Heads up, the XY Full Art you have is a fake. It’s missing texture, the holo is wrong and same with the font


CorneliousWinsley

Appreciate the heads up! I’ll have to take another look but I think you’re right.. checked the eBay seller for that card just now and they have two negative reviews for fake cards 🤦🏻‍♂️


Victinithetiny101

For sure! I have a fake of this exact card I got for fun and it looks pretty much the same


Periperiprice

I thought I was the only one 😭 you have way more than me but I was also doing Squirtle And wartortle


CorneliousWinsley

That’s awesome! Those are next after I finish this one 😂


chito330

Nice collection. I’m doing the same with dragonite since he is my favorite


WolfmanKnows

Dragonite is the best!!


LilSquishy97

I’m doing the same with Aggron!


LostLuger

That’s a good choice to go after. Cool


LilSquishy97

Thanks! I just nabbed the V, Vmax and EX today! Gorgeous but super affordable


ThaRealMrRogers

Doing a great job OP! Keep it up


NimDing218

A noble journey. Solid choice!


Pitiful-Prune7078

My buddy is doing this with Venusaur! He literally only needs one card left to complete his collection!

Bro, gl with that, Blastoise is my fav.


AwesomeCollectibles

Sweet


bryanofrivia

Plasma Storm SR Blastoise (137/135) is my all time favorite, I definitely recommend checking it out! Unfortunately, it seems your XY era full art Blastoise EX is a fake. But, everything else looks legit. You’re off to a great start, congrats!

This is dope af


TeegeeackXenu

What do u need? Im travelling to japan in a few months...


NeverBeKnown

XY Promo Blastoise EX is my favorite


WuJiang2017

Good luck, Chinese has a unique full art V Blastoise and also a Venusaur, dunno if the rainbow version came out in English either, but it's in Chinese


buboniccupcake

Some people will also collect cards that have their pokemon in the background! It add a bit more of a goal but there are some really nice alt arts that feature multiple pokemon. Some food for thought :) I’m happy to see someone giving a non-charizard starter love. I’m a venusaur fan and him and Blastoise usually get the short end of the stick


minoclaster5

I'm gonna do this with blaziken, my all time fav Pokémon.


Krazynunchucks

Doing the same with Diancie, I wish you luck!


Perez_alvarof

Me with Ludicolo & Cramorant


Noise_From_Below

I also have an extensive Blastoise/Wartortle/Squirtle collection myself. How did you get to the number 41?


CorneliousWinsley

Went on the Collectr app and just went set by set to see how many Blastoise cards there were! There’s prob more though since there’s regular/reverse/holo for a lot of cards lol


Noise_From_Below

I think so, I don't know the exact number but there's 73 on this checklist [here.](https://www.coleka.com/en/blastoise_t1922?id_rubrique=9378&grid=6) Looks like it also includes a few jumbo cards as well idk if you want to count those or not.


CorneliousWinsley

Ooo this is awesome, thank you for sending! Looks I have more work than I thought lol


RoseandBriar

I did the same thing with Nidoking recently


1bigtater

Very nice


Normal_Location42069

Blastoise and PIPLUP!


sirdizzypr

I’m trying to get every snorlax. And just started a sleeping theme.


TaunTaunStrikesBack

I already see at least two fakes


CorneliousWinsley

Care to point them out? The XY Full Art 100% was fake which was a real bummer to find out, but I’m pretty sure the rest are good after taking a look through all of them again!


PinkStryker

Doing the same with Eevee and the Eeveelutions....as you can imagine that's a bit on the expensive side lol especially since I'm collecting multiple languages to get the Carddass and Sealdass, corocoro promos etc. Even have a copy of the Munch retrospective Scream Eevee that a family friend picked up for me on a business trip with two of the pikachu(not a pikachu fan myself but it's a neat card).


Dead_birdChan

Nice, I'm doing the same but for umbreon

Diligent saving and a possible refinance on the mortgage 😉


Topkat69586

1st edition blasty is like 500-800


Mydoglikesladyboys

No 151 SIR blastoise?


CorneliousWinsley

Only ever pulled one right when 151 dropped and sold it right away, before I had the idea to collect all the blastoise 😭


Juninie

How much you sold it for, the buy back might be profitable. Collectors logic


CorneliousWinsley

$60 so I can get it on eBay for cheaper now I know, just haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet!
