We Did it! The final Wizards of the Coast Pokemon Set Holo arrives in PSA 10. For the last 15 months we've been one card short. Today, the goal is complete. Ampharos became POP 2.

This would not have been possible without the grace of the community. So many cards could have gone to different homes. I truly appreciate every last person that has been a part of this goal. It's taken 10 years to achieve and countless friends created along the way.

Please listen to the message in the video. The journey is not over and the hobby is very much alive. There are many good things to come and we, the community, are here to determine how the next 10, 20, 50 years will go. So, PLEASE consider how you want the hobby to be in the future and how you can give back. The relationships, discoveries and content you make will all shape the future.

Pokemon has a long way to go and the accomplishment shared today is a very small part of what is possible in the hobby. I can't wait to high-five the 20th person to reach this achievement. There's an infinite amount of ways to enjoy the hobby and create sub-goals within your goals. Discover what gets you out of bed in the morning, set your goals and achieve them.

Shout out to @deaddarkrai for the final piece: PSA 10 Unlimited Ampharos from Neo Revelation.

When @officialtcagaming leaves you in his collection vault. It was like a kid seeing Santa for the first time.

Goals. 10 year goals. I remember scribbling a collection plan on a napkin back in 2012. It had various Pokemon sets written out. Many were out of order, without clear direction. I decided it's not crazy to spend $90 on a Pokemon card while making $20/hour. As long as it wasn't over $100 for 1st ed 9 Base holos, then it was a good deal. That's all it needed to be. A fair price that wouldn't go down. It was justified.

What came next was totally unexpected. It was electric. Nostalgia running through your veins. Newly found energy with a sense of drive. It was Christmas of 1999 all over again. The passion had been reborn.

Weekly packages turning into daily. My career accelerated faster than expected. It was the right blend of determination and addiction. Christmas morning was now every morning. Goals had been written and a plan was made.

This video showcases the core piece of the original goals: All of the holographic set cards in PSA 10. It's what I remembered as a kid. There was a beginning and an end. It was a true challenge that had never before been accomplished. It took a stubborn level of determination to spend adult dollars on childhood toys. It was the perfect storm that created Gem Mint Pokemon and the collection presented in the video.

Feel free to check out my most recent video showcasing the WOTC set collection. The video is titled "Gem Mint Pokemon Collection" on #youtube

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

Zack Browning Elected Managing Member of MetaTwo Enterprises LLC, Announces Vision for the Future of MetaZoo

June 25, 2026 - MetaTwo Enterprises LLC is pleased to announce the election of Zack Browning to the position of Managing Member, succeeding Charlie Hurlocker. As Managing Member, Browning will steward the MetaZoo intellectual property, helping write the next chapter of the trading card game franchise.

In 2024 MetaTwo Enterprises acquired the MetaZoo IP following bankruptcy and licensed the trademark to GameQbator Labs (GQL). GQL revitalized the franchise and released three successful expansions: Base Set, Torrential Tides, and Secret Shadows, selling millions of booster packs worldwide.

Under the licensing partnership, GQL expanded the artistic scope of MetaZoo, commissioning more original artwork than the franchise’s original ownership group and elevating the game’s visual presentation. GQL’s approach to design emphasized high-quality products with premium artwork and engaging gameplay.

MetaTwo Enterprises, led by Browning, plans to build upon the strong foundation established through the GQL partnership by launching organized play, increasing collector engagement, creating more immersive artwork, and sharing the legends of casters and cryptids that make MetaZoo unique.

For years, he’s approached the hobby with patience, purpose, and conviction. We’re proud to announce Zack Browning (@gemmintpokemon) as an inductee into the TCG Hall of Fame 🔥🏆

Zack’s journey spans decades in the hobby - from early childhood Pokémon memories to assembling some of the most elusive and meaningful cards in existence, and helping thousands of collectors navigate grading through clear, accessible education when few resources existed.

He never set out for recognition - only to learn, collect with intention, and help others do the same.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the Hall of Fame moment live. See you Feb 7–8 in Vancouver.
