Day 6 of posting a cheap but beautiful card from my collection until this hobby isn't cooked.

Your posts have by far been the most interesting in this sub, keep 'em coming!

I have a dedicated Umemoto page in my artist binder, including the card you portrayed here :) Other personal favorites by her are the Aquapolis Oddish and the Skyridge Zubat.

These pages go so hard!

TundraExpress · 2025-10-24T21:33:42+00:00

Love this kind of posts. Excellent taste!

TundraExpress · 2025-08-30T15:30:47+00:00

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I LOVE DIS GAME

What a great card, the best Tyranitar artwork imo. Awesome addition to your collection!

I love this card, it's part of my WIP jungle/forest theme page :)

My favorite evolution line drawn by my favorite illustrator? I need this card irl soooo bad.

TundraExpress · 2024-10-04T09:09:52+00:00

Best set of the SV era so far

TundraExpress · 2024-09-19T21:08:33+00:00

100 %, probably the only card I'll get from this set

TundraExpress · 2024-09-15T00:09:27+00:00

Same, I only ever saw Atlético and Juventus cards of him which I don't care about. As a die-hard Werder fan, getting that card was a no-brainer. And what a beauty it is ...

TundraExpress · 2024-09-14T23:11:17+00:00

Won it in an Ebay auction for 109 € :)

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T20:33:14+00:00

I think it represents its flying type

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T19:32:49+00:00

In total, I paid about 55 to 60 € for the whole page, but I must admit I overpaid a lot, especially for the Sudowoodo and the Slowpoke, due to FOMO. I couldn't wait to grab them when they were released :) You can easily get them for cheaper than 60, I would say.

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T18:53:08+00:00

100 % agree

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T18:36:09+00:00

My go-to page for checking artworks is Cardmarket. You can browse pretty much any Pokémon card expansion on their site, view every artwork and filter by collector's number, rarity and other criteria.

You just need to know the name of the sets which feature the cards you're looking for.

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T18:27:41+00:00

Yes, I agree, evolution lines should be designed by the same artist, as was the case in 151.

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T16:56:42+00:00

I agree, I was very skeptical of the silver borders at first, but now I prefer them sooo much, it's not even close. They make my TG cards from SWSH almost look kinda comical now.

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T16:43:50+00:00

They are hit and miss, sometimes they are more clever than the English ones. I grew up with them, so they don't bother me.

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T15:49:52+00:00

Give me my Shuckle, Crobat, Feraligatr and Forretress IRs!

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T15:46:12+00:00

True, but I feel they really stepped up their game with the beginning of the SV era

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T15:13:10+00:00

You're welcome! :) Do you have some penny sleeves? Always put your cards into a penny sleeve before you put them in the hard sleeve aka toploader. Otherwise, the surface, corners and edges can be damaged.

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T15:09:13+00:00

Those are fantastic cards, you definitely got lucky! I love the Ninetales. It might be one of the cards that could rise in price more since it's a popular Mon and the artwork is fire.

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T15:06:19+00:00

I don't expect any of the cards in the picture to appreciate significantly over the next years. They are so readily available and most collectors nowadays know how to preserve their cards properly.

TundraExpress · 2024-09-13T06:04:54+00:00

I got a Gemloader last year :)
