*What are the Top 10 Pokemon cards in your collection?*

Even after competing regionally when I was younger, I don't have any of my cards left. I used to have some beautiful base set cards. As time went on I had to sell them all (my family was really poor so I had to help buy groceries). However, now I have two. I recently purchased a PSA 9 Japanese Here Comes Team Rocket in addition to the 25 anniversary English version at a 10. That card always eluded me as a kid because I could never afford it. I'm so grateful that I have been blessed enough to be able to get that card, even if it is over 20 years later. I hope to get a Japanese Lugia from the first set of those at some point. That was the pride of my collection as long as I had it. Anyhoo, you asked for our favorites. Thanks for the content, homie. It's nice to feel nostalgic.

The best cards in our collection are absolutely every one that my son and I pulled back in 1999 to about 2002. We have complete sets of everything from base through Team Rocket Returns. While there are few that would grade a 10 or even a 9, the memories of opening them are what I truly treasure from those years. I have many incomplete sets since then, and some killer cards, but they don't mean nearly as much. Thanks for an awesome video Lee... your passion for the hobby is palpable, and we are blessed to have you.

Your channel is so nostalgic to me and I can't believe it has been 3 years since I started watching your videos when there was nothing else to during lockdown. We are the same age, so probably have very similar nostalgic memories of collecting Pokémon cards in the late 90s/early 2000s. Your channel brings me warmth when I watch it. Thanks man :)

I am Japanese. I'm using translation software, so I'm sorry if my English is bad. Actually, I'm not a collector, but fate brought me the 10 cards from Pokémon Art Academy x Pokémon Card Game winner's prize that make up my top 10. "Mame Akimaru Pikachu""pikamania Pikachu""Y Fujishima Pikachu""Sayaka Maruyama Pikachu""gogotake Pikachu""Daisuke Ochiai Mudkip""Mio Muroi Goomy""iwaiya Sableye""rina Gourgeist""Ginga Pikachu"

My favorite item is my 1st edition shining gyarados. It is my favorite because it reminds me when I played pokemon silver for the first time when I was a kid, uncovering the gyarados in the lake was so magical!

Super awesome, love that you appreciate the rare items not just cards ❤️

Thanks for the video Lee! I haven't really got a top 10, I have started collecting every Psyduck card with my boy though, currently they are probably my favorites.

Love the transparency on pricing, and the authenticity surrounding your personal choices. That really brings light and passion to a hobby that’s so emotional. This is great content.

Love this video!! Need to do more of these. Miss these type of videos

I love when Pokémon KZfaqrs show there collections! Also I love your vids so much you always make my day. The things you have in your collection CRAZY the base set booster box, base set booster box and the psa 10 signed charizard are definitely my favourites.

Love your passion Leonhart! Keep up the great videos! I remember when you opened that pack for #6... I felt your pain the same way when the packaging was ripping in such a bad way.😅😅

This was honestly my favorite video I think I've ever watched of yours!! I LOVED hearing the back stories and seeing your most prized possessions of the pokemon world! I love watching all of your content. Keep being an amazing streamer and pack opener!! I get to live my dream through your videos because I will never be able to own most of what you share! Absolutely amazing!! Much love!!

awesome top 10 to see! My favorite has to be the 1st ed 9, i remember that video and reaction as if it was yesterday. Can't believe its been that long

My top one has more sentimental value to me. You autographed my PSA 10 of the Charizard art rare from VMAX Climax (with Leon in the artwork). Then got to open a Base Set 2 Pack from your vending machine. Truly one of the most fun moments of my life, all thanks to you!!

Great video, love hearing you share your pokemon collecting journey and seeing you enjoy sharing your story with us, great to see you are happy man. Cheers mate & have a good weekend.

I've got a 1st edition base set Venusaur from my original collection which I just love so much.

WOW... what an amazing collection! Thank you for sharing this and all the stories attached to each card. Very cool.

Love seeing your collection man!!! So pumped for you and just the journey you’ve made! My highlights are my shadowless machamp first edition and my rayquaza psa 10!

Pokémon is more than just the physical cards and amazing old gameboy games. It’s who got them for us as a kid. It’s the excitement of pulling those holos over the actual holo itself. It’s our memories we shared with friends while enjoying anything Pokémon. My special cardboard holds the keys to unforgettable moments in my childhood that I cherish.

