.com under Card Scans, go to Classic Sets > Jungle, and click on Mr. Mime, the scan they have posted is from 1st ed, you will see what he means. I think you have the misprint from the Unlimited run. Cool!

Wow, it's really cool to see everyone's collections! I wish I would have been around to post earlier on this thread and comment. Here are some pics of mine. The photo quality is laughable. Sorry, I'm not a camera owner or a knowing-anything-about-photos guy. The binders are my actual...

And mine in pieces :)

I use binders organized chronologically by set, then for each set by card number; sets have tabs between them. Then there's the spreadsheet that tracks what is actually in there, which is darn pretty by the way. Sets break down into binders by generation pretty nicely, so I have a bookshelf...
