So I’m gonna be sending in a bunch of cards to be graded by PSA soon! I figured I’d show off one of them before they all get sent off :) this is Suicune V from Crown Zenith’s Galarian Gallery. I guarantee this card comes back a 10, actually, I’m willing to bet my entire collection on it 🤝🏼 this card is highly slept on and under appreciated, in my opinion ✋🏻 the price did go up on this card but I really don’t think it justifies what this card genuinely offers. From the shooting stars in the background, to the ethereal mountains covered in snow, to the beautiful holo patterns and subtle textures. This card is just a banger all around. Don’t get me wrong the other legendary beasts cards from this set are good too, this one is just in another tier of its own I feel in terms of artwork. I took a picture of this card next to my Pokemon Crystal version as this card reminds me of simpler times playing G/S/C as a kid, and some of the most amazing memories. This card brings me to a time where I genuinely had no worries. So wholesome, and pure. I love this card. If you read this far, you’re an incredible human being and you’re doing great :) and I love you 🫶🏼 who’s your favorite of the three legendary beasts? 👀

Mewtwo….just “Mewtwo” no V, no Vstar, no ex, just a beautiful, and simple, illustration rare Mewtwo promo card from Scarlet and Violets 151 Ultra Premium Collection. This is easily one of my favorite Mewtwo cards ever. They illustrated Mewtwo beautifully here, as they hover over the city. Looking powerful as ever. I like how the holo patterns in this card change the color of Mewtwo’s eyes as it shines by, making it seem like he’s using psychic! And the detail in the city streets below, and the buildings and lights shining from the windows is astonishing. The attention to detail in this card is 10/10. Was able to strong arm someone into an even trade for one of my Magneton pokemon center stamped promos in a PSA 10 😅 it was a fair trade! Especially at the time, I swear! One of the most even trades I could’ve offered 🙂‍↕️I just had to have this card lol As I have stated in my last post, 151 UPCs are out of print so these promos in 10s will be harder to come by as time goes on! This and the Mew promo are just insane cards overall. Mewtwo and Mew are easily in my top 5 favorite pokemon :) do you think Scarlet and Violet era will go down as one of the best generations with the best promos? 👀

Hey guy! So, I’m back in IG jail 😪 however, I can still post. I’m not allowed to like, comment, or follow back. Instagram essentially took away my super power, my ability to support the community. Not entirely sure what I’m doing wrong or how to address the issue as Instagram doesn’t have an actual support system. So we got here what I like to call “messenger” Mew in a PSA 10 coming to town to let y’all know that I wish I could engage more with you guys, but I’m on lockdown until the 2/26/25. Help message Mew spread the word. Keep me alive in your stories. I’ll keep posting casually, and I still have the ability to share your posts on my story to show my continued support :) I appreciate all of you so much🫶🏼
on a side note: this card is an absolute banger 😤 get it now before it’s too late! I ended up trading one of my spare PSA 10 Dialgas for it at a card show last week. I personally think this Special Illustrstion Rare Mew is better than the Bubble Mew. It’s a part of 151’s UPC as a promo and those are out of print. The only way for this card is up 📈! the design is just gorgeous, and the texture patterns on it are so surreal. If you have seen this in person you know what I’m talking about 🙂‍↕️ I appreciate all of you so much, thanks for your increased support, and thanks for being such an amazing community. I love you all 🫶🏼 if you made it this far, which card do you prefer? The SIR Mew promo from 151, or Bubble Mew from Paldean Fates?

Man….I don’t even know where to begin with this card but I had to choose my favorite Crystal Castles song for it 🙂‍↕️ this is a Giratina V Alt Art from #lostorigin illustrated beautifully by the man himself @kandashinji in a PSA 10! This card is one of my biggest personal grails. Easily top 3-5. I’m obviously a big tina guy 🤷🏻‍♂️ but my eyes were immediately set on this card when I got back into the hobby a little less than a year ago. The card as a whole is just undeniable. The texture pattern and holo designs blended in with the design in the background is astounding. It’s what turned me into your average Shinji Kanda fanboy. This card is just breath taking to me. I’m all for vintage cards, but if you put this card in front of me or a base set Charizard, and I had to choose one based off of personal preference and artistic value, excluding monetary value as a reason, I would choose this card 10 out of 10 times. But if I did choose the Charizard it’s just for the money, and I’d sell it and just buy a bunch more Tina’s so do what you will with that information. I’ll probably get a lot of flack for that. But that’s fine. I’m a ride or die tina fan. And I will stand on this mountain alone 😤 this card is timeless, it will always be timeless. Birthed in what will be considered the golden era of artwork for Pokemon in the future. Sword and Shield, and Scarlet and violet era, in terms of art and design are PEAK. And as time goes on these will eventually be considered “vintage”. I’m obviously a Giratina stan, if you made it this far: who’s your favorite Pokemon?

“It’s fine. The future’s bright. Let’s do this, together.”

