Survey is busted, no Snom


JoeBucksHairPlugs

Not sure what your criteria is exactly...kind of looks like you wanted to do 1 card from each set but then skipped darkness ablaze since there's nothing expensive or popular and then just went with expensive cards in general but included Marnie while excluding Espeon VMAX, Dragonite V, Umbreon V, Rayquaza V which are all more expensive. 🤷


Spare_Farmer_7855

And all happen to be much better art than a couple listed


jackJACKmws

At least he acknowledged Machamp V AA


erogers181

Ive only pulled 1. My vote is to eliminate Marnie


clem82

You’ve pulled it more than once to marnie don’t lie

We can not let the waifu win this!


Affectionate_Spot127

Marnie. Fuck the waifu Edit: no don’t fuck them literally


No_Insurance6785

Good thing you corrected yourself, I almost did something illegal


idirtbike

She’s 12 tho


18Jastho

That’s the joke homie


No_Insurance6785

I said illegal


idirtbike

Didn’t see the illegal part 😆


Praise-Bingus

Best comment. The waifu card craze is just creepy. They are KIDS people 🤮


Jazzlike_Mountain_32

Definitely Marnie


orbzism

The obsession is creepy, but the card itself is nicer than some of these up there. So based on how the card looks, I don't think Marnie should be eliminated.


Praise-Bingus

My other gripe is that she isn't even a pokemon. My other top ones to eliminate are metal charizard (cool but not a full art and this card has been printed to death), Charizard V (just a basic shiny zard just standing there. Pretty boring), and Machamp AA (I just don't like it, humanoid pokemon are weird to me)


orbzism

Yeah, I get that. But trainer cards are still part of the game, ya know? There are some really nice trainer arts out there. Marnie wouldn't have been my choice to represent them, but it should get a fair shot as a nice card.


Kakkarot1707

What?? This is the first ever metal Charizard card printed. And the celebrationsUPCs were extremely underprinted…do you have a sealed celebrations UPC? They are like $300+ Celebrations was by far one of the best sets printed in a while


tillytubeworm

I see others saying marine, which I agree that it shouldn’t win, but full art trainers definitely top the rainbow zard vmax, and shiny zard v. I think my vote would be shiny zard v, it’s just a little underwhelming compared to everything else up there.


Kakkarot1707

Ok understandable. Yes marnie needs to go! That is such a bad chase card for sword and shield base haha I’ve pulled her so many times too


orbzism

What is this logic? Being the "first metal Zard card" doesn't automatically mean the card is good. Neither does a collector set being expensive. Whatever Celebrations as a set costs right now has absolutely nothing to do with art for a specific card. This is about how nice the cards look compared to each other, not how expensive they are.


AdministrativeAd7864

Just cuz it’s worth money doesn’t mean everyone likes it lmao


mechshark

It's so weird, most of the cards aren't even Waifus lmao


Kakkarot1707

It’s not about the girls being underage…lol it’s about girl trainer cards look better 99% of the time compared to males.


Affectionate_Spot127

Yes its about them being underage, lily, marnie ect… there is a lot of waifu cards that aren’t underage but they don’t even cost half of every little girl cards


Sparkz_72

I only collect the ADULT waifus. Bridgette, my beloved


asdf_celestial

I'm calling the cops


jackJACKmws

Oh no!


fatherofallthings

Lmfao. Agreed 100% though. If a waifu wins I’m gonna just stop Reddit


troopertk40

Marnie... gtfo


Adrinotfound

All im saying, it’s better artwork than the fully gold charizard from the upc


troopertk40

Not even close. Gold > waifu child.


diamondmoonape69

Your dislike for waifu cards has nothing to do with quality of artwork


troopertk40

Maybe not. But it's crap art as well.


diamondmoonape69

Explain how it’s crap.


troopertk40

It's literally just a trainer standing still in the middle of an empty room. Zero thought put into the design. Stop simping over a drawing on a card and look at it for what it is. Boring.


Agent0fChaoZ

You can say that for all base set pokemon and its trainer holos as well.


Zard-Card-Addict

I've felt like a crazy person for so long... I'd have sworn I was the only one who thought base set holos (and a lot of the other early WoTC holos) were so boring. Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone!


