Most overrated set?

Legendary collection. Not a single unique art in the entire set.

But, But, But… L.C. has the Reverse-Holo Cards that we all thought were just fake cards growing-up! Haha

Firework reverse holos tho… at least the water ones are cool

I look at your legendary collection and I raise you a base set 2

I don’t understand the hate for Gym Challenge and Heroes! I love those sets! Also I don’t know if they are overrated (Well at least not until recently anyway) as until maybe a year or so ago most of the holo’s aside from Charizard were reasonably priced.

If I had to pick one I would say Fossil. Even though I grew up with it and I love the set for nostalgic reasons the holos and rares are pretty bland aside from Dragonite and Aerodactyl. I really am not a fan of the Ditto from this set, I mean what is the background a upside down chess board?!

Base set 2 is not overrated though

If you consider the playability of the set for the time, the opinions here could be tossed on its ear.

Fossil Articuno?!

As for the Gym sets, I don’t like seeing artwork on cards that I have already seen before in strategy guides. I can completely understand why people would like those sets, but they just don’t fit my tastes.

I’d say these two wotc sets(if we’re talking about artwork when it comes to holos since they’re the most hyped cards) are overrated because pretty much anything labeled ‘wotc’ gets fawned over by a majority of the community. I still think they’re good sets on their own but don’t live up to the ‘wotc’ hype

Team rocket ~ pretty much carried by dark Charizard and dark blastoise, not including dark dragonite because I don’t think the art is actually all that good(light dragonite is way more appealing imo), the rest of the set is pretty meh

Gym heroes ~ Id say I like Erika’s Dragonair, Rockets scyther, Sabrina’s gengar, and both moltres are decent, but the rest of the set is average

The rest of the wotc sets are pretty great to me, whether we’re talking about them individually or under the label ‘wotc’

And if we’re talking about prices, obviously Skyridge sealed makes no sense in regards to the prices of the cards, but everyone knows that lol

I actually think the Team Rocket set has some of the best artwork in the game. Dark Magneton is one of the most beautiful cards in the TCG, in my opinion, and some of the non-holos like Dark Rapidash, Dark Dragonair and Dark Charmeleon are gorgeous.

What I think holds it back for many collectors (other than the fact that it represented the first time we didn’t see rookie cards) is that a lot of the holo cards in the set are of unpopular Pokemon (Weezing, Vileplume, Hypno, Golbat, Dugtrio, etc.).

Funny enough, I think Dark Charizard is actually one of the weakest artworks in the set.

Fossil Articuno is nice but still not that exciting, I prefer fossil Moltres but then I prefer Gym heroes Blaine’s Moltres and Rocket’s Moltres over the fossil one. But that’s just my taste! If everyone liked the same it would be boring

I really like Gym because it just feels like that did something a bit different to the other WOTC sets, and I like the Gym leader’s being on the cards as it reminds me so much of them from the games. I do feel the artwork has a bit more to it than some of the other early WOTC sets. If you look at the Japanese cards as well Sabrina’s Gengar with the tombstones in the background of the holo is one of the coolest artworks!

I was entirely with you on this one until that last sentence!!

Can’t even do it, the artwork and layout are terrible. I mean sure they’re shinier than WOTC cards but I even dislike the font they used for EX haha.

I disagree with both of you on Dark Magneton. It’s just looks like a piece of silver that was cut up by a Katana with all the scratching in the holo 99% of the copies have, also I was only talking about holos which is why I didn’t factor in Dark Rapdiash/Dragonair/etc

I do agree with you @Fireftw_TCG that Dark Charizard is brilliant though. I love the simple design and the menacing look of Charizard looking at us through the card
