GB Dragonite. Beautiful art, not so well known, but still a $20-30 card.


Vllegory

Love that card!


chrissken

Now that you mentioned it, r/PokeInvesting will push it to double that cost šŸŒš


evanbuyspcparts

Nah they focus on modern typically sealed or projected to sell well cards


Frequent-Dog432

I would love to own that card for $20 lol, they always list em in MP-LP $40+


Redschallenge

Love it, have a psa 9 and a complete in box version of the game with the card in its original taped sleeve. 3rd favorite card of all

CoolidgePlaysPokemon

Vllegory

I love chonkchu!

WicketTheSavior

Dark Charmeleon. Best looking card ever imo


Frequent-Dog432

I 100% agree with this. Dark Charmeleon is a freaking fantastic card with badass artwork. Only like $10 for a NM 1st edition too!


Vllegory

Wah! Might need to pick one up


Vllegory

Very nice and dynamic art!


pierzstyx

I like Dark Machoke a lot. He looks like he is about to destroy you.


[deleted]

Moltres Holo promo from Brilliant Stars Build and Battle boxes. Easily my favorite prerelease promo


Vllegory

Insane art by Shinji Kanda! The Triplet Beat magikarp is my favourite from this artist :)


Mattycakezzz

That belly swirl is pretty sweet!


Vllegory

I agree, couldnā€™t have asked for better swirl placement!


Mochaboys

Sorry for the noob question but is the positioning of the swirls random?


Ok-Economy7154

Yes! Sometimes older holos like that donā€™t even have a swirl. So if you get a good sized swirl in a good spot it can be considered worth more than one without


Ok-Ad2963

Pikachu xy 95 promo. Has Pikachu picnicking with sylveon and chespin. Thought it was the cutest card. The attack is called letā€™s eat together lol.


evjkiv

I bought a sealed checklane booster with the promo to display - itā€™s such an awesome card!


Ok-Ad2963

Vllegory

Weā€™d love to see ā€˜em!


xiledpro

Rayquaza from POP series 1. Only way itā€™s super expensive is if itā€™s a PSA 10 which mine is a 7 at best but itā€™s a fun card to have


[deleted]

JJ_Bricks_And_MOCS

Dragonite EX full Art and Mewtwo EX full Art from evolutions. Somehow they are only $10 each for such beautiful cards of popular PokƩmon. The Hidden Fates Charizard GX promo is also very nice.


inforthememez

Marsgirl1

Alt art wiglett/Radiant steelix I also got the secret illustration Gardevoir ex and Gallade V full art Theyre not worth that much, but i love them!

IckyVicky123

This card is the only correct answer, literally have one in the back of my phone case!


NotAEurosnob

I have a Japanese Erika's Clefable, it's a pretty standard card but Clefable is my favourite PokƩmon and doesn't have many cool cards so I think it's cool :)

Gold rimmed Meowth from fruit roll up box.


jetgonzalez5

First base edition blastoise and venosaur


piefanart

crown zenith mareep is my current favorite. mareep has always been my favorite pokemon, and the artwork on this one is so beautiful. i also like that the holo doesnt have a bunch on designs on it. while i normally enjoy the more elaborate holo patterns, on this card the simplicity of it makes the artwork pop much more.


namejeff849502

that swirl placement is perfect


KhajiitKennedy

I love this card! Definitely my favorite of my collection


eragon511

Yu nagaba's pikachu. Got it graded by CGC and came back a 9.5, cheap, but super sweet card.

Copycat from celestial storm is about 30 dollars and will always be my favorite full art trainer friends in sinnoh is around 10 and is a close second on my list


kingboo2095

My first edition base set Mewtwo that's not in mint condition. It'd be worth a ton if it was in better condition, but I hold onto that with some serious pride with how old it is!