This is so great to watch as you got some amazing things here, while some of my favorite things I got is the Jumbo cards as I hang them on my wall, plus some of my favorite cards are the old Japanese cards that I have managed to get.

Before I sold all my cards in 2008 I had an amazing collection that I am just now slowly trying to rebuild. Right now I have the big 3 base set, non shadowless, Lugia, Umbreon and Pichu from Neo and a 1st edition Dragonite from Fosil. I have some other but those are my main ones. What I want to work on is getting all the shining Pokémon from Neo.

this one hit right in tha nostalgia💯💯 another banger video as always bro

These are GORGEOUS! I am surprised you didn’t show off the theme deck inside of a case like the booster box 😅

I was expecting some rarer stuff, but this is definitely neat to see. Amazing collection.

Number 6 feels like so long ago. That was when Pokémon was full swing again and the whole world was in on it . Good times🥲that video was in such a good period of my life and seeing that clip made me smile✊🏽

did you have 5 items that weren't just a pokemon card haha. Love it. Maybe do top 5 favorite art works for different eras (Sword and Sheild, XY, etc.)

I love these videos they pop up on my feed every so often even though I’m subscribed

Keep up the great work Leonhart, love the work you are doing.

Ultra prism got me back into collecting but I still have some of my old childhood cards. As primarily an eeveelution collector, my dark espeon, my espeon ex, vaporeon ex and flareon ex from back in the day really hold my heart. Also have the original three flareon, jolteon, and vaporeon from jungle in the holo version and barring any major veterinary procedures, I’ll never let them go. More recently I pulled the charizard alternate art from 151 and it’s the rarest card I’ve ever pulled myself. That’s a different feeling of giddy. Pokemon will always hold a place in my heart. It was something me and my brother shared growing up, something we related to and something we both loved. He took his life in 2019 and and it’s something that still makes me feel close to him and brings back so many memories both good and bad. I’ll forever cherish those memories and keep collecting because let’s face it, I’m a hoarder with poor money habits and pokemon just feels good. It puts the smile on my face when sometimes little else does. It’s amazing how something like this can bring a vast community from across the world together and keep us together this long.

You are the one that got me collecting Pokémon cards and now I have my grandsons collecting also.

@leonhart where did you get those original game plaques in your top row?

Love videos like this. Pokemon means so much to me and has my whole life, so I love seeing things like this, showing things that also mean so much to people. Pokemon really raised a lot of us, or also helped us express ourselves as who we are, and that means a lot.

Well I have neo genesis card set only missing 2 cards I'm thinking about getting some graded if anyone could give advice on which ones and how to do I'll be greatful thanks

I haven’t watched you since 2021, I’m glad you are doing well. Great video

Wow! That skyridge collection is amazing.

Love your collection and the passion you have for it! I have a lot of cards that I need to grade but my best ungraded is a metagross gold star prob gonna be a psa 6-7ish bc it’s not the best condition wise. My best grades card is my 2016 CP6 Japanese Blastoise secret rare PSA 10. Pulled it back then and only graded it recently.

Makes me sick that I had all these cards when I was younger.

Awesome Top 10. Can't wait to see what else you add to your collection.

Fabulous collection 👌God bless you for keeping this going everyone who opens

My favorite card that I have is a base set Chansey unlimited set. I also got a gold card from the Pokémon GO set. Thank you for posting a video that is helping me not think about the weather.

Ah, the mention of trading on the bus hit me. That brought me back to many specific memories, thx.

I have the big 3 base set mons in german (my language) in first edition, from when I pulled them. My mom put them in a picture frame as a gift when I was younger and kept them ever since. They are in great condition (no whitening/bends/specks) due them behing behind glass all this time. they are priceless to me.

Hey man, great video. I wish you would do more like this. Show your genuine self, and just talk about the hobby.. even it is while you are opening up some random S&V set

COOLTRAINERYAN SAYS HI

deffinately my zapdos from fossil, only card i have left from my childhood, working on my collection again now so hopefully soon i can pull a moonbreon and more.

