My Roaring Skies set.

Today I went through & finished an Excel document which lists all the different Pokemon cards I have.

I only started collecting around March of this year, so I don't have all that big of a collection yet. My most complete collection is Roaring Skies, which came out just about the time that I began to purchase packs in stores. I usually buy the 3-pack blisters with a Promo card. I made the mistake of buying too many blisters & getting too many doubles. Which all the doubles I was getting, I figured I had more cards than I actually do.

In reality, I am missing 40 cards from this set, not including the various holo cards of which there are also normal prints. Here are the cards I am currently missing:

8. Dustox - rare
15. Talonflame - rare
17. Articuno - rare
23. Zapdos - rare
26. Thundurus EX - EX rare
31. Banette - rare
32. Banette - rare
33. Deoxys - Holo rare
34. Gallade EX - EX rare
40. Absol - Holo rare
45. Togekiss - rare
46. Togekiss - Holo rare
52. Dragonite - Holo rare
57. Salamence - Holo rare
58. Latios X - EX rare
59. M Latios EX - EX rare
60. Rayquaza EX - EX rare
61. M Rayquaza EX - EX rare
63. Reshiram - Holo rare
64. Zekrom - Holo rare
69. Skarmory - rare
72. Swellow - Holo rare
74. Altaria - rare
76. M Rayquaza EX - EX rare
77. Shaymin EX - EX rare
84. Healing Scarf - uncommon
89. Sky Field - uncommon
98. Thundrus EX - Ultra Rare
99. Gallade EX - ultra rare
100. M Gallade EX - ultra rare
101. Latios EX - ultra rare
102. M Latios EX - ultra rare
103. Hydreigon EX - ultra rare
104. Rayquaza EX - ultra rare
105. M Rayquaza EX - ultra rare
106. Shaymin EX - ultra rare
107. Wally - ultra rare
108. Winona - ultra rare
109. Energy Switch - secret rare
110. VS Seeker - secret rare

As you can see, most of the cards I still need are some form of Rare, except for the two Uncommon Supporters. All of the other cards from Roaring Skies that I have, I gained through purchase, except for 3 common/uncommon cards I traded from someone on Reddit /r/pkmntcgtrades . I'll try to update on this blog when I get any new cards. My goal is to complete the set before the Ancient Origins comes out in August. 

Introduction

Hello to all who read this,


This... is Berk(mon).

This is my official introduction to the world of Blogging. Well, not really. I have several other blogs which have not been kept up to date. This one will be different! Well, maybe.

As for content, I intend on writing about several of my interests or hobbies. Currently, these include - in order of interest - Pokemon TCG (physical & online), How to Train Your Dragon, U.S. stamps, & coins. Initially I'll keep my personal life out of it, unless it gets really interesting really soon.

Thanks for reading & welcome to Berkmon!