So we got the little yellow rat today in a PSA 10 🙂‍↕️ now I’ll be honest I didn’t care much for this card at first. I was talking to my buddy @strawhat_mac about it today actually. How, although it’s a nice card, it felt like it was lacking something. For this little guys first Special Illustration Rare I thought it should’ve had more. However, after looking at it for a bit, and after some circumstances that happened to me yesterday, I have to admit I was wrong. The quote above is the energy this card exudes to me. What I failed to notice due to its minimalist artistic nature, was the eyes. The eyes on this card speak volumes. If you have a physical copy shine it under any light and pass it through the eyes, back and forth. The sparkle, the change in color, the glow, the confidence. It looks like he’s looking back at his trainer saying “let’s go on this adventure together!” and I would absolutely follow this little guy. I overlooked the immense detail they put into Pikachu overall, his face, the sparkle. I even overlooked the white background. It has a little shine and subtle texture. To me it resembles a dreamscape. The future. It’s bright, and unknown. Which made me feel really good. I got scammed yesterday. I was expecting my dream card in mail, but ended up getting a bunch of junk cards. I got this card this morning, and it instantly lifted my spirits. I smiled instantly, and celebrated. This card lifted me up after what I felt was a very devastating day. So now I will always remember this card as the card that picked me up when I was down. Much like Pikachu did for Ash throughout the series. A lot of people say a lot about this card, but the little yellow rat does not care. Pikachu is the mascot of the franchise. There’s a reason it has a confident look in its eyes. This is its first special illustration rare. This card is beautiful. This card is undeniable. This card is timeless.
Special shout out to @gradeplustrade for the awesome hook up! You guys are absolutely incredible, I appreciate you so much 🙏🏼

Palkia Vstar 🙂‍↕️ the second shiniest boy in Crown Zenith! I never actually gave this card a dedicated post. So let’s do it 👀 it was a little bit before Christmas and I was just randomly looking at eBay auctions. This one caught my eye as the auction was close to ending and it didn’t have much action on it. Put in a bid for a really, in my opinion, low ball amount and to my surprise the next morning I won it 🙏🏼 it was the last card I needed to get all the gold cards from the set so this one hit home. The feeling I had waking up next morning to seeing that win was basically like waking up to opening presents on Christmas morning. If I told you my bid, you wouldn’t believe me. I was talking to my boy @boom_tcg on his post about how the value of the card is really dependent on the person. The story it carries. The memories you have with it. No matter how little or small. You essentially put the value inside the card. The feeling I had waking up to winning this card, I know sounds insignificant, but I won’t forget that feeling. It brought me back to a feeling I had when I was a child. Dont let the money cloud up your judgement or fool you, don’t let the hype carry you away. Make memories with the cards, and they’ll treat you right. New cards, new people, more memories. Thats why I love this hobby, that’s why I love the community, that’s why I appreciate all of you more than you will ever know. Everyone’s deserves someone to talk to, nobody deserves to be alone. Be easy everybody 🙏🏼

Idk how some of y’all be posting so many times a day, I gotta step my game up 😪

ANYWAY finally was able to ship this bad boy out to my first #giveaway winner @pokehunti :) CONGRATS my dude 🤝🏼! I also shipped out an extra card to a buddy I had owed a card to (sorry it took so long @kardstackz )😅 another little milestone in this hobby for me! First cards I’ve ever shipped out, first giveaway winner! It feels good 😊 the charmander has a lot of sentimental value to me, same with the other card I sent which was a full art Golem ex from Scarlet and Violets #151 set, so I hope these cards help make new memories for both of you, and they treat you well :) I left two little hand written notes on each card just to make it a little more personal. I appreciate you guys, everybody, so much. Thanks for the increased support. Thanks for making this journey so enjoyable. All of you are amazing people and I’m glad to have connected with so many genuine souls, and I am excited to meet many more new faces! If you’ve talked to me before I’ve probably said this to you, one of the best parts of the hobby to me is genuinely supporting the community. And I mean it. Because I love this hobby. If you read all of this I don’t even know what to say. You’re a real one :) I hope you have a good day, and I love you 🫶🏼

I’ve been waiting to show this card off for a while now, and what better time than after showcasing Arceus? 👀 Up to bat, my personal favorite, Giratina Vstar! I had to find a song to fit the chaotic energy Tina brings to the table 😤 It doesn’t shine as bright as the Arceus card, but I think that’s the point. It brings a more foreboding, and dark feeling/ energy as he swells through the void. The gold cards from Crown Zenith made me want to start collecting the set, but Tina solidified that idea for me. Some people say Tina’s too small in the card, Tina’s too this, Tina’s too that. Well guess what? Golden Tina simply does not care and will continue to rise in price. This card is a master piece. The closer you look at it, the more detail you will find hidden within the artwork itself. It truly is a work of art. Something to truly admire. All hail, and all glory to Golden Tina 🫡

My next reveal from my submission to @psacard grading last month is God himself! The creator, Arceus Vstar! The shiniest of boys!!! Man I really truly love this card. For so many reasons. One of the main ones being this was the first chase card I ever personally pulled from a pack. It’s what cemented Crown Zenith as my favorite set. So being able to send it in for grading personally, and having it be graded a #psa10 means the world to me. @rev_akiraegawa is a monster of an artist. He did these gold cards justice. The artwork looks like it should be painted on the roof of a church, or displayed in a museum! Genuine works of art. Beautiful, eerie, and elegant. This card, including all the other gold cards from Crown Zenith, has a bright future. These cards will go to the moon mark my words. The artwork cannot be denied. There is a little holo bleed at the top right corner underneath his HP and energy type. I thought this would prevent it from getting a 10 but here we are :) Pokémon has been so good to me, the cards, games, community. Again if you read this far, you are an amazing human being and I hope nothing but the best for you! Blessings to you and those you love ☺️ thank you to everyone for sharing, supporting, and overall being so kind. Cant wait to continue, and grow on this journey with all of you! 6 more cards to reveal from my submission to @psacard last month! Which creation god card from Crown Zenith is your favorite?
