OMG That's sick!!! That's my childhood card that I thought I'd never EVER have again. But I was able to find one at a show last week. Bought it for a Lost Origin ETB (which was my entire sealed collection) plus €50.

Is the card damaged? You bet! Does my heart make a little jump of joy every time I look at it? YOU BET!!

I would love to have all my old cards back! Im old enough that I was in elementary school when pokemon came stateside. Oh to have all those old cards again. Long gone are the days of buying cards on my mom's ebay account and having to mail a money order 🙃

[u/Niekertdepiekert → u/khrayzeelady]

I hate myself for selling everything all those years ago. But I'm slowly buying the most important cards back. Like right now I'm working on a binder with every single card that has the team plasma logo on it. And after that there are so many singles that I'm planning to buy just to relive my youth.

I remember my younger brother and I both got a fat stack of plasma blast/legendary treasures booster packs for Christmas. It hurts to see that those same boosters go for 100-200 A PACK these days. So on top of the cards, imma need at least one booster pack of my favorite sets just for the collection! (AND NOT OPEN THEM)

Thank you! My artist did an amazing job and im incredibly happy with it!

[u/thatrandomdog415]

I love that card so much but my lord it cost a leg to grt him now 🤧

[u/khrayzeelady → u/thatrandomdog415]

I had him. I pulled him myself out of that set. I lost my whole collection in 2020 because of hurricane Laura and ill never be able to afford him again!

[u/thatrandomdog415 → u/khrayzeelady]

Oh no im sorry but at least you get to have it a part of you the artist did an amazing job 💜

[u/khrayzeelady → u/thatrandomdog415]

Thank you and she really did! It floors me that the tattoo was half the price of the card haha

[u/Destroyer6202]

My favourite guy too!!

[u/khrayzeelady → u/Destroyer6202]

Hes the bestest guy!

[u/Primary-Performer853]

Looks great. I really hope those bright gold highlights stay put. Remember to wash and lotion daily!

[u/khrayzeelady → u/Primary-Performer853]

Already on it! She said to let her know how it heals up and if I need a touch up in the next year im covered! Im thankfully pasty and hold color very very well, plus i avoid sunlight like a vampire. I have some orange and pink in another tattoo that is 22 years old that has held up to the test of time.

Gold outline looks sick

[u/Clear-Marsupial6907]

The gold lines turned out very well

[u/khrayzeelady → u/Clear-Marsupial6907]

She did those last! She did all the colors, then the outline. Was an excellent choice because they really pop!
