I agree, but better those than anything I’d actually like to collect. They keep the attention elsewhere

People always said the deoxys reverse pattern works very well on that card, but they kinda left it at that. The new crowd took that statement and applied the $$$ to it

EX era is kind of in a state of inflated hype. Investor brain dictates that prices must go up now that Gen 3 fans are “coming of age” and able to spend more

gasp Heresy!! This card is and has always been special. Like drinking out of the hose. Except you can do magic with this card, especially hexes, Sableye don’t play. I mean just look at him!

And since it looks like I’ll be fighting anyway, may as well wipe the mat with all of you softies in one efficient splattering of human carnage

If you hid where it said “Pokémon” at the bottom and showed this card to 100 random people, I bet most would think it came from MTG or YuGiOh.

Feels more like a cult worshipping than a niche trophy card imo.

Mirage Forest Omanyte

Seems that this card is starting to gain popularity in Japan because of the artwork. No matter the Serial Code or if it’s 1st Edition/Unlimited …

As a direct consequence, everyone there started to treat it as a “Holy Grail” and skyrocketed so much … :confounded_face:

This Omanyte exists as 1st Edition and Unlimited with 4 Serial Codes each … so, 8 cards in total … As an Omanyte Species Collector I decided to wait until price decreases … The worst of everything is that is not Japanese exclusive artwork. It appeared in Western languages and T-Chinese in Legend Maker.

I was more focused on Omanyte stuff that are actually much rarer to find such as WCP Unlimited :japan: & XY10 Unlimited :japan:

(I know that I’ve shown this photo 1000 times, but I’m proud of my achievement …)

At least I have the Legend Maker Omanyte in Portuguese …