I was able to purchase two of the Celebrations UPCs at MSRP and (expectedly), both of my Pikachus and one of my Charizards came scratched/defect straight from the clamshell. I missed the boat on the inital PSA submissions for the UPC Metal Charizards and carefully stored my 2nd one. When PSA finally updated their process and reopened I sent it off on the basic tier, and me getting the call that I have an upcharge in my submission (for the first time) made it really memorable and its nice to have a card I bought myself at MSRP come back a 10. Honorable mentions are my two Hidden Fates Zards that both came back as 9's, were an extremely nervy cracking process, then both came back as 10's the 2nd time :)

Please more like this Leonhart!!! I miss the older videos of you talking about your cards and going out in the wild to buy packs. I don't mind you opening old packs, but I care more about your personality in videos instead you pulling expensive cards. I hope all is good in your life!!!

My favorite cards from my collection are a set of reverse holo castforms from Hidden Legends! I have all the forms, but I love the rainy in particular bc I pulled it myself in 2004 and kept it until now. My favorite pokemon!

Mario/Luigi Pika set in PSA 10 is my best

Really awesome cards and stuff. I bought every starter Holo from the base set. I just wanted to have them in my collection. They are not 10s but very important for me ❤

Owning a CGC blue label copy of the Charizard AND Pikachu Gold Metal cards in Pristine 10 myself, I have always wondered who owns the ONE Perfect 10 copy of the Charizard 😂 Nice to finally know 🎉

You were too rough with opening that 1st edition base set pack. That's probably why it got a psa 9. Awesome collection, I envy you.

A couple official unique Pokemon items in my collection are a jumbo corocoro Charizard and an actual racing windbreaker with the Pokemon logo on it

I didnt have 10 favorite Card. Because i have 1 favorite Pokémon and i artwork that i love and have the japanese eevee heroes Special card from the XXL box. The Espeon VMAX Alternative Artwork in a PSA 10. Espeon is legit my favorite Pokémon if all time and i love that arteork so much. Too have the card makes me so unbelievable happy its creazy ! ❤😊 But thanks to share this video with us and have a great time with the card and your Family Leonhart !

how do I buy a 1st Edition Eglish box.?

I fell strangely connected to this video; I am currently in Japan for my two year-delayed honeymoon after saving up and I am loving every moment of enriching myself with the culture and pokemon scene. I laughed when I saw the little clip of you and Mewtwo cause I did the same thing a few days ago lol

I wish you would stop believing and saying that Skyridge art was affected by the loss by WoTC of the rights. The art was from JPN, and the WoTC wasn't responsible for commissioning any of it. It was created in JPN for "The Pokemon Company" and Wizards just did the English translation and printing design. Now, if the mythical, lost set "Jamboree" had ever seen the light of day, you could say that had WoTC input and influence. But it was not.

Just a great, positive, chill video 🔥

I'm just starting to collect pokemon cards but was interested from way back, my top and favourite one is the IR Charmander from 151, it has the cutest and cleanest art of the set

It's amazing that you've been able to do this. I lost my entire base set, base set 2, team rocket, some Japanese, Fossil, and Jungle cards in hurricane Katrina in 2005. Really wish I would have bought sealed cases when they were around $600. I was just caught up in work, family, etc that time passed and now it's impossible. I almost pulled the trigger on one base set for $17,500 a few years back but couldn't justify it with three kids and wife. All I have now is Pokemon Yellow and Crystal version that I found at a local Bookmans to keep my emotions in check

Whao thats awesome i was there when i lived in Hawaii. I remember my friend got a tropical pack with only reverse hollows got into a fight in school and everyones pokemon cards flew everywhere and someone took all the tropical cards and he was heartbroken for like the longest time.

That slab signed by Arita is also one of the last ones before it became mandatory for all Arita signatures to be personalized to someone

your collection is absolutely amazing

my possibly most valuable card is a first edition shadowless alakazam holo. one of my favorites is an Erica's venusaur, that my mom got me from a yard sale several years back for 10$ ( along with 500 other cards in a binder) such an amazing day !!

Do you think you would ever open that case if skyridge theme decks? Its awesome.

I remember watching you pulled that 1sr edition char the day you uploaded it. I remember dying when you stood up and just when I thought it was all business attire, you were in shorts 😂😂😂😂😂.

