Yep, but the sleeping mellow one is just on a different level. :blush: In general though: Swablu has some great artworks imo.

That Espeon card art is incredible. perfect art for that Pokemon.
The mew as well because in the movies/games Mew is a Pokemon that hides and is hard to find. And in the art Mew is hiding in the bush. So perfectly fits the Pokemon. Love it nice choices.

The Crystal Lugia is one of my favorite cards of all time. And of my favorite Pokemon of all time.

I don’t have an ironed out top 3 exactly but here are several cards that when I see them I think “that one is top 5/10/whatever”. Trying to base this mostly on cards I think have strong identities/are iconic and not just my personal favorites but my biases are pretty apparent.

1999 Tropical Wind

Rayquaza Gold Star

Shining Gyarados

Giovanni (the 20th Anniversary one)

Scream ___ (pick your favorite, I’ll say Psyduck or Mimikyu)

Arceus/Dialga/Palkia GX Alt Art

Probably some more… I guess I own most of these but why would I buy cards I don’t like :stuck_out_tongue:

That Crystal Celebi and gold star rayquaza are straight up grails! That tyranitar is sick also. Definitely agree with your choices.

Gold Star Pikachu is one of my absolute favorite cards ever. The art is so sick. Love how they portrayed Pikachu. I own two of them.

The reverse holos from the Legendary collection are insane. How on earth did someone capture this effect? Did they scan it or something? The card looks so much cooler like that on screen. Incredible.

Scans. Yet the bigger question lies on if WOTC had official scans outside of what magazines recieved in store for them?..

Another awesome detail to the Legendary Collection is the GB glitch sprite effect the holofoil inlay appears as up close as scales.

Surely the middle one was meant to be a shining gyarados :blush: but I +1 all the gyarados votes on this thread haha
