Show a card that you like or appreciate! Big or small, it dosen’t matter! Only rule is to have fun and carry on. You can post a card everyday or from time to time!
Going to go with this one. I had an English and a Japanese one come through my hands while middle manning. Got a little more appreciation for it seeing it in person.
Steam Siege Druddigon! Unbelievable art by kawayoo and I have a reverse holo of it that’s very sentimental to me. Got it maybe 8-9 years ago when I was a kid and I love the washed-out look the rest of the card has from poor printing. Really adds to the misty art.
I grabbed this the other day while thumbing through a binder just because I liked the art. I didn’t realize how much I liked the art until I got home and looked at it more. $1? Cmon
I’ve been really appreciating the non-holo versions of popular holo cards. This Houndoom from Aquapolis is stunning as is. I would go as far to suggest that the holo subtracts from Kusajima’s illustration and palette.
When it comes to Legendary Collection, the reverse holos get all the attention (and rightly so). While the regular holos are less exciting, one overlooked fact is that it’s the only way to get Dark Vaporeon (and Dark Persian) in holo form. The galaxy holo pattern is often overshadowed by the cosmos holo, but I feel it works well for cards with muted color palettes such as this one.
Set hack: just make every card holo. Commons, whatever. Today 8/26 I’m thinking of this majestic dawn Eevee which was kind of meh for me in English but the Jp exclusive holo is, as the youths say, a banger
