★Shiny Pokemon cards★
This was actually my first a bit more serious pokemon collection. I tried to get shiny cards even before I joined pkmncollectors, but of course I didn't know many sources to buy them then, so I just had to buy boosters and hope for the best. I managed to pull a couple shinies, but most cards here have been bough individually.
I'll sort my cards by Pokemon, set or type (shining/star) But first, here is the awesome binder I bought to contain all my shiny cards. I really hoped, there would be a binder with some shiny Pokemon art on it, but I couldn't find any. So until they'll make one, my cards will be in this.

Shining pokemon
These are the oldest shiny cards, but I have only two of them for now. Their art isn't as great as most newer shiny cards, so I'm not going after them seriously for a while. I got Raichu from my best friend and Magikarp was bought.
Gold star
The Pikachu star was my first and long time the only shiny card. I didn't even realize it was shiny, before I actually started hunting, but I always liked it because its "I'm the mighty PIKACHU!"-pose amused me. Afterwards I bought Charizard and Mew from a boy, who was selling his collection in my city's pokemon league.
Gold star Eeveelutions
Kanto and Johto Eeveelutions got their own Gold star card. And being the Eevee fan I am, they are quite high priority for me. It's sad how rare the japanese holo version of Umbreon and Espeon are, so I can't have them all to look same.
Shiny Raikou
Shiny beasts have enough cards (3 each, a Gold Star, a Call of Legends SL and a Promo) of their own to get separate sections.
I only have one Raikou at the moment, the HGSS Promo card.

Shiny Entei
Got all shiny Entei cards, yay! The Call of Legends one in the middle is my favorite.
Shiny Suicune
My favorite beast. Again I'm missing one of three, this time the awesome Gold Star card.
Stormfront set
After EX sets Gold Star cards were left behind and shinies started to appear as normal cards, not bound by special rules anymore. 4 following sets got 3 shinies each. I bought most of them at the same time from Toywiz. I really love Drifloon's pastel colors.
Platinum set
I got Vulpix from a friend as a thanks for ordering something for her. Still missing Lotad from this set.
Supreme Victors set
Yanma has been my avatar shiny some time now, so of course it was on priority, when I started shopping for shiny cards. I looove it. <3 Relicanth and Milotic are not bad either.
Arceus set
Shinx is one of my avatar shinies too and I really like Ponyta (Although the art could be better in my opinion) and Bagon too.
Call of Legends set
Call of Legends set got whopping 10 shiny legendaries! I have pulled 4 of them myself (Kyogre, Palkia, Ho-oh and Suicune) and bought Lugia afterwards. 5 more to go.
Promotional cards
These are my only japanese card. I prefer to keep my cards in english, but I don't have too much against japanese either, especially if it is the only shiny card from its set, like these are.
BW sets
I don't have that many yet, so for now they can be together, even if Serperior is from Dragons Exalted, Emboar from Next Destinies and Blastoise from Plasma Storm.
Jumbo cards
These are special jumbo versions from TCG gift boxes. I need at least Primal Groudon and Kyogre still.
