Hey there!

I believe some of us like to collect Pokemon Cards, and I'm curious to see what is everyone's top 3 favorite artworks!
I know it is hard to pick three, so feel free to send a bunch more if you cannot make up your mind.
You can use the pictures from TCGPlayer, copy the link, post it in your message and then resize the images.

My collection revolves around vintage cards mostly, this is what I grew up with. I barely like what has been published post-HGSS era.


Anyway, here is my top 3!

I'm happy to own the Lugia in French, and both the Ho-Oh and Espeon in English. These are absolutely stunning cards!

i loved collecting the japanese cards as a kid! i have a story with all of these, and so i fell in love with the art and the cards themselves :)
delta latios was the first card i ever got for free for example!

Great selection! I love those!

Yeah any card, any language is accepted!
 
I never got to own many cards growing up... I've spotted these on my travels though, and I adore the bizarreness!

Here's my three!​

While the artwork may not be the peak in the series, the card will always hold a special place to me, as I've always loved the idea of the postman Dragonite ever since I was young. While i wished he would make his way to the game, when i saw it existed, I started looking all over (Boot sales, game shops, etc.) as a kid looking for this card. So for that, it holds a lot of nostalgia to me.

I hope this counts as one, because without them being together it doesn't do it justice. This card is what led to me loving Lugia, and becoming my favorite legendary. The art is the peak in the TCG in my opinion, even while being as old as it is it's so hard to beat.

Shiny Pikachu, 'nuf said!
 
Love all those!

We haven't seen much modern yet!

I LOVE the Japanese cards over the english ones. And I'm a sucker for alternate forms!

These 3 are absolute beauts to see even digitally, whether it be the shine each one gives or bug.

This Dragonite GB is quite affordable despite its age! Stunning card, I own one in LP condition, it could have fit in my top 20.
 
Clearly there are some glorious cards that exist! I'm missing out!
 
I'm reviving the thread! I wanna see more cards!
 
Some of my favourites from the Scarlet & Violet ara rather than all time, just to keep the thread going :)