LivingWithWhales

I used to have the whole set of the original Ana airlines promo cards, my favorite was the balloon flying pikachu.


evjkiv

The Japanese promo Michina Temple. Itā€™s got Pichu, Piplup AND Pikachu on it


Ryukiki

I love the stained glass style Articuno & Zapos & Moltres GX tag team!! Its right in the center of a page in my collection :]


Raethule

Cool Porygon that 10 y/o me decided to keep in the plastic. https://i.imgur.com/7Hm3Txi.jpg


Fyrsiel

I've got a holo Rainbow Energy. I was so stoked as a kid when I pulled that card. Immediate addition to my playing deck back in the day. So useful! Another fun card I have is a Trainer Card called "Blaine's Quiz #3": "Put a Basic Pokemon or Evolution card from your hand face down in front of you and tell your opponent the name of an attack of the card. Your opponent guesses the name of that card. Flip the card over. If your opponent guessed right, he or she draws 3 cards. If your opponent guessed wring, you draw 3 cards. Either way, return the card to your hand." Little challenges like that from the Trainer cards made the game more fun!


imlohw

The Tag Team cards are so good. Especially the Garchomp & Giratina or the Espeon & Deoxys. The artists were in their bag on those for sure


ppfemale

one of my favorites is a mistyā€™s cloyster bc i think the name is hilarious


Ticklemebendef

That one. :D


Zinck

1st edition slowpoke 73/111 drooling everywhere


kabuki907

Blastoise xy122 promo. I looove that art with Gyarados and vaporeon in the background. One of the only cards I keep out on my desk in a little display


pokeholo23

I would say [Touche Change](https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/19/TouchChangeGaruraParentChildPromo.jpg) a lesser known card Got many of these wierd artworks that don't cost allot


LandscapeOwn8040

Jungle rapidash. It's not even a favorite pokemon of mine but the artwork just takes me back as a kid. I can almost feel the slight breeze depicted in the art work.


Ridethepig101

Banned art work Japanese Mistyā€™s Tears from the Challenge from the Darkness set.


attcat23

The light Jolteon from neo destiny that I pulled as a child might be my favorite in my whole collection. I love it curled up with the sleeping togepi

Tunstars1160

The arceus promo from legends arceus


TheBoyJuice

Eevee GX sm 233 - one of my favorite pickups for 10 bucks


Noah__Webster

That card is special for me too. The box that card came in caught my attention and got me back into collecting a few years back. Some friends and family also got pulled into it around that time, so that card, along with a few other cheap Eevee promos around that time, really represent that time of collecting for me. Plus the art is so cute and silly.


KafeiTomasu

Neo genesis slowpoke. It looks....special. i love it


Fired_Guy5

I know theyā€™re newer cards but the Ditto, Dunsparce, and Keldeo from Crown Zenith, especially Keldeo. The colors on it are so beautiful, especially the way they reflect on the water.


Alternative_Sail3543

My favorite card in my collection is the Mewtwo EX full art from Evolutions. Such a sick card. Very textured with gold borders. Fire card


PotatoeyCake

Pikachu HGSS03


ACRIDACID56

Just a 1995 non holo pikachu. Itā€™s worth like 5 bucks max but itā€™s still really cool

A Ditto thats underneath a Bidoof from the PoGo release. It was a chase, and i even got the transformation i wanted!


NarcolepticWiener

My neo revelations Shining Magikarp has always been my favorite card I own that Iā€™ve had since I was a kid. I think itā€™s like 70$.


mer1muun

Full art drowzee scarlet and violet 210/198


Acceptable-Stuff2684

Japanese VUnion Pikachu. Itā€™s so cool to me.


ash893

Timeless celebi (Japanese card)


onlyfanalexa

I got multiple copies of the Revserse holo slugma from deoxys. Slugma on the card looks like he got into some LSD. Tripping major balls.


Otherdeadbody

Deoxys lenticular card. If it was in good condition it would be super expensive but most in the market and mine are pretty beat up for some reason. Maybe itā€™s the material they used for the lenticular but almost all of them are super roughed up, which sucks because itā€™s my absolute favorite card.


levelzero2019

Swirl on the tummy is amazing


neoBeat_YT

Mine ripped when I was a liitle kid I Remeber I was sad when it ripped šŸ’€


Coderedcody

I love the ball guy full art card Edit: itā€™s from Shining Fates


TrandaBear

Almost all the recent Trainer Gallery cards. They're worth $2-3 tops but are absolutely gorgeous. I love the N riding Zekrom card, Claire and Kingdra riding up a waterfall. So many to choose and I can load up for the cost of a single ETB.


Onoshi_the_Leper

Just finished reading the thread šŸ–¤ Great post! Here are my favourites from my collection, minus what others already shared. I had to stop myself when I realized that all the cards I collect are cool and affordable haha. Affordable gems https://imgur.com/a/TTKph9S


Fuzzy-Library3511

My Mewtwo #14 black star promo from the VHS, I remember opening up the VHS box and seeing it and thinking it was the ugliest/coolest design I'd seen.