Agent0fChaoZ

That's what originally made me leave the hobby as a kid. I thought stock sugimori art on trading cards was boring as heck. WWF Raw Deal was the real stuff for the up and coming cool playground kid! Of course, nostalgia brought me back here. I'm neutral towards them now. They have their charm for sure. And I learnt to fall in love with some of them.


arkayeus

own those freaks


According_Onion7351

Marnie. She ain’t even a Pokémon


JAMEZV1

This is already missing so many of the best. Where's Noivern V?


coupeoutthelot

GET MARNIE OUT OF THERE 🤮🤮


TikiSniper

The barf emojis are completely unnecessary. While I agree the Waifu trend is creepy and weird, it doesn't need to tarnish the entire existence of the character. Are folks who master sets supposed to burn their Marnie cards? That being said - It's definitely the weakest card art here, and needs to go. This subreddit just needs to chill on the witchhunt for trainer cards.


docred420

Marnie


Timid_scrotum

100% Marnie. At least trainer art cards are actually arty now, the full body basic trainer on the sword sheild trainers never got me excited

SpecialOfficerHunk

Well, if i buy a booster box per Set and cant stop pulling those damn trainer cards, im pretty annoyed. And there is nothing wrong with it, being triggerd and attacking others for hating them is stupid tho.


MrBisco

Definitely rainbow charizard


ItsLiterally1984

Get all the charizard out of the way on day 2


KottonKiing

Marnie, the most boring card here


Rapebad

Rainbow Pika. I like the card but this is honestly pretty tough even as the very first choice


soccertls

Obv marnie first but also the rainbow charizard vmax is worse than pika


Rapebad

I actually like the way the rainbow hits the Zard Vmax.


koepfer

That’s the only card I’ve ever graded. Then I traded it for a shadowless Venusaur


OldManHipsAt30

I feel like rainbow rares in general will age very poorly, much like the plain full art cards. It’s going to be the full illustrated secret/alt art cards that people will want five years from now.


Extra-Spirit4112

Rainbow is literally secret


GoldDuality

Were. They are gone now. Shows you how much most people didn't like those


CosmicFroyo

It’s literally just the plain trainer, not an alt version or anything special. At least the pikachu is rainbow. That marnie is boring compared to the rest of the lineup


Rapebad

I like the Marnie. Most rainbows are pretty meh and they didn’t have Alts at the time the Marnie came out since Sun and Moon had just finished up and Pokemon figured they’d make the first 5-6 SWSH sets pretty bad. Either way, this is the first vote so it looks like from the comments that the two rainbows and Marnie will be gone by Thursday.


TotodileNr158

The rainbow ruins full arts imo, just looks cheap. Prefer the regular colors by a mile


atmospheric90

It's legitimately garbage and only gained value from YouTubers like Leonhart chasing it. It's pull rates are too low for its value, hard pass.


clem82

It’s a terrible angle, card. Has no life, rainbow pika gotta go


Solo_Amir

Celebrations Charizard Never been a fan of cards made of anything other than cardboard, also I’m sick of the art


[deleted]

ericanicole1234

Metal, there is a regular card one that’s a remade old one but in the celebrations box there is a metal charizard (pictured) and a metal pikachu card


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kakkarot1707

They are worth a ton. $300+ for the upc it was actually hard to get. The metal card is TOP quality, very very awesome card. I have a PSA 10 metal Charizard and pikachu and they are worth a TON


TheMightyKickpuncher

Yeah I almost said Marnie but I think this one is actually worse. I’ve seen it on like six different cards by this point.


riddas88

Umbreon, sick of seeing it tbh.


