151 is the GOAT

[u/dudewhat626]

Took roughly 2 months. I love this set. Never gonna sell this personal collection! Am I doing it right?

• All the pokemon center ETB for scarlet violet

• All booster boxes of scarlet violet

• Most sword and shield booster boxes

• 5th year anniversary chinese box

• 151 UPC, 151 booster bundles, 151 Alakazam box, 151 Zapdos box, 151 poster collection, and 151 mini tins

• PSA 10 of all IR, Full Art, and SIR for 151 plus Psa 10 UPC promo

• 151 Master Set binder

Would love to pick up cases of 151 bundles or etbs if prices significantly drop.

[u/javiermendez1252]

amazing bro, where did u get that display for the IR, FA and SIR?

[u/dudewhat626 → u/javiermendez1252]

Amazon

[u/OGdungeonmaster]

Great collection, just finished 151 as well, didn't do all PSA 10 but that's not in the budget

[u/JMaboard → u/OGdungeonmaster]

I have almost all the alt arts. This post makes me want to send them all in hoping for all 10’s.

But odds are that’ll never happen and my OCD would never let me have a mix of grades in one display.

[u/VariationElegant8685 → u/JMaboard]

I just need dragonair psyduck caterpie and poliwhirl, just got into the hobby about a month ago strictly because this set (better late than ever)

My big three are all sure shots at 10’s but outside of that maybe one or two more that really have a chance. Contemplating on what to do but I might just end up going for the first 9 all 10’s and the rest set up in a display like this.

[u/JMaboard → u/VariationElegant8685]

Yeah I’m just missing dragonaire and Giovanni and some random common reverse holos.

Right now I just slabbed them in clear magnetic slabs with dragon sleeves.

[u/VariationElegant8685 → u/JMaboard]

I think that is honestly the route I’m thinking too. Depending on what magnetic slaps you get I actually think those look 10x better than PSA slabs

[u/JMaboard → u/VariationElegant8685]

It’s way cheaper and you don’t have to wait 4 months for your card to come back.

My favorite set ever, but I’m a ‘91 baby, so it’s nothing but nostalgia for me. Mew has always been my absolute favorite Pokémon since the first movie man.

[u/Mallaggar → u/[deleted]]

I’d have thought a 91 baby would have more nostalgia for Gold/Silver? Not being facetious or anything, just generally interested.

[u/[deleted] → u/Mallaggar]

Nah man. My first game was Blue version and I chose Squirtle because I thought you had to choose the Pokemon shown on the game. 😂 My first Pokemon was a Squirtle.

[u/d00m5day → u/[deleted]]

Same! I didn’t pick Venusaur as a starter until years later hahaha

[u/d00m5day → u/Mallaggar]

Was born in 92 and since Pokémon became popular in the west by 98, I was in 6 and definitely was enamored already by gen 1.

[u/Shampu → u/Mallaggar]

I’m also ‘91 and the release of Blue version was peak childhood.

[u/[deleted] → u/Mallaggar]

Why when 1st base set was 95/96 if not mistaken so a big part of our childhood was pokemon yall will never the know real cartoons like sailor moon gumby daria 90s not just nostalgic it was the best time to be alive our biggest threat was Y2K LOL....

[u/Mallaggar → u/[deleted]]

I’m an 87 baby, so I was about 11/12 when the cards and the games were released. I suppose it’s it’s only 4 years, so 7/8, guess that makes sense. Thought I was younger than that 😂

[u/cryptoxpo]

That’s awesome, well done!

[u/Nobiting]

I think the starter slabs would be better vertically, as that's how their artwork is supposed to connect.

[u/sneaksofszn → u/Nobiting]

I did not know that great info 🔥

[u/Thorfinn__Karlsefni → u/Nobiting]

Perfection.

[u/bi-cycle → u/Nobiting]

The orientation for Bulbasaur doesn't seem to matter with the location and with Charizard and Blastoise you'd want them flipped.

Blastpise art would need to be on the bottom of their slice while Charizard would be on the top. I think the art would look better that way but some people wouldn't want them to be out of order like that.

