@@elvistcg you know this hobby is sensitive

I can’t believe there are people like this who just doesn’t care about artwork on the hobby. Yeah I’m not a fan of the loyal 3 either but if you’re going to tell me you don’t think those illustrations rares, then you truly are in the wrong hobby. They are beautiful cards. You also forgot to mention the fact the loyal 3 irs are in the set. Saying the gold cards are irrelevant is crazy. Gold earthen vessel will be very popular.

Art is subjective after all, I'm sure there are cards you don't appreciate while others would pay top dollar for them. It's not your call to say if I'm in the right hobby or not. I love the houndoom art and a few others that I already bought in Japanese regardless of value. We all have our way of collecting

The houndoom is crazy good, Gold cards have awful art on them sadly they are irrelevant

Good assessment on the set I have the same views except I’m only doing 1 etb so I can buy more houndoom singles

This set isn’t aimed at collectors or investors like you. It’s more or a specialty set that focuses more on the competitive side of Pokemon

It’s aimed at pokemon fans at the end of the day and that’s what we all are. But I hear you, the set will still sell nicely even without me buying it

Yeah most people don’t realize it’s a game as well. I have no clue how you can be invested in the hobby and not have an understanding on how to play the game. It completely changes your perspective on my certain cards are priced a certain way.

@@memestar1118 I do play the game, but not at a competitive level just on ptcgo. Obviously my opinion is more so based on collecting or investing in the cards

I personally love the sleepy Zorua, the Horsea & the Cresselia, and its really cool that we now have IRs of Houndour & Houndoom. The issue is I can just buy all of these cards for probably pretty cheap, because as you said there’s not many cards to hit which will make the hit rate nice. I’m copping the promos and then I see no value in ripping this set

@elvistcg

My thoughts exactly. I already bought a few copies of Houndoom, Zorua, and Cassiopia from a Japanese seller. Once the english side comes out I'll be doing the same with singles and the promos. Just don't feel the itch to rip packs for this one

kids will love them!

What are you yapping about? Earthen Vessel is a stapple and the trainers full art are cards used in a couple of decks.

Maybe they didn't reveal all the cards yet

It’s possible we get some extras but also possible this is all there is

They made sure everyone was going to buy at least a little bit of this set by making the best two card promos 😂
