Which is your favorite one?
Do you prefer these or the GB1 promos?
My favorite one is the Mewtwo due to the background. I love the electrical wires, making it look like it’s in Team Rocket’s lab.
I prefer these to the original GB1 promos. I think that these are more unique.
I like all of the GB promos personally, they’re very popular and well-received. My personal favourite is the GB Lugia. The colours (blue and silver and white), the way the holo shines, the Sugimori artwork…all of it really resonates with me. The Mewtwo is a gem too
Once again you’re posting about one of the greatest promo sets ever just like Jason I love each and every card of the set. They are very unique and I can’t even say which one has the edge for me!
Nice picks Tolan! If anyone is after old japanese back promo’s these are a necessity. For awhile, the Mewtwo card was rarely available. I remember a long time ago when I first saw it, I was not sure if it was real since it rarely hit the market.
The Mewtwo card is my favorite of the two (in case you didn’t notice), but the Lugia’s artwork is probably my favorite example of lugia. It reminds me of a prize card for some reason.
Ken Sugimori artwork on a colorful background can’t be beat. That lugia is just the best!
Also, for those of you who like the Mewtwo, check out the Houndour (#39) from Neo Discovery. Same artist (who actually illustrated a lot of great cards!) and similar background.
