Finally added the Base Set Charizard to the vault. Condition is cleaner than expected — sharp corners, strong holo, perfect centering. Worth the wait.

Umbreon VMAX feels overheated right now. Volume is spiking but recent eBay UK sold averages have flattened. Anyone else waiting for a pullback?

Anyone heading to London Card Show this weekend? Bringing a binder of vintage holos and a small case of slabs — looking to swap rather than sell.

Trading my CGC 9 Moonbreon. Open to vintage holos, modern alt arts, or cash add. DM with offers — looking to swap rather than sell straight.

Portfolio just crossed £180k. Mostly graded WOTC vintage with a small SWSH alt-art slice. Long road from where I started in 2022.

Listed my CGC 9.5 Rayquaza VMAX Alt Art — open to offers. Slab is fresh, subgrades are strong. Photos in the listing.

Pulled this Pikachu ex Special Illustration from a Surging Sparks ETB at the local card shop. Pack-fresh. Sleeved in 5 seconds.

Charizard Base Set has been climbing steadily for 3 months. PSA 8 sold averages up ~12% over 90d. Vintage is doing what vintage does.

Just back from a sub. PSA 10 Pikachu VMAX Gold returned with subgrades I’m happy with. Going straight into the vault.

Hot take: Evolving Skies is the strongest modern set of the last decade. Alt art lineup, hit ratio, secondary market — nothing else comes close.

Birmingham Card Fair Saturday — 60+ tables confirmed. Bringing duplicate ETBs and a bunch of singles. First show as a vendor, looking forward to it.

Big trade thread incoming. Want to swap my CGC 9.5 Rayquaza Alt for a Lugia Neo Genesis (PSA 8+ or BGS 8.5+). Cash adjust either way if needed.

Sylveon VMAX Alt Art back from PSA. The queue for these is brutal but the centering held up — landed a 9. Going on the wall.

Open to trades — pack-fresh Pikachu ex SIR from Surging Sparks. Looking for vintage holos or a Pikachu VMAX Gold. Will add cash to make a deal work.

Second of the Base Set starter trio in the vault. Blastoise PSA 8 — clean back, sharp edges. Charizard’s neighbour now.

Giratina V Alt Art has been quietly building a base around £140. Lost Origin is aging well — fewer prints than Evolving Skies but the alt-art lineup is criminally underrated.

Listed: Venusaur Base Set, raw NM, accepting offers. Holo is intact, slight whitening on bottom-right. Open to part-trades for graded EX-era.

Still think Hidden Fates is one of the most undervalued sets of the modern era. Shiny Charizard GX is a legitimate top-3 modern grail. Don’t sleep on it.

Picked this up at a local meet for £25. Mr. Mime Jungle holo in NM raw. Massively underrated — Trainer Deck B promos pushed Jungle into a real collector’s set.

Shiny Charizard ex from Paldean Fates is doing exactly what it said it would on release. Up ~20% from print floor. SV-era chase ratios are tighter than people expect.

Hit my 100th card. Mostly modern alt arts and a couple of recent ETBs. Slow build but everything tracked in BlackBay since day one — feels good seeing the chart compound.

Manchester TCG Convention in 3 weeks. Bringing dual-display cases of WOTC and EX-era graded. If you collect classic, come find the table.

Pulled this Shiny Charizard GX from a Hidden Fates tin yesterday. PSA-bound. The shiny treatment on the back stars hits different in person.

Listed: Giratina V Alt Art, raw NM. Centering 60/40 to the left. Priced fair against the last 5 sold — all sources transparent in the listing.

Looking to trade up. Have a pack-fresh Pikachu ex SIR (Surging Sparks) plus cash. Want a Sylveon VMAX Alt — open to package deals.
