Same! I still think its one of the bottom sets for wotc, since its all reprinted art. The firework holo has grown on me a bit, since its only in this set. But its still reprinted art.
Personally, I like it for the same reason that I enjoy collecting Shadowless vs Unlimited vs Base Set 2. It’s fun collecting subtle variations of art that is nostalgic for me.
I also think the reverse holo pattern is the best in the entire TCG.
I wouldn’t like it if it didn’t have the reverse holos. I gotta say I do really love the firework holos. They don’t seem mass produced and have low PSA pops which adds to their allure. The park artwork is also very cool.
I’d much rather have a legendary reverse Holo than any of the stamped reprints any day. And more than unlimited base, fossil, jungle, neo set holos too.
Never been a big fan of LC. Much better than Base set 2 but still meh. Galaxy and Dark Vaporeon though.
LC feels like pure milking but done in a tasteful way. It’s the kind of product you’d expect from a company that has become lazy and complacent but still knows how to entice their customers with sparkly legacy-pumping products. In a weird sort of way that makes it a little bit attractive. Like “business as usual”, but good. Look no further than the booster box/pack arts.
I’d probably like the set better if it had a better set symbol and no reverses, but I’m torn about that.
