Prime cards : what do you all think?

Hi ! I know that prime cards are not very appreciated, but I still believe that some of them are pretty cool. I personally love Lanturn, Feraligatr and Ursaring.

What is your ranking ? Here is mine :

Honestly they look better than almost all CGI half arts that came after them.

They are more cohesive than all of them for sure with a stronger design aesthetic and style.

I don’t collect them personally, however here is my tier list!

I’ve always thought the Primes were a good aesthetic idea, but the boring CGI poses didn’t take full advantage of the “mysterious/menacing” vibe.

Only Gengar & Mew pulled it off properly with posing, lighting & colours IMO.

Not gonna do a tier list, I just really don’t like them lol. Artistically they feel lazy, but also feels like a waste for the rarest pulls for the HGSS block to be these. Again Gen 2 gets shafted. TPC Try to give Gen 2 proper treatment challenge!!! (IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTY)

They are the canary in the coal mine for turbo ultra bubbles

Prime cards don’t even deserve the recycling bin. Send them straight to hell.

I got a prime steelix that I love. In “totally perfect” condition. @ddk can vouch lol

But on the topic, I think Prime Cards are some of the most hit-or-miss cards I’ve seen. Some are really cool, like the Lanturn, but others are…

I think Lanturn prime is really nice :slight_smile:

I think they’re really boring and uninspired.

Back in the day, I could have bought the JP Daisuke Umbreon Prime PSA 10 for $400-$500. The only reason I regret not buying it is because of money. I still don’t like the card.

I wish I liked them more, but overall I view them as a blemish on an otherwise stellar era.

Just like others, I’m not a huge fan. If I had to rank the Prime cards alongside other cards, they’d almost 100% end up in the D row.

But, since it’s just the Prime cards, I ranked them relative to one another. Even so, I couldn’t put any into the S row..
This time the rows themselves aren’t ordered (they’re in release order instead).
