This is the last batch of my end of year binder page completing rush, in the same binder than the type pages are some of my favourite pokemon and pages dedicated to them and all except one are now finished. This time not a single page i’m showing is about a single pokemon but some duos or groups instead.
I’m starting with the one i’m most excited about, during last year or so i’ve been more and more falling in love with the design of xerneas and especially yveltal so i wanted to build a spread of all unique artworks of them, it’s a shame photo captures basically zero of it but all of the left page is different kinds of japanese reverse holos and the right page is english holos. The artworks itself are gorgeous but the looks of the holo patterns takes the in hand feeling to next level and makes this one of my favourite spreads in my collection. The yveltal full art is also my clear favourite full art and a prime example why the full arts are still best cards to showcase the pokemon itself without anything extra, the combination of black, red and gold combined with the ominous pose is pure perfection.
Also a spread i like a lot, a collage of my favourite fossil pokemon and even overall some of my top favourite pokemon like aerodactyl, kabutops and aurorus, and it’s still a shame how few cards amaura and tyrunt lines have gotten
And few single pages after the spreads, regis are also something that have started to grow on me a lot during this last year and being able to make a page of them with that cracked ice ex middle row did make a beautiful entity. After that a page of my wife’s two favourite pokemon, bulbasaur and larvitar, and to wrap it up a re-completed page of metagross line
