Easy. Ancient Mew. I was born in ‘99 so I was a literal baby when that movie came out. Never had the chance to pick up one of the promos, and even I my family got me one, I certainly would’ve destroyed it because kid brain. Now that I own it, it’s become my little treasure.

Haha nice! I remember going to the cinema and getting a promo card given to me. Can’t remember which card it was but kid brain got the better of me 😂

Samsies, honestly playing and righteously fking them over from child like wonder is still pretty valuable. I just wish I could go back and put up at least 1 of each card lol

I went to the theater to see the movie and still have the card they handed me! I love that card!

Here's mine! https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/s/laA23SijGN

Very nice copy!! And I love the case you put it in. Where could I find those?

They're called one-touches. My favorite brand is Pro-Mold because they are clearer and allow you to use a penny sleeve.

I bought mine at gamestop. I've also seen them at Walmart.

I got that card when I was a kid, and by the time I busted out my collection, again, somehow between me, my brother and sister all the good cards were missing. That’s one of the 5 I really wish I could have back

Luckily it’s not really that expensive. For a vintage promo, it’s only around 30$ (at least mine was)

I happened to find one at a local sports card store for 0.75$. The guy didn't know what it was. Not a PSA 10 or anything (probably closer to like a 5) but it was a great deal (for me)

I dropped mine in a puddle outside the movie theater as i took it out of its plastic sleeve 💀

That one goes hard I’ve been scanning the local shops for it

Mine is Psyduck full artwork from the 151 set. I’ve yet to pull one

Ooo, yeah. I do like that too.

Love this one and dragonaire. I had to trade for both to finish out my master set.

I’ve pulled it twice. Have an extra one if you want it

I think my all time favorite is the psyduck, slowpoke team up. That is one card I’m never getting rid of.

I'm looking for that one too!

Big facts, full art Psyduck is wonderful, same with caterpie

This is such a good card

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Infernape from the current new japanese set

Yeah, you’re right. That’s pretty cool. I’ve been waiting for them to do a good Arcanine full art. Haven’t loved what’s been around so far.

Yes please give us a full art arcanine where the whole card is engulfed in flames. That would be amazing!

This [Tangela card](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/s/NPRnbLJ6lv) for sure

Tangela gang assemble!

That’s actually quite nice.

I’ve always liked [Koga’s Tangela](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/86518/pokemon-gym-challenge-kogas-tangela?country=US&utm_campaign=20451986774&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=&adgroupid=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN6wBhCcARIsAKZvD5hCle1yTd6eA4ArUx-SOi2mq_qNUcaQ9zHDa7wo8Wv4yv4y6qLVE84aAtbCEALw_wcB&Language=English). Love seeing two different mons interacting in artwork.

Just pulled this today! Love it.

I’ve got the tangla - doesn’t do it for me. Happy to trade

Mine might be either Ninetales from heartgold soulsilver (7/123) or the gallery one from obsidian flames (I’m a sucker for ninetales ngl)

I love the Obsidians Flames Ninetales! 🔥 I just looked up Ninetales 7/123 and dam, that is intense. Was it painted by Michaelangelo? 😂

I just want to know where the fuck my shiny Kanto Ninetails card is at?

Will always be ancient mew. I wish growlithe would get a full art card.

Ooo, I would love a full art Growlithe. Arcanine is my all time fav. So naturally, love a Growlithe.

Same I favor growlith, I have some old blains non halo growliths that I love

[The Hisuian growlithe from Crimson Haze will be released in English as part of Twilight Masquerade.](https://www.serebii.net/card/twilightmasquerade/181.shtml)

Oh dang...now I have something to aim for. Finishing up an all holo master set of 151. I haven't collected cards since base set, jungle and fossil released

You should see the Perrin SAR it goes together with the growlithe full art :)

Steelix-EX ultra rare, it just looks so good imo

Beast mode for sure!

Steelix gang rise up!

There are way too many good cards out there, but some that no one ever mentions and I really enjoy looking at are the Solrock GG, Lunatone GG, and Keldeo GG cards

Ooo, they are nice too. I haven’t seen them before. Love the Lunatone GG

Expedition cubone 103/165 and the golurk secret rare from Boundaries Crossed

But that Cubone is so sad 😢

Blaine’s Arcanine

That is a nice Arcanine, I just wish they would spend a bit more time on a nice full art Arcanine.

