I believe just these three trainer cards sold far, hard to see the checkerboard pattern but the scans might just be washed out

lol did cgc tint their scans blue so they looked better with the old lables
I think it’s a combination of bad printing on the actual card, washed out scans and my whitebalancing skills which have significantly improved since I made these images

May be an unpopular opinion but I love these unique trainer arts especially lass, computer search and imposter professor oak.

Same! When I had an opportunity to buy them privately those were the main appeal because of the unique art.

Did you buy a set privately or if not was there a reason for passing on them?
Like everyone else just trying to get an idea how many sets are out there.
I noticed pallettown has a bunch in cgc slabs now after there video showing off a big binder set of this stuff.
I also prefer the trainer cards over the pokemon

I like them too. I was going to bid on the mini skirt one but it got too high.

I passed. The offer price was above why some cards are currently earning in auction.

Thank you
The pika Alpha proto did insane tonight at Sotheby’s but the other pokemon stuff felt low
Yeah the signature added nothing to that illustrator apparently and the charizard went for just normal charizard price

Alpha Prototypes Horizontally Stretched Pokemon Green Sprites
Something I noticed is that all the alpha prototypess have horizontally stretched Pokemon Green sprites. Out of 5 slabs that I randomly sampled and compared against the original in-game sprites I was able to measure an average stretch factor of 1.23074.
Conclusion
Given that the placement of the sprite within the box and the stretch factor is inconsistent across prototypes I think that each sprite was stretched randomly until a sense of visual balance was achieved.

I knew something was off about the sprites aside from them being flipped. Good observation!

Does anyone have a link to images of the corocoro pages that featured images of these cards? Would be cool to know a complete list of the cards that were featured in corocoro (and any other instances where these cards were publicly displayed at the time)
Can someone please help me translate the text in the voice bubble on the right side of the Pokémon breeder card? Curious what it says and can not seem to figure it out. I was able to translate the left side via deepl

The text below should be correct, the translation is the ChatGPT 4o interpretation
right side:
そだってないポケモンいたら
“If you have a Pokémon that hasn’t grown…”
left side:
そだてますよ
“I’ll raise it for you.”
