Sharing my (US) Fossil Grandmaster Set
Just wanted to share the scans of my Fossil (US) Grandmaster Set. I define this as all 1st Edition and Unlimited cards as well as the "additional cards" listed on Bulbapedia: Prerelease Aerodactyl (both versions), W stamp Kabuto, and US-released 1999-2000 prints. I also have a corrected Zapdos.
A quick note on scope:
Errors: I don't include error variants in my sets, so I don't have the 1st Edition "Stain/Smudge" Haunter, "Cigar Stain" Hitmonlee, or the "Slash" Krabby. I do hope to add them at some point.
US vs. International: This is strictly a US Grandmaster set. I don’t include the 1999–2000 Australian 3rd print run due to how scarce and expensive those have become, but I remain on the lookout.
Impossible Cards: Bulbapedia also lists the WotC employee exclusive cosmos holos, but these will be impossible for me to collect.
I've also included scans of the opened 1st edition pack wrappers I've collected for this set (Lapras, Aerodactyl, and Zapdos art).
I got back into collecting in January 2024 when I went home to my parents' and found these buried in my room. The core set was mostly completed during my childhood, minus the promos/additional cards which I've picked up since. Most of these cards were originally pulled by me, went straight into penny sleeves and toploaders, and remain in NM/pack-fresh condition. All cards are currently double-sleeved in sealable perfect fits and clear standard sleeves, housed in fresh toploaders, and stored in an Arkhive.
I also have master sets for Base Set Unlimited, Jungle (grandmaster), Team Rocket Unlimited, Gym Heroes Unlimited, and all of the Neo sets that I retrieved from my parents' house over subsequent visits. I’ll keep posting them as I get everything scanned.

Just thought I'd share and I hope you enjoy! :)
