Niche sets with exclusive artworks + consistent artistic throughline

have been interested in collecting more sets that have exclusive artwork and have consistent artistic throughlines.

for example:
-Pokemon Rumble set
-PokePark set
-Pokemon Prime
-Gold Stars

what are some others like this?

If you could expand on what you mean a little better that would be nice, there are tons of different sets and promos throughout the history of pokemon, from what I can tell I think your looking for a consistent theme between cards

Do you mean something like BREAK cards where they all have the same theme? If you could clarify that would be great

Also I don’t know what your considering “niche” to my knowledge gold stars and primes are decently well known

Maybe the japanese PLAY promo series? a lot of the cards have an interesting 3d modeled kind of art, i like it a lot but it’s not for everyone

They’re not all the same artist but they kinda look the same to me

Unseen forces Unown alphabet subset

B&w and d&p shinies look similar too

i meant more having consistent artistic style across the cards. like how the rumble series are all very unique miniature interpretations of each pokemon or how prime cards are a bit darker and zoomed up.

EX Sandstorm is one of my favorite sets because of the environmental storytelling throughout the cards. Also makes me think of @cyberurchin’s Secret Oasis project: Pokemon Art Project 2025 - Secret Oasis

I agree 100%. This is still my favourite shiny set they ever did and I would love if they would do something like this again in the future.

Expensive, limited, and shiny :sparkles:
This set of L-P promo cards has always been cool to me. 5000 copies of each card printed

Shoutout @HumanForScale for his article on it

A decent option for you would be starting an artist collection i think. You can build your own exclusive set featuring cards across all of Pokemon all done by the same artist.

Ill also second the worlds cards idea. Ana promos, jr rally, carddass 97, vending, trainers mag, natta wake, are some others u may be interested in
