Personally I kinda like the 1st place but completely dislike the artwork on the 2nd and 3rd place. Overall I am a bit disappointed to be honest (as I was with the Victory Rings before).
TBH, I’m over the whole Legendary, Starters, Pikachu (3rd Place) Trophy setup Japan has been doing the last couple years.
Like the US stepped their game up with Full Arts, which was sweet. I just wish Japan would throw us a curve ball with these and do something totally different…
Watch people buy these off of Yahoo Japan for 1500 bucks with Mummy and Daddies pocket money and then panic sell them for 800 bucks 3 months later when they realise nobody wants them. Alternatively they send it in for grading and it gets a 9 and their world literally crumbles beneath their feet, because a PSA 9 obviously means the card is trash.
I agree. The first one is pretty good, but the other two are really lackluster considering they are Trophy cards. They look similar to any other trainer card you get in promo sets these days…
1 and 2 are okayish but the number 3 is awful in my opinion. The trouble with these are that they are a display of accomplishment… it’s more how you obtained the card than what it looks like so I wouldn’t expect drastic changes any time soon.
