The Celebration Fanfare has been an ongoing set since 2018, formerly called Player’s Ceremony. All have been illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno until this year. Japanese player who acquire enough points receive one of these. Every year I’ve looked forward to seeing the next one and here it is

Love it! 2021 was my first player ceremony, and I love the evening style contrast with the day time of last year. This is a must buy for me.

I think I like this new one the most. It feels a lot less busy and the Pokémon stand out more.
(Is the sky what they call ‘negative space’??)

That Bidoof tho! Glad they are continuing this release! Similar vibes to the Worlds promos, but more limited. I hope they remain a staple!

Does anyone have resources on the raw and graded values of these cards? I love Kagemaru Himeno’s artwork and might have to pick these up.

The previous years used to align with worlds. So they should hopefully drop soon.