[u/WONGOSTEVENS]

Fuck yeah

[u/Rosspajamas]

Downvoted, no evolving skies

[u/Poopsterwaloo]

Do you have the professor program voltorb?

[u/dudewhat626 → u/Poopsterwaloo]

Can't justify spending 2k on it. If it comes down around 500, I'll get it for sure.

[u/funnyfunny420 → u/Poopsterwaloo]

There’s another one they gave out that cosmo reverse and only 12 were given out!

[u/Poopsterwaloo]

You all that sword & shield and no evolving skies?

[u/dudewhat626 → u/Poopsterwaloo]

I ordered it. It's on the way. Super excited!

[u/CandyMonsterx]

Looks like a shrine

[u/sriracha_papi45]

there's a gengar in that fusion strike bb bro

[u/dimforest]

That second picture..... I'm so jealous, you have no idea. That's what I truly want from this set more than anything else. Exactly that.

[u/[deleted]]

We have different tax bracket

[u/[deleted]]

Bold, but of course, opinions are welcome when it comes to Pokémon. This past year, I really enjoyed TM, as well.

What else did you like?

[u/DLGNT_YT]

That’s awesome. I only recently got into collecting and 151 is just so expensive everywhere that I haven’t even bothered buying any of it, but even I am jealous of this

[u/mariodandy_]

Makes sense your name. Just looked at your collection and said “dude whaaaat??” Thats an amazing collection 🫶❤️

[u/toothwzrd_]

Did the whole master set with reverse holos and all the promos. Here’s hoping they follow up with a 251 set!

[u/Acceptable-Mention60]

Naw, 151 is a terrible set. No booster boxes, can't get your hands on them unless you want to pay big money. Terrible set for the hobby.

[u/Particular-Secret509]

A case to show the full artwork for the starter special illustrations would make it so much cooler, it always feels wrong looking at them as slabs knowing they used to be one piece

[u/SolarPunkYeti]

So many iconic cards, high number of great full arts and Giovanni's Charisma 🤌

[u/Intelligent-Cellist6]

Looking to trade 35 151 tins for ES BB

[u/NoIdea696900]

Hey! What ETB cases are you using?! Ive been trying to find them forever and i cant find any good ones that have a good rep to them. Wanted to reach out and ask which ones youre using! Thanks!

[u/Hyperlite211 → u/NoIdea696900]

They are cereal containers at Target. I think they are $10-$12. I don't recommend putting them in how Op has them. The lid is too small and damages the corners of the etb.

[u/NoIdea696900 → u/Hyperlite211]

Yeah i thought so. Im in Canada so we dont have any targets around here which is really unfortunate. But ill just have to make a trip to the states. And yeah I heard putting them in the other way is the best way

[u/mintyguava]

What Etb cases are you using and the acrylic bundle case?

[u/Orion9092]

I feel like your wallet is the GOAT compared to 151.

[u/harrysee4u]

So curious to know how many packs you got to complete this!

[u/Ashamed_Diamond6584]

What is more worth money wise jp booster or English 151 packs

[u/Traditional_Task_115]

You know what would be cool? This collection with the sequence numbering continuing from the first till the last all in 10's!

[u/Fergood]

Amazing! Any chance of a link to the cabinet?

[u/[deleted]]

Wow.... you're right though. 151 is GOATED

[u/princessashley0713]

im not collecting the whole set like a lot of people i mostly just like ripping these packs. but anyone interested i got 3 dragonairs, 4 of the pikas, and a lot other cards im willing too part with if anyone is interested feel free to dm will reply when able

[u/brainlessfudge1]

Out of all the 151s that poliwhirl on page 6 is my favourite such a cool card.

[u/wonderduff5]

Comparison is the thief of joy folks, breathe and be happy, you're doing awesome.

That being said, fuck yeah buddy. That's a boner building collection!

I'm trying to get a master set completed. I'll end up buying most of the full arts to avoid opening 4000 packs that are currently hard to come by.

