Best Card Art At a Reasonable Price?

[StriatonIsMagic]

Hey guys! I just want to know what cards you think have the best artwork, and are at a reasonable price ($5 or lower preferably). So I can buy them. XD

All of the Eeveelutions from the BW promo box featuring Sylveon maybe?
They total out to more than $5 obviously. And Umbreon is over $5 by itself.

If you want full arts, there's the Cobalion/ Virizion/ Terrakion FA all around $4.

If you want EX, there are quite a few that recently rotated out that are at their all time low at about $3.80 - those are a safe bet

Thanks. Ironically, I was looking at those same cards a few months ago. Can you give me an example of some of the rotated EXs?

I love the Reshiram full art from Radiant Collection. It generally sells for <$2.50, so it's a great buy.
P.S. It also has use in decks, if you are interested in that.

I literally ordered that in April because I love the art. Speaking of decks, I might be getting into the competitive TCG (but not going to tournaments, just playing with friends), so thanks for the suggestion.

Malamar-EX is a favourite of mine (art wise)
Manectric-EX if you're into that
Basically the less playable/ niche EXs from the recently rotated out Flashfire, Furious Fists, Phantom Forces and X&Y Base set
There's also a lot of nice ones in the Black&White sets.

Is a beatiful Lucari

My advice would just be to look through image galleries of various sets somewhere and see what you like personally. Nobody can tell you what art you consider "good".

I'll go ahead and point out that I like a lot of the art in EX Crystal Guardians and Call of Legends personally, but that in itself doesn't necessarily mean much to you.

if you want a bang for your buck than try buying the mythical collection boxes
there around 17.84-24.98(mew ex)
i have opened several and the generations packs are amazing they give you a double chance for an ex or full art
i bought a celibi and pulled 4 ex-fullarts in two packages and the promo. these boxes are worth the cash

A lot of old exs have great artwork and are less than $5. Take for example this Sneasel ex:

Every one of those things that I've bought had trash cards. I might pick up a Keldeo box soon, but it might be a while before I buy more Generations.

Thanks. I have a few CoL cards myself that friends have given me, and I love the art dearly.

A lot of the ex series (generation 3 onwards) have amazing EX arts with the majority of them being less than 6 dollars each.

A few arts from the era that I really like:

Ex Delta Species and Ex Unseen Forces also have amazing looking holo rare cards, like this for instance:

I love the Latios. But a lightly played/near mint one is like 11 bucks. I also like the Umbreon and the Shiftry.
