RAIKOU GOLD STAR 💫 #pokémon #pokemontcg #tcg #goldstar #explore by @thecollectivecardsuk

Deoxys 2/17 Pop Series 4 HOLO❗️

With a total PSA graded population of only 667 & only 236 of them being a grade PSA 8 or above - this Deoxys is a must have.

With momentum slowing down following the resurgence of Pokemon one things for certain POP Series still has momentum.

Unlike standard Delta Species cards which used a plain holographic treatment, this specific Deoxys holo featured a unique “cosmic” holographic pattern.

Originally available through POP Series 4 Booster Packs: These promotional booster packs were first made available at the Pokémon TCG World Championships, where players could win a pack by challenging and defeating the 15-and-over champion, Tsuguyoshi Yamato.

Mainstream Release & Value Packs: The set later saw a wider release in September 2006 through sanctioned Organized Play (POP) tournaments and select product value packs until March 2007.

GROUDON EX 038 BLACK STAR PROMO 💫

With a total PSA graded population of only 1650 & only 559 of those copies graded a PSA 8 or above, this card is a must have for any collector.
Why is there so few in good condition ? Mainly because this came as a promo from the EX collectors tin, infamously known for poor quality control during manufacture & distribution.
The silver borders, the vortex art work & the colour contrast only add to the desirability this card possesses. With PSA 10s fetching upwards of $60,000+ there’s no wonder a PSA 8 is sitting at $3,000.

Estevao ROOKIE Short Print 3-D image variation 💎

Only 1 PSA 8 graded & 1 ACE 8 graded copies of this card exist worldwide. Feature in the 2025-2026 Topps Premier League Flagship set - it’s one of the biggest, if not the biggest, non-numbered / non-auto chase cards. With it being a Super Short Print only Topps know how many made it into the set but with only 2 graded copies to ever surface some could say it’s rarer than /5.

Cristiano Ronaldo 03/04 Premier League Sticker 🔥👹 #reels #explore #psa #cristianoronaldo7 #soccercards by @thecollectivecardsuk

GOLD STAR 💫 GYARADOS 🔥

Sometimes the grade just doesn’t matter. When it comes to vintage & grails it doesn’t get much bigger than gold stars. Especially when it’s the UNLIMITED version.

With a total PSA graded population of only 348 just owning this card alone is a collectors dream.

A fire type red Gyarados 🔥

Not much else needs to be said.

POKEMON COLOSSEUM SEALED RED STRIP ❗️

Released in 2004, Pokemon Colosseum was the first Pokemon RPG on the GameCube featuring shadow Pokemon & battles set in the Orre region.

Unlike most Pokémon games, where you’re an innocent child starting an adventure, you play as Wes, a former member of Team Snagem.
The game opens with Wes stealing a machine that allows Pokémon to be taken from other trainers, before blowing up Team Snagem’s hideout!

It’s probably one of the darkest openings in a mainline-style Pokémon RPG.

Not only is it “not to be sold separately” but it also had the infamous Nintendo Red Strip seal making this a highly sought after item for any hard core pokemon collector.

Unlike cards, to keep a game sealed means you would never have played it which is highly unlikely as the first thing you do when you buy a new game is rip it open to experience it. With that in mind, it’s highly unlikely you’ll ever find another one of these - driving scarcity & rarity through the roof.

With gaming going digital and physical copies starting to go extinct, we expect the video game market to explode in the next year.

CRISTIANO RONALDO ROOKIE USER NAME ERROR

In 2003, after exploding onto the football scene for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United paid £12.4million pounds for 18 year old Cristiano Ronaldo.

At that time nobody could have told you that the young Portuguese international would go on to become one of, if not, the greatest player of all time. That’s why it’s almost understandable that this card features a rare spelling mistake of his name.

Almost unknown entity at the time, this collectible features a rare mistake we would never see again because shortly after arriving at Manchester United, Ronaldo would go on to make sure that every single person across the globe would know exactly who he is & how you spell his name.

MEWTWO LV X DP28 BLACK STAR PROMO ⭐️

Released in 2008 as part of the Diamond & Pearl era, originally collected through special collectors tins rather than traditional booster packs. This card is a true gem.

With a total graded PSA population of 1160 only 61 of those achieved a PSA 8.5 or above. Across all grading platforms its total population is 1463 with only 27 CGC grades higher than 8.5 or above, making this CGC 8.5 a highly sought after card.

At the time of writing the current PSA 10 auction stands at $156,000 with another 3 days to go, who knows how high the price will be.

Take this as the perfect opportunity to own the card before the market reaches a new all time high.

Pikachu & Pichu Special Edition GameBoy Color

Released in the year 2000 in the US 🇺🇸& 2001 in the UK 🇬🇧 - this special edition gameboy color celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Still with its original box & manual as well as fully working it represents a real piece of Pokemon history.

Before the era of smart phones, online multiplayer & modern gaming consoles. There was something magical about switching on your gameboy, hearing that familiar start up sound & then disappearing into the world of Pokemon.

For Pokémon enthusiasts, retro Nintendo fans and gaming collectors, this is the kind of console that instantly brings back childhood memories. 💛

Lamine Yamal ROOKIE

2023 - 24 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition
UEFA CLUB COMPETITIONS
Image Variation

The future of football. A true definition of a generational talent. For someone so young it feels like he’s already been doing it for years - quite simply because he has.

Not only is this an image variation but it also features the, at the time, staple Nike tech fleece & beats headphones. True nostalgia for the future.

2006 RAIKOU | POP SERIES 2 HOLO | Legendary Beast Blister 🐯

TOTAL PSA POPULATION: 467
PSA 8: 104

Not all vintage Pokémon collectibles are created equal.

Dating back to 2006, this stunning Raikou holographic represents an increasingly sought-after era of Pokémon collecting — when promotional releases and Legendary Beast blister packs captured the imagination of collectors worldwide.

RAIKOU • ENTEI • SUICUNE

The three Legendary Beasts of Johto. An iconic trio whose legacy continues to define an entire generation of Pokémon collectors.
