Happy Thanksgiving to those in the States. Hope you were able to get your hands on some Pokemon Black Friday deals like the Gamestop UPC (I was not 
). Here is the November artist proofs update, which comes with the major announcement that I’ve now completed the first 151 Pokemon! 
And we did it under the 2 year mark from the first of these posts 
.
Without further ado:
We start things off with Eric Deschamps, who previously did a nice Regirock. I decided to get another AP from him, this time with an Igglybuff performing minimize to match the Diminish art. He is also a Pokemon Go player and I added his FC during the SGC event.
This one isn’t strictly in any of my Kanto/Johto collecting lanes, but as an MTG Player Quest for the Holy Relic used to be one of my favorite equipment decks, so I really wanted to get something related to that art. The art is vaguely treasure related, so I asked Greg Staples to add a Gimmighoul.
This update actually knocks out 2 of the 3 Johto starter final evolutions. I really like this fierce Typhlosion from Dan Scott. This was actually bought from another collector and not directly commissioned by me.
The next one you might not guess immediately, but…
Speaking of Buts, Drew Tucker did this amazing Feraligatr. For those who know, this is actually a tongue in cheek reference to Feraligatr’s 3rd generation back sprite, which many users mistook for a large behind!
You might already be able to guess what the next one is from the shape.
Yep, it’s attack mode Deoxys! By Jeanne D’Angelo. Her colors are really superb.
Jeanne also had the honor of finishing the last piece of the 151 that I was missing.
With that, it’s a wrap on the original 151. Does that mean I’ll stop collecting? No, not really. I’m still going to slowly make my way through Johto and other regions. The pace will slow as it may be when inspiration strikes though, so this could be the last regular update for a while. I’ll post again when I figure out a good way to display the 151, and maybe take some high-res scans along the way. Thank you all for following me through my MTG adventure, and I hope you’ll get your own Pokemon APs in the future !
Oh P.S., I plan to do a live stream Q&A session about MTG artist proofs in general (what they are, what’s their market value, how to get them, how to meet artists etc), and perhaps show off a few pieces, this Sunday 9pm EST on my Youtube channel. Please drop by and say hi if you can!
