I’ll start: Look at this art rare Ambipom and matching berries binder page I saw on rednote! Makes me wonder why they haven’t made full arts for the berries yet, pretty cool!

(Way to many ideas) I am thinking about displaying cards in a diorama. The scream cards for example one after another in the right order along the railing.

Check out this crossover between the video game and TCG! The Gen 1 starter cards in Professor Oak’s lab.

You want to put the scream cards on an actual miniature bridge diorama? If you add the sky from the painting as the background, you’ll transform the way you see those cards. :heart_eyes:

You could also add a twist with a custom card of the ghost trio being scared of the last one in rotation that leads first lol. (i think its mimikyu?)

I can’t afford these cards. I’ve thought about getting proxy cards, but that doesn’t feel right. I’m wondering how big the background would need to be, though.

Maybe not a card but a miniature. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

This is great. I had plans to frame my Gen 1 starters at some point, but not with such a good frame idea like this.

Start small with one card and one display. It would be a great way to display such a very valuable card. Putting something yourself is really rewarding too.

This was just an example I was willing to give away. I have already way to many projects.
(EDIT: And even one card would be to expensive.)

Someday if I find the time, money, and energy, I want to put squirtles inside a fishtank (without fish) and then continue the artworks inside the fishtank, this could be one card at a time or just several cards in one tank but here’s a rough drawing of what that would look like

How would you protect the cards from the water?

I haven’t looked that deep into it but in modern day technology I’m sure I could figure it out

You could test your setup with water energy. :wink:

Another idea: Place this card in a display case and arrange soda cans and computer equipment around it. Maybe some Eeveelutions in the background.

Project moving computer graphics onto the glass of the display case—scrolling text, numbers, diagrams, similar to the graphics in the card, maybe even some Eevee graphics.

Use old, recycled dummy circuit boards! They can serve as the background and you can add blinking LED’s or small OLED displays with simple wire connections on top to build depth.

In a similar respect, your idea would go great with one of my favorite trainers. Soldering circuit boards is my day job too, Bill and I even look similar funny enough.

I have a Samsung Freestyle projector, I typed in ‘hacking’ into Youtube and got some pretty fun results! I like the look a ton but the cards need a bit more light coming from the video. The text is very high quality in person!

Maybe the cards need their own light source.
