I'm a casual collector, been buying booster packs and boxed collections off and on since around 2020 and have pulled some really cool cards; the last amazing pull I had was a hyper rare Candela from a Japanese Pokemon Go booster (which I'm assuming probably isn't all that special since from what I've heard the Japanese pull rates are better but it was my first rainbow card and I was in disbelief for a week haha). This is definitely the best one I've pulled since then. Apparently it's worth about $100 CAD! Not that I'd ever sell it, mind you; I collect them because I love the art.
I went to costco looking for the prismatic mini tin bundle and didn't find it but I did find the charizard super premium collection so I splurged for that and I'm glad I did! I also got full art cards of Poppy and Carmine, some of my favourite characters in gen 9. I have no idea how to use the card display statue though.
Also yes I know I should probably have this guy in a plastic cover but all I have are sleeves so he's sleeved and in a binder for now. I probably have a few cards that should have plastic covers (I do not know the proper term for them if there is one, sorry, lol) just sitting in my binders so I do plan to get some eventually.
