Toybot's Rarest English Pokemon Collection - Gapless Base Set 0

[Toybot]

Hey guys!

Been a while since I said much cause I hadn't had time because I was working on the last 2 Collections of my 2021 Pokemon Collections.

I'll reveal "Collection #3" another time when it's ready(oh boy can't I wait) but honestly I am a bit away from doing that.

I had to pause #3 because I had come across the rarest English Pokemon and I had to jump on this big time.

Waiting on a couple more items to come in before the reveal as well as sleeving/loading 1000+ cards from the Collection.

Whaaat? 1000+ doesn't sound rare- you wait  

 

 

 

Update:

 

Here we go. What I dub as Gapless is commonly and badly referred to as 4th/UK Print, the confusing Base 2000 or stale 1999-2000 print of Base Set.

 

Here's some of my collection. Still waiting on the rest.

Hey man, just want to say it’s really cool that you enjoy this nuanced set this much and have been able to find so much of it. It’s clear you’re very passionate about collecting and you enjoy the journey which is what it’s all about, and I’m sure you’re far from finished! I appreciate you giving us a look into what you’ve been able to amass.

I am equally as passionate about early ex era, but mostly the reverse (stamp) holos, regular holos, ex’s, and gold stars. I buy way, way too much of it and thankfully my day job pays me enough money to support my early ex-era Pokémon polydipsia.

Keep hunting my dude, I know these aren’t easy to find that’s for sure. I also know the chase and what it’s like to want it all, and that ‘collector rush’. Hard to put into words but you pick up what I’m putting down. It’s a fun ride man. Catch ‘em all.

Definitely nice unlimited set. 1st edition and shadowless are soooo expensive so sticking with unlimited is smart.

Pretty hard to find the 2000 Zards in decent condition without paying a fortune.

I just had a Charizard Base Set UK 4th print 1999-2000 graded a 5 and I’m having trouble determining a resale value on it, as I can’t find any comps to it. Does anyone have any ballpark idea of its value? Thanks

Is the gapless between the name and the image border?  How can you distinguish between the other releases?

It’s 4th print base, aka 1999-2000.