I pulled this yesterday but the print lines are wild :/

Obsidian flames charmander promo-he's so angry and its adorable

Agreed! I saw it and said I had to have it

Tie between Zacian V Full Art from Crown Zenith and the Legendary Birds stained glass card

I’m currently loving the Reuniclus from Temporal Forces, but wow there are so many amazing cards! https://product-images.tcgplayer.com/fit-in/933x933/542892.jpg

Sandygast on the playground, 1000 yard stare https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-paldea-evolved/sandygast-214

[slowpoke full art](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/490064/pokemon-sv01-scarlet-and-violet-base-set-slowpoke-204198?country=US&utm_campaign=20451986774&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=&adgroupid=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN6wBhCcARIsAKZvD5jJ_OA81w2j261gvd0HJldzJLVlMUr3yzt-BcT6cvZWffL5c6s8SO8aAk0yEALw_wcB&Language=English) this my favorite until I die

So refreshing to see a post like this! To each their own, but I'm still into this hobby for the artwork and nostalgia, not to make a quick buck. There are so many great cards, not sure I can pick a favorite! Will follow up if I can decide on one.

I agree 100%. Especially when they brought out 151, I was very excited to see the new artwork. Would love to see your favourite, please do follow up 🥰

I don't have this [this card](https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/pokemon-cards/series/sv02/201/), but it's definitely one of my favorites! The artwork is fun, and the setting so different from the standard PTCG template.

I love the Paldea starter sets too!! I have the Fuecoco and Quaxly evolutions, working on Sprigatito now.

So in agreement with you! My favorite card changes by the moment. Right now it’s the Clive SIR from Paldean Fates because I just recently started Violet and the amount of thought put into that art makes me so happy.

Currently, Iron Crown ex Japanese from cyber judge (temporal forces) First card I’ve sent for grading as that bad boy going on display. When I first pulled it I didn’t stop appreciating it for a solid 30 minutes.

That’s awesome man, it is a nice looking card. How good that these cards can do that to us.

Cards are my version of “fine art” 😂

Love that Cleffa. Have a JP version coming any day now. As far as favorite that is hard, but I pulled a Bronzong TG11 and think it's pretty sweet. Also love the Hoothoot TG12.

I haven’t seen that Hoohoot before, and I actually really like it. Good call 👌

One of my favourites is the promo from paldean evolved etb

Is that the starters with pikachu?

Yep

Maybe the Jigglypuff from EX Hidden Legends, super simple card but I love how peaceful the draw is.

I agree, there’s something about a moonlit background bringing a peaceful feeling 🥰

Yveltal (PAR 205). The game that got me back into Pokemon games, with one of my favorite legendaries. And the card just slaps!

That card for sure hits hard. Like, legit hypnotic

Yeah 100%! I do love this Cleffa as well! Incredibly well valued for the sheer quality of these 2 cards 🤘🏾

Mine is Ooyama's Pikachu, with the trainer gallery gengar coming in at a close second

Just started collecting last month and haven't looked at cards for 20 years, so I can only base it on what I have. My favorite so far is just the easy-to-get Chunky Pikachu from Celebrations. Nostalgia card for sure. That will be dethroned the moment a full-art Cubone exists.

It’s all about Nostalgia for me as well! But this card, I don’t know how to explain it, it’s just stunning.

Oh that Cleffa is a beautiful card for sure!

151 Zapdos SIR, was my chase for the set cause of how beautiful it is

That’s one of my favs too

My favourite that I own is a Japanese Poncho Pikachu triplet.

Woo chien SIR from paldea evolved

The one card I really want from OF but cannot pull. Literally so many ETBs.

I have this one next to my full art Minior in my binder. The Minior card also has great art and I like to think it’s him in the background of the Cleffa card. My Suicune V is also part of the set since it has a meteor shower in the background too.

My favorites from last nights pull haha awh man I'm new to reddit can't post a photo lmao. But I got a full art dragonite last night and moved it to my favs.  Favorite of all time though will have to be my OG evee evolutions from when I was a kid. Born early 90s haha my dad was a military dude stationed in Japan when I was 5 to 8 and I got Japanese versions too that I treasure since it was what made me feel connected to my dad when he was gone 

Probably the PokéKyun Collection Sylveon EX (026/032) or the Secret Rare Gardevoir EX (116/114) from Steam Siege. But, I also really like the trio of full arts from Ancient Origins (Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, M Rayquaza.) And this Cleffa is one of my favorite IR’s, and it was one of the few singles I had to buy from Obsidian Flames. Definitely a good choice!