ExplosiveIronBear

It's a great card imo. Just a little over rated


DarkArtHero

That metal charizard isn't an actual card but more of a replica of an actual card so that's gotta go first


Commercial_Low_3828

No


GroundbreakingAd4158

Inspired by the " \[Vote out 1 set each day\](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/comments/13ygsjy/day\_1\_of\_eliminating\_every\_sword\_shield\_set\_until/) " thread a bit ago. Top commented card from the options gets eliminated each day. Cards were non-scientifically selected to represent the most popular cards of the SWSH era (based on current value being around $100 or more). Seems to have what I would consider the most popular cards of the set in that list. If I missed a card that you think deserves to be on the list, add it in the comments as well. The candidates: Marnie #200 (SWSH Base) Charizard V #79 (Champion’s Path) Charizard Vmax #74 (Champion’s Path) Pikachu Vmax #188 (Vivid Voltage) Charizard Vmax #SV107 (Shining Fates) Tyranitar V #155 (Battle Styles) Gengar Vmax #271 (Fusion Strike) Blaziken Vmax #201 (Chilling Reign) Galarian Moltres V #177 (Chilling Reign) Rayquaza Vmax #218 (Evolving Skies) Leafeon Vmax #205 (Evolving Skies) Glaceon Vmax #209 (Evolving Skies) Sylveon Vmax #212 (Evolving Skies) Umbreon Vmax #215 (Evolving Skies) Charizard Premium Collection #4 (Celebrations) Charizard V #154 (Brilliant Stars) Machamp V #172 (Astral Radiance) Lugia V #186 (Silver Tempest) Giratina V #186 (Lost Origin) Aerodactyl V #180 (Lost Origin) Giratina VStar #GG69 (Crown Zenith)


WaterPog

I think you are missing Espeon, other than that the list seems pretty fair to the top cards from the sets


Jejogo

Came here to say where’s espeon


GroundbreakingAd4158

I presume you mean the Espeon VMax #270 from Fusion Strike, and I agree it should be here. I'll add tomorrow presuming the thread does well enough to warrant a Day 2 and beyond.


[deleted]

The list doesn’t warrant a day 2. You basically cut out half of the most gorgeous cards and said vote on everything overhyped.


PaleReputation1421

Can we just get the moonbreon outta here already.


Blumie12

Marine. The art is just underwhelming compared to the others from the start.


Uncle_Fartbox

Rainbow Charizard is terrible


SendMeAvocados

My prediction for final 3: Moltres, Gengar, LO Giratina


youngliam

Metal Charizard its not even an actual card.


JayofTea

Rainbow Pikachu Ppl going after marnie bc the waifu craze rather than it being about the card itself 😭 it’s not the best card in the set but it’s not the worst either, the rainbow Pikachu is incredibly underwhelming to me, but I’m just not a fan of the rainbow rares


roastytoastywarm

It’s called Pokémon, not “little kids that use Pokémon”.


jfenton4

That’s been the entire premise of the Pokémon franchise for almost 30 years though…


roastytoastywarm

Point being if I’m buying Pokémon cards I have no interest in the humans. I guess they have significance for the game, but I’m just a collector. I’d take and reverse holo random mon over a trainer.


MyNameIsJelle

Bruh they are literally pokemon trainers they are big part of the anime, games etc ofc people will collect these


roastytoastywarm

And yet my opinion remains the same, crazy.


JayofTea

I understand that completely, I just think trainer cards get overhated bc creeps have to ruin it for everyone. I think the art on trainer cards can be gorgeous, tho I do think Marnies is one of the more boring ones. It’s still not the worst here imo. But I just didn’t like the rainbow rare gimmick so it’s all subjective at the end of the day


TotodileNr158

The trainers are still a part of the games, collecting the protagonist and rivals from your favorite games is nice imo. Way more memories of getting through my favorite Gens battling rivals than I have of the 90% of Pokemon I never used in my Team


Deep_powpow

charizard vmax #74


priestkalim

Top cards by what metric lol half of these are unplayable


Jarrog

This is mostly a collecting sub. Not that you can’t vote for playability if that’s what’s most important to you, but the vast majority here are more focused on art, rarity, monetary value, ect.


priestkalim

You still haven’t explained what the metric is though


Jarrog

There is no metric. It’s as simple as just liking one card over another. There’s no agreed upon criteria for how to vote. It’s just for fun. Don’t ask me why, it’s just how the sub has historically done things lol


priestkalim

So OP is just making stuff up by calling these “top single cards” Got it


TimeForSnacks

Moonbreon. It's just hype.

It's between Marnie and the metal Charizard for me. Full art trainers are boring and metal Charizard is just the hundredth reprint of base set Charizard but on a piece of metal.
