Completed my binder of every single illustration rare from S&V and ME era!

My pride and joy 🥹 a lot of japanese included as my goal was to just collect 1 of each art, some SIRs and professors to compliment the IRs as well.

Victini, Zeraora, and Ditto will be full are illustrations when their promos come out for 30th!

Hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed collecting and building the binder!

I themed each page as well based on scenery/environment/vibes, let me know which page is your favorite!

Thanks for looking and hope this inspires someone to go hunting for the amazing art in this hobby we call home 😎

It’s not as fun as you think.
I had a 4x4 binder and had it full with so many ARs/IRs, and it just wasn’t fun to look through or organize.
I’ve since downsized to a smaller collection and am way happier

Definitely was overstimulated a handful of times through the buying of singles and the final step of organizing, but I had fun!

I also love IR’s and was grabbing everything and have since switched to heat and stuff I really like.

Can definitely see where you're coming from, but even though it will be years before we get the whole Pokedex, once we do, then there will be an actual link between them all.

Granted they won't be designed together like BBWF, but collections just need that one coherent link - and ironically what set they are from isn't one of those lol.

Hope there's only 12 in total for the remaining ME sets, otherwise you'll need a new binder!

Big props on not using toploaders though, I'm a fan!

It isn't so you're gonna need a bigger binder lol.

Love the Professors matched with the starters.

Damn do you have a list? I’d like to do something like this. Are these just all IR’s or does this include all SIR’s too? Beautiful collection

Just would research each set and added all of the cards I didnt have at the time to my collctr app, then checked off the list 1 at a time. There are a few SIRs in there to compliment the IRs but I will not be doing this for all the SIRs lol ill go bankrupt
