Today’s Question:
QotD: If you could magically make a set get reprinted into oblivion, which set would you choose and why? (this was a suggested question)

Helpful Considerations: Favorite art set? Limited print set? Van gogh Pikachu promos?

Japanese Promos. Some are cool and it seems like people really like them.

But being selfish, probably the Versus set. So many nice looking cards that would be pennies.

This was my question! Woohoo!

I would rain down evolving skies on the masses. This has been insanely overpriced from the start. Umbreon Vmax Alt Art was never a sane price and even the rayquaza vmax alt art was insane from the start. I just think that in print sets should be affordable to masterset. I don’t say it for my sake. I have pretty much all the expensive cards. I have umbreon vmax, I have rayquaza vmax already. Other sets are similar in how unobtainable they are for most people anymore, and thats sad. But this set in particular has been the most anomalous set in the history of pokemon cards, and it baffles me.

EX Deoxys. Not oblivion but maybe Neo Genesis levels. Gold Star Romano is stupid.

Evolving Skies. I want everyone to have a Moonbreon. Hell, you can all have 10 each. I want the world to be buried in moonbreons so that it dies. So that I can finally rest and never hear about it again.

Maybe Neo Genesis so a PSA 10 set without a dozen printlines on each holo could be a real possibility.

Call of Legends! I absolutely love the SL subset, it would be so fun to chase the complete subset by opening boxes and it would be entirely possible since you get 2 per box

EX Deoxys to make the Goldstars more affordable

It’s a toss-up between Team Rocket Returns and any Delta Species set. The chance to pull the gold stars from Team Rocket Returns would be amazing.

I wouldn’t mind being showered in cards from Aquapolis or Skyridge!

Whichever set will do the most financial damage to scalpers and stonkers. The less people there are that are just in it for the money the better.

Evolving Skies? Prismatic? I don’t really care.

SNAP 1999 dectet, so the chance of completing my Pikachu TCG collection one day at least seems somewhat possible (although those Japanese Art Academy Pikachu prices are also rising way too fast to my liking :sweat_smile: ).

Or the upcoming Team Rocket Returns Again set (forgot the set name :sweat_smile: EDIT: Glory of Team Rocket), so we can all buy as much as we’d want.

The Snap contest should have been like the original Illustration contest, where the winners had their photo made into a card, in a full pokemon snap set like vending. Perhaps they could have made a Todd type Illustrator card for the winners.

Team rocket case :upside_down_face: I’m not that into collecting trainers, so I can’t justify their price but who knows, maybe one day!

100% yes! CoL was so fun, it’d be positively wonderful to have the opportunity to open packs from it again.
