What are some of everyone's favorite common cards?

I love a good holo or ex, but what are some commons that have always stuck with you? Be it for the art, the story of how you got it, or anything that drew you to it. I’d love to hear from people! Here are some of mine:

Omanyte(Legend Maker):

Hippopotas(Ultra Prism):

Scraggy(Dark Explorers):

Not a common, but probably my favourite WoTC non-rare/holo card.

Always loved Omanyte from Fossil

and imo almost every common/uncommon from the gym sets have great artwork.

I aspire to be like this Slowpoke one day.
Also this Wailmer card because of that artstyle and the rainbow (?) behind it.

Delibird is the best

I was lucky enough to get that omanyte reverse in my only legend maker pack opening! Its at psa now

Base set Machoke and fossil Golem just absolutely smacks me in the face with the power of a thousand doses of nostalgia, every time.

Hey I literally just had that reverse Omanyte arrive at my door today :blush: Anyway here are a few of mine:


Not quite sure why Charizard is a common but it counts lol.

This card goes unnoticed, if you look closely, there’s actually a Larvitar standing on a piece of land in front of his reflection in a body of water.

Technically his is a common in Japanese, but rare in English — either way this is one of my favourites!

Since some of my favorites have already been chosen, I´ll take this one:

It’s virtually impossible for me to select my favorites.
I’ll just go ahead and say all Himeno arts from Jungle and Fossil and all Komiya and Kusube arts in general.
And even then, this leaves out hundreds of great cards (early Sugimori, Kimura, Arita etc.).

I almost chose that one! I know it’s a bit of a circlejerk, but there really are so many great ones by Komiya :blush:

This card is literally my identity

But I also love many other common cards as well like the Psyduck Joakim posted, it’s one of those cards that always puts me in a good mood.

And these are just perfect together:

These Totodile cards make me happy as well:

For some reason I love this Dratini a lot too:

For sure there are more commons that I love but these come to my mind straight away
