Someone asked me regarding this card in the past week and I mentioned I’d dig it out, silly me I forgot who for (apparently the last card required for a master set) well I found it and will put in in the binder Saturday if I don’t hear from you beforehand 🙂

Many new additions for my collection, some beautiful cards from a wonderful gift 🎁 thank you Louie ☺️

It is no secret that I am a massive fan of Tomokazu Komiya’s artwork. His distinct, beautifully idiosyncratic style brings an unparalleled level of whimsical charm and vibrant texture to the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Every single card he illustrates feels like a miniature masterpiece bursting with personality.

A touch of vintage charm meets contemporary masterclass. ✨

I have embarked upon a rather magnificent new endeavour: assembling an Ampharos collection. To establish the grand scale of this project, I have secured the perfect bookends to frame the journey.

On one side, a near mint, pack-fresh Ampharos 1/111 1st Edition Neo Genesis Holo. On the other, the breathtaking, brand-new Ampharos (Illustration Rare) 090/086 from the freshly released Chaos Rising expansion.

It is truly fascinating to look at them side by side. A massive 26 years of Pokémon history separate these two pieces, mapping out the incredible evolution of the TCG. We transition from the classic, clean-cut geometry of Ken Sugimori’s legendary original artwork straight into the rich, deeply textured, and atmospheric storytelling style of Saino Misaki. Two wildly different eras, yet both capture the magnificent essence of our favourite light Pokémon perfectly.

The master set checklist is printed, and the hunt for the missing pieces begins today (chilled pace).

I should love to know—does anyone else have a definitive favourite card from this particular evolutionary line, or perhaps a master collection of your own in progress? Do let me know in the comments!

A 1991 three-car garage, curated without compromise. 🏛️

If forced to select the ultimate motoring trio from the turn of the decade, this would be the definitive lineup. The otherworldly, transverse-V16 excess of the Cizeta-Moroder V16T. The brutalist, avant-garde styling of the Alfa Romeo SZ. The sublime, mid-engined purity of the Honda NSX.

Naturally, when Laudoracing released their exquisite rendition of ‘Il Mostro’ in 1:64 scale, it became an absolute necessity to assemble the triumvirate in miniature. There is something immensely satisfying about seeing these distinct design philosophies sharing the same tarmac—even if it is just across a desk.

PS: Display garage is back in stock at £16.00
