I've been collecting cosmos holos of SV cards for a while now- It's such a jump in how nice promos are what with the holo borders, so the more the merrier for these!

Glossy front, the back part was black, and they were better-fitted to the cards.

Do we know if the sleeves in the Stellar Crown ETB are similar to the Shrouded Fable ones? They were the best ETB sleeves we've had since like... 2015. Not like they're the pinnacle of quality, but they actually fit inside of binder pages which is refreshing.

It's not out of the realm of possibility. UPCs have always included some of the highest-rarity cards in the TCG. Think the Full Art Mewtwo-EX & Mew-EX from Generations, the Rainbow Rares in the Sun and Moon ones, or the three alts in the Charizard box. Hell, what about the recent Greninja and...

Grumble grumble! Popular Pokémon gets merchandise! How dare company market marketable character! Grumble grumble! Jokes aside, I’m happy to see any merchandise in the west that isn’t just stock Sugimori art over a background- Even if this is pretty generic art, it’s done pretty tastefully. The...

Yknow, I’m not going to fully defend PTCGO, it had its flaws, but I mean… The fact that PTCGL was worse in just about every conceivable measure while taking away features from a 13 year old TCG client really makes this unsurprising. I don’t know who out there thought that PTCGL’s visual… Style...

Not at all, Megas are my favorite cards in the TCG and considering the text on the card artwork is entirely a stylistic choice, with no bearing on card function, I’m not bothered by it. If anything, it’s a neat localization quirk that at least makes the two different and gives reason to collect...

I’m not going to say much on this, other than that I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt here that if there ever was a translation error that affected things THAT much it would be either errata’d or forced to be made consistent in translation. I feel like you’re making a mountain out of a...

I'm currently in the process of exiting this hobby and selling my collection, but it's really nice to see the jump in how nice cards are this coming generation. Galaxy foil borders are so nice to see back. While I'm sitting it out from now on, it's at least nice knowing a lot of things I wanted...

It's been a whole one set out of a most-likely three year generation. There's plenty of time for all kinds of different Pokemon to get ex's, and with how good they've done recently with diversifying both popular and strange picks for Ultra Rares (See stuff like Lumineon V), I'm not too worried.

>Rainbows are likely dead The world is healing.

I mean, you can't really expect standard Ultra Rares to be on par with a celebratory end-of-era set. I'm sure the SV era will have alts and plenty with fantastic art as time goes on. It's still too early to pass judgement in that regard- The only real comparison we can give with these specific...

I will say I'm actually quite glad Ultra Rares have gone back to a more enclosed, card-body format. I was never a fan of GX's and V's which look just like... Much more bland Full Arts. GX's barely even look like a Pokemon card, frankly- These do. Them looking like EXs personally makes me happy...

Initially excited for the game following the leak cycle throughout the whole year, I actually ordered the double pack as I was excited to shiny hunt Paradox Pokemon and the like. However, I had to file for a refund as the game's technical issues went anywhere from distracting to...

I completely agree with this excitement- The fact that the new ex cards are a successor to the originals while also looking like EX cards (my favorite kind of Ultra Rare)... I couldn't be more excited. I'm going to actively keep up on this one with the new sets and everything. I haven't done...

"ThEy NEvEr GiVe UnPoPuLaR PoKeMoN ULTrA rArEs" *Sees a Skuntank Alt Art* *Chooses to ignore that*

Mmm, yeah, gonna disagree there with that one. This doesn't have the recognizability or meta potential to be anything more than a $5 card after a few weeks when it comes out in Silver Tempest. Probably less, even! Here, let's get some examples: Look at Roseanne's Research. $3. The Cynthia in...

Interested to see how the game will turn out based on this feedback, but I can't deny that the acknowledgement of these things is a step in the right direction. Hoping for the best! It still kind of stings not being able to play the Legacy Format once this takes over PTCGO, however. That was...

Maybe it's like the Inteleon and Gengar decks where they'll have a "Secret Rare" version of it that includes shiny prints, like those decks had the Alt Arts? That would be my theory but I could be completely wrong here. JP products almost never release in the US. Unless you mean the cards, in...
