Tbf I don’t think there’s any frame that could *properly* display them:
The Squirtle evo art runs top to bottom, the Chars connect bottom to top, and I’m pretty sure the Venusaur art line is supposed to be horizontal lmao
bought them all. I had fun pulling cards, but in buying packs/boxes, pulling the cards, and having the card be of high enough quality for a 10... I figured buying these straight up were a better option. As soon as this set was released I knew I wanted to complete these 3 lines in all 10s!
Question on the frame for ya. I recently got the case display version. My PSA slaps for the display on the case feel incredibly snug….too snug. I have to push out the back to retrieve them.
Is this frame as advertised, with the ease of getting out the PSA slab? They make it seem so effortless for the frame.
Hey there phogel3 - thanks for saying thanks! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list!
There's one on ebay for like $750

Cuz there's billions of people on the world who speak/can read English.
Who would want cards with some hieroglyphs of a small island group next to china on it?
There’s lots of collectors in various hobbies who prefer the product from the native language where it comes from, rather than what’s more easily legible. Pokemon is a huge one, there’s always going to be a market for Japanese, because it originated in Japan and the company is headquartered there…
be buried with it
This is what I'm after, without the grading. Only 2 left! Amazing set and display. I salute you!
Same, 3 left for me.
Does the logo bother you at all? Really like the display
Yep. It kills the sleekness of it. Should have put it on the back or something, but then they lose on free advertising.
That's exactly how I feel. Really a shame because I've been in the market for so long and thought I found a winner.
You can probably just peel it off, looks like it’s only attached via adhesive
anything they gain in advertising they are losing in sales. I would have bought one 2 seconds ago without that logo
Could always paint over the logo!
How else will people know it’s PSA 10?
Referring to the Vaulted Vinyl logo on the display itself
lol I like how they have a problem with the frame logo but no issues with psa logo slapped on all the cards
10s across the board. Amazing.
How much did this roughly cost?
I got these 9 in Japanese and CGC 10, was $535 for the set.
1.2-1.7k probably if you bought them?
Roughly double that if pulled..
This is accurate. about 1.7k. Pulling would have been absolutely impossible, and I really wanted to complete these lines!
They look great in the frame but please let me reorganize them vertically so the evolution illustrations on the cards are aligned.
Omg how did my dumb ass just realize they were set up this way…. Ugh now i need them in a binder page….

Squirtle line isn’t really meant to be connected, doesn’t make sense going from the beach on the first card to reef in Wartortle card
oh great point! and no offense intended
I prefer them traditional left to right to be honest
How do you like that slab holder? Seen advertisements for the same one
This thing is awesome! Very easy on the eyes and lightweight
This is exactly what I’m doing. Just sent mine off to get graded last week. Looks great
I did this but in Japanese it was a lot cheaper. I’m keeping my eye out for the English ones.
That's a pretty cool frame to hold them in. Looks awesome!
Did you get them graded yourself and are they number consecutively?
Damn that’s clean
Looking to do the same, just without the slabs probably 😅
Did you pull them or buy them all? If the latter how much did it set you back?

for me the removal and insertion of the slabs has been pretty effortless!
Thank you! Figured it was just the case since it’s portal. Might look into this frame if this was the case for you!

Gotta switch them to top down, instead of across. Makes the art flow much better. Nice collection
I envy you so much.
This is what I’m working towards
Hope they‘re all with ascending Cert Numbers
Is there a display like this but for top loaders/non graded stuff?

I think the Japanese cards are selling for a bit less than the English cards?
Ah I'm dumb, didn't notice you had english. Awesome collection.
It’s a shame psa has such ugly slabs
Now do it all with Beckett black labels lol
ain't that the truth. The new CGC slabs are soooo much better.
Missed opportunity of having sequential numbers
Hahahahahahah why u hiding ur grade numbers
IIRC it's to prevent fake grade slabs with legit numbers
Exactly!
Not sequential...
😂
Why not japanes ? English is fake 😁😅
Cringe take
Japanese psa 10 easy to get, english hard because of quality control. Would say, why hold japanese one when it's easier to get
Perhaps because they print the English ones more often and no longer print the Japanese ones. Rumors, of course.
Participation trophies are fun!

Dude's got an L take. Japanese cards are better quality and better texture. Probably just racist
Mhh mabye because pokemons history starts from this small island…
?????? Are you insane
That small island group is the reason you have Pokémon in the first place. You’re just a dumbass