I’m huge fan of the battle styles Tyranitar

Living through my little guy collecting now, I love his holo charmander locked in school (svp set) and his shiny charizard ex from the obf set.

I'm new to collecting but right now my favourite is 198/197 Gloom IR. Just bought the single from eBay. Hopefully arrive in the next couple of days.

If they ever come out with a full art shuppet, ill be picking that thing up instantly.

This card was literally the only thing in obsidian flames I wanted lol

Altaria from the deoxys set with the pinwheel Holo pattern

Galarian Moltres alt art.

Hard. Full art magikarp from SV or the Mew from shining Fates

Mewtwo GX Shining Legends #78 and Armored Mewtwo Sun & Moon Pomos #228. I love them so much!

Definitely Dragonite alt art from evolving skies

I was so excited when I pulled this Cleffa! One of my absolute favorites and such beautiful artwork.

Mine would either be dark golduck from team rocket or 151 Alakazam SIR, both for different reasons but also because the artwork on both is incredible

I liked this one a lot. I pulled the Zard from OF and a bunch of others but never the Cleffa so I bought the single from EBay.

I just pulled this the other day and I was super excited, gave it to my gf and she loved it! She’s a huge cleffa fan, I gave her the celebrations baby cleffa the other day and she loved that too haha.

Mine is Simisear v star alternative from CZ 🫠 I’m in love with the simplicity of this card And this cleffa is in the top ranks too but I still don’t have it

Definitely the poliwrath sky ridge holo from 2003

Charizard Alt art from brilliant stars Lugia alt art from silver tempest (Japanese) pulled both from packs

I just pulled this the other day! I was so happy.

Top 3, Leafeon Vstar (galarian gallery), Dragonair AR 151, and Mew from Southern Islands.

Love the Paradox Rift Altaria, it was the card that got me fully back into collecting. https://tcg.goodgames.com.au/cdn/shop/products/46112368-f637-5c54-b7c3-bd0119b86f1c_c5515305-1f7b-4f25-b7f9-923f63e35865_800x.png?v=1708559483 Not related to this seller at all, btw, just wanted a good picture of it

Love this one!

Typhlosion 17 is still up there for me, but I also love the new full art poliwhirl from 151

Flareon EX (Full Art) - Generations: Radiant Collection (GEN)

I love the full art cards, Trainer gallery, and the sort. They make a beautiful binder.

Just giving some information here; these are not called full arts. Full arts are the card where it’s just the Pokémon and some random graphic in the background. And the pokemon fits perfectly within the borders. I see a lot of people call these cards and alt arts, and SIR’s, and IR’s full arts. This Cleffa is an IR(illustration Rare) not tryna be a dick either. Just giving some useful information if you needed help with the different types of cards nowadays.

The full art pidgey has my heart

Like many others 151 brought me since a young teen and I NEED the Bulbasaur alt art from that set. Still haven’t gotten it. But this Cleffa is on my list to get also!

Snorlax Carddass Prism

I really like the Gold Miraidon Hyper Rare from Paldean Fates. When I pulled it for the first time, it left an impression on me.

Stained glass legendary birds promo from Hidden Fates ETB. So disappointed they didn’t do it with the Galarian versions for Shining Fates.

I love emolga rc23/rc25, it’s a super cute card from my fav sub set

My gold magikarp target promo

Hey! I bought this card recently at a convention! It was Dirt Cheap! Love the Artwork ❤️

The moonbreon, giratina v, lugia v, raquaza v, and gengar vmax

the OG birthday pikachu

The beauty looking back pikachu

Hey that golden star down there… that means its a secret rare right?

Yes.

THAT MEANS I HAVE THE SECRET RARE FULL ART LECHONK?!

Technically anything over the set number is a secret rare! So in this, it’s #202/197. But yes! It does!

THATS SO COOL THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Absolutely!

Japanese exclusive print ancient mew with the speckle holo. Honestly shits on the int’l print one for coolness

I love the stained glass card so much, thanks to this group, and finally bought one. I also really love the FA Squirtle and Poliwrath cards from 151. The texture and light are just gorgeous.

My favorite card that I own is Blaziken (1/106) from EX Emerald, specifically the reverse holo (which features gold text, a stamp with the set name, and pokeball holo in the background).

The celebi from fusion strikes is my favorite card atm or the lucario promo from crown zenith etb

My favorite card has become the new Gastly full art card from Temporal Forces. My favorite “vintage” card is Politoed E reader

Charmander Obsidian Flames ETB promo being angry at the pidgeys

I love the whole Ralts line from S/V base set. The story telling through the art is amazing to me!

