Yesterday was an interesting day for me as a Pokemon collector. I finally put together all of the Yuka Morii cards, went over them one by one, and thought to myself “yes, this is a nice start”. With 25 cards in the collection already, we barely scratch the surface. Even so, I am now determined to find even more cards from this artist!
A Decent Yuka Morii Collection So Far
With just two trips in the books to my local card game shop and their wonderful bulk bins to sort through, early collections are taking shape.Yes, I bought 146 cards just last week, although I was looking for Unown cards specifically. Guess which cards I did not get any of? Unown.
That being said, I did pick up a lot of cool cards accidentally. Well, I say accidentally, but we all know nothing happens by accident when collecting Pokemon cards. I ended up bringing home an additional 4 Yuka Morii cards too. There’s always a handful of those in the 25 cent bulk bin, to much delight.
With these 4 new cards, my total now sits at 25 cards by Yuka Morii. It is a fraction of all of the cards ever designed by this artist, but it is a good start. I am also fairly sure I have more of them in my other unsorted cards, but these are the main focus for now. We all have to start somewhere, right?
And I think my initial 25-card collection is decent. We have cards spanning several sets and eras, which is nice. Ultimately, I hope t o see the evolution of Yuka Morii art through the years. She has been a part of illustrating Pokemon TCG cards for quite some time now.
What Comes Next?
Well, the obvious next step is to organize these Yuka Morii cards into one or two binder pages. My binder supports 12 cards per page, so with 25, I can fill up 2 pages and start a third. Hopefully we can give the third page some more love after the LCS visit this Friday with some more bulk bin goodness.
Obviously, I will keep focusing on yuka Morii cards moving forward, but not as the primary goal. It is one of those “back of mind” things you go through while collecting Pokemon cards. The main focus is still Unown cards, but I keep a list of artists and cards I already picked up during recent bulk bin hunting expeditions.
Even if I were to pick up a duplicate Yuka Morii card, it wouldn’t be a bad thing. At 25 cents per card, it is a very cheap way of trading other people for cards you may need, or to gift them to a friend. You can never go wrong with these cards, to be honest, which makes collecting so much fun.