I love this series

I’ve got a 1st edition Ivy Pikachu, sealed W stamp Dark Charmeleon, prerelease Clefable, 1999 PokeTour Pikachu, 1st edition Dark Riachu and sealed E3 Pikachu.

Love it! Awesome collection!

My top cards in my collection are my 9 graded holo hitmonchan and 6 graded holo scyther, just bc they are my 2 favorite all time

That’s zard was super special Covid zard. Plus watching poketubers like you helped kept me claim through out that hard time. My favourite card in my collection would have to be a flareon holo from jungle. First holo I ever pulled

Love your love of squirtle 🐢

296/XY-P and 294/XY-P expensive now but tomorow impossible to buy....

my favourite collection items because theyre a set, my pikachu N64 with pokemon stadium 1 and 2, the gameboy adapter to play my pokemond red and gold. have the gamecube combo as wel with coloseum emerald and pearl

Leonhart just casually showed us $1,000,000 worth of collectors items in this video. Holy moly.

It's one of your best videos.

That Skyridge collection is absolutely 👌👌

Great back stories!

Ill need to go back and look at my collection

🎉🎉🎉 very nice collection. Congrats!

You have no idea how many times I have had the Celebrations UPC in my cart with the mouse hovering over the Buy it button but I just can't justify a $400 UPC, I can some how justify spending hundreds on graded slabs and booster boxes but I already have the master set of Celebrations so the only thing I want from the UPC are the metal/gold cards the pins and the box (I really like the UPC boxes like the Charizard and 151 boxes) I really need to just bite the bullet and buy it because it's only going to keep going up in price.

I pulled a Shining Charizard as a kid from Neo Destiny and have kept it (and the rest of my collection) all these years. :)

I fav collection of all time has to be my raw 1996 Japanese Fossil Mew which I'm thinking of upgrading to a graded one sometime in the future since I love Mew growing up watching the series in the 90's and coincidentally my older brother love Mewtwo and he has a 1996 Japanese Mewtwo Unlimited and the 2016 XY Evolution version both graded PSA 10.

My “best” card in my collection is a psa 10 holo dark gengar. However, the card that means the most to me is the golden snorlax card I pulled in the last pack of the first booster box I ever purchased!

Reverse holo, that’s a rare!

I always thought the Ishihara card was Jackie Chan just because the animated drawing just looks like him lol

omg the flash cards are soooooooo sick whattttttttt

My fav set of all time is Ex Team Rocket Returns 😊

Whoever sold that 1st edition charizard in 2016 for $18,000 is punching the air for the last few years. literally 3-4 years after he sold it, it became a $500,000 card then dropped way down.

My favorite things in our collection is my Inteleon deck. Inteleon was my partner in the first game I ever played so he will always be my favorite Pokemon.

Japanese Sabrina’s Gengar with the graveyard background is my most prized card that I own 😈

I cannot believe that Charizard went into that sleeve…. 😢

Need to get my reverse legendary Charizard graded, but I'm too paranoid

I’ve been collecting Pokémon cards since I was 12, I’m now 37 and continue to collect with my two sons. I have opened thousands of booster packs from all types of sets and have never pulled ANY version of Charizard. It’s always a heartbreak when I come home with some booster packs for me and my kids to open and we all get excited thinking this is the time we’re going to pull one and then… nothing. Well at least not a Charizard. That being said my favorite card I pulled is Aroma Lady secret rare 😅 it’s become a running inside joke in our household. Also very fond of my japanese version base set Blastoise, moltress, Sabrina’s Alakazam, and team rocket Mewtwo.

I loved this video thanks

My favourites are an ancient origins lugia full art and a holographic fossil raichu. My collection is very modest in comparison to yours lmao.

Honorable mention is a christmas gift like those advent calendars. Neat holiday season though I hope this year they don't use pikachu again.

Some of my favorite cards my older brother gave to me when I was a kid,he gave me three Japanese cards and one English card and they were holo Dark Machamp,holo Giovanni’s Gyarados and non holo Blaine’s Dodrio and then a English Dark Gyarados,Charizard is my favorite Pokémon and one of my favorite Charizard cards is the cracked ice holo from a Evolutions pack.

Number 1 for me is my PSA Shiny MewTwo from Hidden Fates. It's my favorite set and my favorite Pokemon. It's not worth much but to me it's my favorite