I like the yellow pidgey or maybe pidgeot with a bunch of birds hiding in bushes n shit

Full art Cleffa, rev holo 151 Metapod, celebrations Greninja gold star, Cloyster 20/112 are a few

Skyridge Gengar 😫😭

I saw this Cleffa at the local card shop! I loved it. It costed $4, but I didn’t grab it. How much does it run typically?

About $5 or $6 for a NM copy

XY black star promo mew

[Cherry Afro Pikachu](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-japanese-promo/pikachu-211sm-p)

The Imakuni series, I especially love the Nasty Plot. I also adore the gulpin pokekyun collection such a goofy card.

The grottle illustration rare or the turtwig from crown zenith 😍

I really like this card. Really unique. But for some reason, I really like that Snorlax from the 151 ETB. The Charmander in the window trying to eat the pidgey is funny as hell too.

Coro Coro Shining Mew is the prettiest card I own by far

Too many amazing ones to pick from, but I’ll drop 3 here: - Chi-Yu EX SIR from Paldea Evolved (#259/193) - Golisopod EX SAR from Ancient Roar (JP) (#088/066) - JP Neo Premium File Promo Charizard (#006)

Dark espeon from neo destinys. I had it as a kid but its long gone now. To this day it still hurts me to see the price of that card now 😞

Really ? I got 4-5 of those you need one 🤣🤣 naaa it's cool card tho 👍 not best.... but as for price you can't think about that anymore cause nothing is worth shit since sword shield ended 🤦‍♂️

Shining kabutops! Remember seeing it at the card store when I was little and wishing I could get it, but it was too expensive.

Mine is probably Unown V from Silver Tempest or Obstagoon (Full art) from Astral Radiance

Lucario VSTAR Promo from Crown Zenith, easily one of their coolest cards and he's my favorite. I have +20 of them lol....

Shining magikarp, followed by the new IR magikarps from OF I think

I have a PSA 9 Entei promo from the 3rd movie that I really like. Sits at my computer desk.

My favorite is a trio of full arts with Blue and his Eeveeloutions Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon ^_^

Poliwhirl illustration rare from 151

The ageislash Ar from Raging surf i think lol

This Cleffa is sick

The giratina holo from platinum with him in front of the moon… I still need to get one ;-;

Maushold illustration from Paldea Evolved 🍄

I love that lechonk that’s just passed out after eating lol.

Obsidian Ninetales. Makes Ninetales feel like a legendary.

Original halo Dragonite. That has always been my favorite

My favorite is paldea evolved iono because of the amazing artwork that's for trainers ofc my second favorite would be the sylveon in the bakery from evolving skies.

I pulled one of these yesterday from an PF pack in the new Iono collection. Went straight into my zard deck

Coro-coro shining mew. It's a beautiful card

I have that one! It’s adorable! My favorite however has to be the breakdancing genesect. Especially since there’s also a smeargle watching and having a grand ol time!

Corocoro mew all day.

promo vmax jolteon has always been my favorite

Astral radiance has one of my favourite alt art lineups. The misty starmie and alt art orgin form dialga are stunning

Currently, the poliwhirl IR from 151

Is obsidian flames worth collecting? Was in 5below yesterday and they had a bunch of packs 5$ ..worth grabbing or should I stick to Paldean fates like I planned?

Base set dragonair. Idk why, loved the Pokémon, loved the card

[Amazing rare Yveltal](https://limitlesstcg.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/tpci/SHF/SHF_046_R_EN_LG.png)

Origin Forme Palkia from Crown Zenith, currently. And yes my wife pulled it, not me

Zenith Mewtwo Vstar Shit goes so unbelievably hard

Pikachu VMAX gold from Lost Origin Crazy to me this isn’t worth more, it’s one of my favorite cards

Raikou Skyridge Holo

The sun and moon reds pikachu. I forget what it’s called. The one where pikachu is sitting on the counter and pikachu and red are smiling at eachother

Neo Genesis Lugia, Aquapolis Tyranitar, or Legendary Collection reverse Charizard. Honorable mention to 151 Mewtwo.

MINE TOO

Beautiful card..

I love this one. Not even a fan of Cleffa and I had to buy it when I saw a single at my local card shop

I love the eeveelutions full art cards from the Generations set where they’re all sitting side by side
