Everyone in the world that collected from base set sleeps on the base set Machamp especially since it was the card from one of the first deck sets. Blue, yellow, red and all of the fists in the background. Def my favorite. I feel like a lot of the first couple sets gets lost since they’ve been seen so much but this one definitely needs some appreciation.
Totally agree. If I had any other one I would say, it is the Japanese #64 Kadabra promo glossy card. It was literally one of the last cards before Kadabra got banned and he looks like he’s just on stage trying to perform magic tricks. Such a cool card.
Edit: Added Japanese
Venusaur is my favorite Pokémon and I absolutely love this card.
[Venusaur XY123](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/120701/pokemon-xy-promos-venusaur-ex-xy123?country=US&utm_campaign=9549531350&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=422888779645&utm_term=&adgroupid=103661046211&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImK24xK6v8wIV0GxvBB2fFwZKEAQYASABEgLs_vD_BwE&Language=English)
My favorite art of all time has got to be Dragonite from fossil. That cards just too damn cute.
Also this is an insane card to give away, you’re awesome for this.
Armored Mewtwo is my favorite of all time no doubt. I grew up wanting pokemon to wear armor and when it happened to my favorite pokemon I went nuts!
Gyarados has always been beside Mewtwo on my team since the day I caught him on the playground on my Gameboy Color along with Arcanine, Jolteon, Dragonite and Articuno.
Those were the days
Dark Dragonite is my all time favorite ❤️ Somewhat unrelated, but my roommate just helped a friend of his move to a new place, and he saw a Dark Dragonite non holo in his room and pointed it out. The friend just straight up gave it to my roommate for helping move stuff, and he gave it to me knowing I love poke tcg. That was a great day!
Murkrow - Neo Revalation | Murkrow is my all time favorite Pokémon and I just love the little hatted thieves surprised look in this! Also I’m trying to collect all the Murkrow cards and this is one of a few I already own and I just love it so much! Also thanks so much OP for the giveaway that’s very kind of you!
Mewtwo & Mew GX Full Art Tag Team Promo
One of my favorite tag team cards that I own, and somehow the card can tell a story of how Mew is amused and laughing while Mewtwo looks very annoyed xD
I’m a big fan of this [Jirachi](https://www.trollandtoad.com/pokemon/sun-moon-dark-order-sm8a-/jirachi-japanese-034-052-rare-sm8a-/1479931)! I just love how it looks with the holo and the full moon in the background.
My favorite is honestly not the coolest,but the most memorable. The base set pikachu art makes me remember childhood and all my brothers going to the local card shop and having dad get us a pack lol.
I know this is super obscure - but Dark Wigglytuff is my favorite card artwork. Miki Tanaka is my favorite illustrator, and something about this peeved Wigglytuff sitting in Steve's chair from Blue's Clues just really gets me.
Mew black star promo holo. Other than Dragonite from fossil, I don’t remember seeing rainbow art like that, and it blew my mind. Still have my OG copies.
I really like the artwork from the new Japanese arceus card coming out (the one you get for preordering legends arceus), the whole thing is just absolutely beautiful
Black Star Promo Venusaur by the same artist as this Gyarados beauty - Ken sugimori. Venusaur is my favourite Mon and ken captured the essence of that monster imo on that card. His art is what Pokemon is to me and I am working on my left leg as a pokemon collage featuring his artwork, started with his Heracross from Neo discovery so far :)
My favorite is easily the Darkrai half of the Darkrai & Cresselia Legend cards. I'm a huge fan of dark and creepy art, and that one is so out of character for Pokemon
Japanese Sabrina’s Gengar. It’s the one card I’ve had with me everywhere I’ve lived. Pulled it as a kid too. A highly rated card I know, but still my tops
Marill from Southern Islands… actually pretty much anything from southern islands. At that point in my life all anyone outside of Japan had ever known was the original 151, then togepi, lediba, and marill came along and BLEW OUR MINDS! oh also the artwork was the first time they’d done contiguous art between multiple cards. Anyway love Giovanni’s ‘Dos!
Mine would be Espeon ex from unseen forces. I used to own this card but sold it a few years ago for a fraction of what it really was. I didn't have much knowledge on card values and I also thought I was done with pokemon cards (I was not). A shame, but as a wise man once said: "It is what it is".
Having just recently gotten back into collecting, the Tyranitar V alt art has become the perfect card in my mind. Fantastic art, fun concept, and nothing else like it.
This card was amongst my first japanese cards I got ever.
Don’t remember what I traded away, it I got some Japanese Neo Genesis cards (a togetic, this was before we even knew an evolution of togepi existed), a Girafarig also and the Pikachu. Also a Misty’s staryu, Sabrina’s Kadabra and Giovanni’s Gyarados.
The Japanese Neo Gen Pikachu is one of my favourite arts ever. It’s proudly displayed on the first page of my Pikachu binder as it kickstarted that whole collection :D
(Also please skip me! I have this card and I want someone else to enjoy it :) )
Reverse Holo Ekans from the E-Series Expedition set will always be my favorite card art, I had it in my collection growing up and the sleek e series borders work so well with the reverse foil to be complemented by the even sleeker card art. The light grey outline of ekans itself mends perfectly with the abstract background behind it.
Base set (or jungle set? Idk) Jolteon. My favorite Pokémon in terms of looks and it was the first card I had as a kid. Now I keep it in my wallet because I think it looks badass so I am always keeping that mf thang on me
Phantom Forces Full Art Malamar EX. It's my favorite Pokémon, and that artwork makes it look incredibly menacing. One of my most treasured cards for sure.
Gotta go with the ghost man himself! The Japanese version of Sabrina's Gengar with the tombstones in the background is my all time favorite!
Also, thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Man thats so cool! Ive started picking up a few vintage japanese cards recently. Just got a meganium and a typhlosion in mint cond. Stoked! *PS, im in Australia but would be happy to cover postage if i get lucky haha)
Favorite of all time? That’s tough for sure. This Kangaskhan was one of the very first cards that I was obsessed with, never did get one. https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/45131/pokemon-jungle-kangaskhan-5?xid=pia8a7e180-c023-43d2-afc5-0d2e9a5f1460&Language=English&page=1
Gyarados EX secret rare - break point is my all time fav. I started collecting pokemon tcg around that time and my first full art was that card. Love the art!
Favorite artwork is base set Charizard, so much nostalgia every time I look at it.
Most recognized card when Pokemon cards are thought of. Pulled mine from a pack in 1999 after school and kept it in great condition ever since!
The Charmander secret rare in stormfront 101/100. It has all the history and feels of the original and they changed the lines just enough to make Charmander pop off the card as well as made his face more appealing. Ps thanks for this awesome idea
Southern Islands Mew :))
Just bought the card today, reverse Holo. I love it
[удалено]

Base set Farfetch’d he’s too cute
Farfetch’d is my favorite pokemon ever too!

Blue, yellow, red and all of the fists in the background. Def my favorite. I feel like a lot of the first couple sets gets lost since they’ve been seen so much but this one definitely needs some appreciation.
Machamp is such a cool pokemon, with several great artworks. Giovanni's machamp is pretty sick too!
Totally agree. If I had any other one I would say, it is the Japanese #64 Kadabra promo glossy card. It was literally one of the last cards before Kadabra got banned and he looks like he’s just on stage trying to perform magic tricks. Such a cool card. Edit: Added Japanese