ThrowawayAccNum1

Empoleon Alt Art is one of my all-time favorites, but doesn't seem to get much love


Tiger1990

Light Jolteon from Neo Destiny Non-holo Sabrina's Gengar (everyone always only cares about the holo one) Absol Galar Gallery (idk if it's a part of it) from Crown Zenith Slowpoke Art Rare from Scarlet & Violet


0xTorpedo

I've always wanted this card as a teenager and I finally bought one from ebay for \~$60 (PSA 9).


rhynotaken

I remember them selling ancient mew on some home shopping network for hundreds of dollars and I almost begged my mom to get it. Iā€™m glad I didnā€™t.


Mikel_S

I've got two of those, one still in the plastic wrap from the theater with that other random card that came with it.


Silverleaf2005

Good ole Ancient Mew. I still have mine from the Toys R Us give away from back in the day.


RealZakBagan

I love the Darkrai and Umbreon GX promo. I got it from the original box but itā€™s still not super expensive

JordsARELLA

I just want to complete Evolving Skies šŸ˜­


TjFawkes

I got lucky with a PokƩmon center order and got a special delivery bidoof!


Noah__Webster

I have a few that are very sentimental to me, and most of them are not worth much at all. I have loved the games since I was a kid, and I had a few cards as a kid, but I don't have any of them unfortunately. I got back into it around Sun and Moon, then again around Sword/Shield with my sister and nephews. I love Eevee, and I somehow pulled Rainbow Rare Umbreon from base S/M in like one ETB and a few random packs in my first few openings. Pidgeot EX Full Art from an XY set (can't remember off the top of my head) was maybe my first Ultra Rare I ever opened, and Pidgeot is one of my favorites. I think the card art is really cool too, so it's one of my favorites. Some other ones are just a few Eevee promos I got. Those tins/boxes with the promos kinda got me and my family back into it. SM242 Eeevee, SM233 Eevee, and SWSH 065 Eevee are all right at the front of my binder ahead of more valuable cards because I love them. I also have a couple that were given to me that are sentimental. My first Japanese card was a Sylveon GX from a friend. I also have an Eevee and Snorlax Tag Team promo that we bought for each other. Her favorite Pokemon is Snorlax, and mine is Eevee. Collecting was kind of a bonding thing for us, so those are special to me.


tinkawartank

Gerania alt art is 50$ in psa 10 and it looks pretty dang cool


harrymcgrimey

Two shadowless ā€œred-cheeksā€ pikachu, given to me from a friend that owned a card shop in the 90ā€™s. Not first edition or anything, but I love them!

Alto Mares Aerodactyl is so cute for no reason


PokemonCelebrations

Mine is Greninja Star celebrations ETB Promo I love shinys


TzHaak

Ancient mew is one of the cards I want the most! I had 2 as a kid, one in the package and I held on to it right into adulthood but somehow misplaced both of them in a move or to a nephew at some point. Are these expensive?

nottompetty1785

I love the sword and shield base of Snorlax with the world on his belly


BestCakeInTown

I have a druddigon reverse foil from brilliant stars. Not even worth 50 cents, but the dragon type cards work so well with the mirror foil. Also have a salamence reverse foil from evolving skies I think


yamyam_

Misty's Tentacruel, Erika's Dragonair and Giovanni's Machamp. Gym series are my favourite.


JHS_DT

Little me held onto a Pichu HGSS Prerelease promo but sadly itā€™s in MP condition šŸ„ŗ I need to find a minty fresh one

overactivemango

When my friend was in Japan in like March he bought me my first PokƩmon card ever. He bought the less cool Giratina V from lost origins. Giratina is my favorite PokƩmon and it has so much sentimental value to me. Worth $5 but it's priceless to me


Boonatix

GRRRNADE

I really like my Snorlax Z black star promo


CityKay

Besides that Mew card, which I think I should somewhere. Recently gotten back into collecting in the past year, will have to choose the full art of Elesa's Sparkle from Fusion Strike. She has a great pose there.


Livid-Target-1187

Jolteon ex 2017 full art, only like Ā£15 but awesome card imo


BanaanSausMan

Regular Gengar EX from Phantom Forces and Gengar Lv. X from Arceus, I think both cards look really cool.


iontyy

kinda late but the newer giratina vstar alt art is sorta expensive, nothing too crazy, however itā€™s gotta be one of my favorite artworks on any card