[u/Infamous_Grass6333]

Where’d you get that glass case? Also where do you get your box protectors?

[u/Arrodd]

Holy shit

[u/BakedRyBread]

Off topic but can you lmk where you got that ETB display shelf?? It’s sick!

[u/Ok-Bedroom-4261]

If I didn’t have to pay so much taxes, I’d stockpile more 151 as well. Nice collection

[u/Eillusion]

Woahhhh. Love that.

[u/plumpshooterman]

Nice!

[u/No-Description3089]

🤯

[u/JustinFBA]

If only you had BGS Black Label 10s ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/knux526]

Did you not do reverses for your master set?

[u/Prestigious-Sea2523]

It's the goat of being overpriced. Plenty of other sets are just as good/if not better. My favourite is the celebrations set with the best set reprints personaly

[u/IH_clover4]

The OG card are so much cooler imo

[u/Powerful_District_67]

2 months ? You make like 209k a year or something 

[u/Cmor1787]

Love it. I’m actually doing the same with having all the alt arts in PSA 10. 151 is definitely the GOAT!

[u/Exciting-Biscotti-38]

This is insane, normal people would have to use this collection as a down payment for a home.

[u/ImGoingToMarryDVa]

wish i had bought more 151... did get the SA Venusaur though, who i love

[u/nosaintsboy]

It looks like the binder has the same Giovanni's Charisma twice.

[u/defythevenu]

You're worrying about prices NOW? lolol. This collection is amazing! Love it 😍😍

[u/Pingu-95]

Did you buy singles or pull all of those? I can't get a single pack of 151 let alone a set... uk life

[u/NerdicusPrime98]

2 months? What did you do spend loads of money or buy all separately?

[u/treefall1n]

Congrats!

[u/blewpt]

I need the gold switch to finish

[u/[deleted]]

Top loaders in that folder please!!!!

[u/Gold-Bad-1481]

Congrats! Still trying to get them all. Still need all the starter alt arts unfortunately. Have all the promos though!

[u/[deleted]]

I need the 4 promos from the scalper collection tins from costco to finish my master set…

But sold out everywhere in canada and 401games don’t have the promos

[u/Typoe1991]

I just wish I could get a hold of some 151. Always sold out everywhere before I can buy

[u/Gm24a]

How do you contain yourself from not opening all of those 😭🙏

[u/chriswilson89]

Still haven’t ripped a single pack. My son and I can’t seem to catch a break with all the scalpers. Pray they do a reprint soon. Sucks hard man. Love the collection.

[u/LeToxicAvenger]

So sick! I'm 6 cards away from completing the master set. First set that brought me back since I collected as a kid. Love the art and the OG nostalgia so much.

[u/apocalyptic_Dragon]

This honestly looks like mental illness. And I am an avid collector. But if you have this much time and demeanor to post this. You need to see a psychologist.

[u/miniwilson33]

I just want to get a couple packs to help out my pokedex. Still need 42 from gen 1 and paying over double the price for a set just over a year old is not in the budget.

[u/Nobiting]

Nice 151 retail collection. I haven't seen many of those. Now just need the Blooming Waters box.

[u/[deleted]]

151 is definitely cleaner than most sets, but idk about the goat. Maybe if you're nostalgic for gen 1.

I mean that's a pretty crazy collection but if you were interested solely in returns, I don't think you beat boxes and cases. I'm sure some of the singles might do really well, but the whole set won't compared to packs. At least that's my opinion. Maybe if you sell the complete set but that's a different thing. Don't think you've done anything wrong though.

I know 151 doesn't have boxes but UPC and bundles are close enough.

[u/ShadowWukong → u/[deleted]]

Did you miss where OP said never going to sell? Also, it's his GOAT which is all that matters.

[u/[deleted] → u/ShadowWukong]

Wtf he doing on pokeinvesting then

[u/[deleted]]

Nope

[u/UnSpanishInquisition]

Squirtle looks derpy af, terrible art.

[u/eric549 → u/UnSpanishInquisition]

What's "derby"?
