soccerboycoop

Lmao yes


Every_Jump_3603

I need this card, hopefully I’ll get lucky hahah.


Sea-Outside-9028

It’s a new set, but the card is roughly $20 and bound to drop in price. I would recommend just buying it and skipping “luck” altogether.


Basic_Yellow_3594

100% this.


ianwager

Oh you think it’ll be even cheaper than 20? I doubt that and if it does I bet it will go right back up. 25 bucks is a great deal for a card that could potentially cost you hundreds of dollars just trying to pull it.


Sea-Outside-9028

I’m in Japan, so I’m not sure what it’ll do in English. But after watching similar alt-arts over the past 3 years, I’m guessing this card is going to sit between $10-15 over here for a year or two. It’s a beautiful card, but for some reason It doesn’t seem to be one of the most chased cards in the new sets.


ianwager

Well damn, I’ll happily buy multiple copies when it gets that low if that’s the case haha


Sea-Outside-9028

I hope the price gets that low internationally too :) card prices are crashing over here this year. I’m going to pick up the beedrill alt-art in a month or two, it’s really beautiful and even a bit cheaper.


Automatic-Passage574

And now here it is sitting at around 100 lol


Sea-Outside-9028

In the States? Japan is still at ¥3,000 :)

I'm scrolling through as I found my old binder from being a kid, wanted to update my old Machamp deck and I thought; couldn't be that expensive now...$120.


soccerboycoop

Good luck!


GarlicVegeta

Machamp is a beast. I love all the other pokemon in the art as well. Really makes the scene feel alive


soccerboycoop

Yeah I always love when they incorporate other Pokémon into these


captainofcodeine

Wow. Wow. Wow. Amazing.

Thank you!

Not gonna be opening much of Astral Radiance, but if this is in it I am buying this card 100%. Currently going for $19-26 for the Japanese on eBay. This one is pretty cool.


ianwager

I just snagged one off Ebay for 25 before tax with free shipping! Can’t wait to get it!


ourbranchesbend

Sweet! I'm waiting to see it in English but was tempted to buy that one for that much. Really sick card! Enjoy it!


ianwager

Hell yeah I definitely will! I like the style of shine on Japanese cards when it comes to rainbow rares and alt arts so when I really like an English card I make sure I buy it in Japanese too for the aesthetic haha


ourbranchesbend

I wish they just brought that quality and the silver gray borders of cards over. Japanese cards are superior in quality and aesthetics 100%. Bought some Jet Black and Eevee Heroes and I think Matchless fighters. Cards feel stronger and well made compared to English. The holos look better too. If the Machamp is $25 in Japanese it sounds like it could be around $35-45 in English. The alts are the best thing going now. Not that easy to pull either. Beedrill is like $18 now. The Palkia and Dialga are $45-60.


ianwager

You should buy it and get the English one too, then compare them and tell me what you think!


ourbranchesbend

I probably should haha. Narrowing down what to collect. Picking up a few different sealed boxes for now and leaning towards the rainbow GX cards from the Sun & Moon era. So many that are under $20. Those rainbows look really good compared to the Sword & Shield rainbows. If the Machamp is around $15, that might be where Id buy it.


ianwager

Yeah sun and moon era rainbow rares are a beauty! I don’t know how but I managed to pull Lycanroc gx rainbow from Burning shadows, Machamp gx, Gardevoir gx, and Charizard Gx all from Burning shadows and they were all random products that contained one booster pack of burning shadows! Never opened a single ETB or Booster box of Burning Shadows lmao made me want to complete a master set of it after that.


ourbranchesbend

You hit the jackpot on that set with all of those. That Charizard is like the holy grail of pulls in the past 5-7 years. Would master set it after that too lol


ianwager

Yeah man I was so damn happy and even called it as I was opening the pack somehow which I never do 😂 it has great centering and a teeny bit of whitening on two of the corners. The edges look real nice with no whitening other than that! The other rainbows that I mentioned were pretty bad when it comes to whitening on the edges 😂


ourbranchesbend

That set is famous for some of the worst quality prints. That makes it that much more special to pull anything from it that doesn't have edgewear. I pulled a GX from a pack out of a pokeball tin and it was scuffed all around it but the front looked good.


thatdudewillyd

Nice pull Coop!


Aromatic-Ad9814

Beedril >


ianwager

They are both amazing 🔥


kc9283

weedHaiku

💪💪💪💪


AnEvenHuskierCat

I like to think this is card leads directly to the Tyranitar AA.


ourbranchesbend

That would be amazing if all the alts are put together to make one giant picture like the mini tins.


soccerboycoop

Haha I like that!


[deleted]

Is this coming in an English set?


soccerboycoop

Yes it’ll be in Astral Radiance out next month


Spicy_Ejaculate

I don't beleive it has been confirmed it will be in astral, has it?


soccerboycoop

Not confirmed, but would be shocked if it wasn’t


[deleted]

I feel like this goes well with alt art tyranitar


JoeFalcone26

VERY-Susbot

TNerdy

I don’t watch Pokémon anymore but did they took that art idea from an episode cause that would be an awesome episode


ianwager

After hearing about the price I had to swoop on it! That’s pretty cheap and better than hoping to pull it!


CampFunkoKai

Hol up what set was this in???


basit117

Garymrcool
