A few months ago, I got back into PTCG collecting since over ten years ago, and I've been spending hours and hours a day just catching up, seeing different prints of my favorite Pokemon, checking the values of older cards I would love to add to my collection, when I stumbled upon this:
That art is fantastic.
So I started digging, and realized there were actually a whole lot of Japanese-only Pokemon cards.
Off the top of my head, I can think of:
*Pokemon Vending Machine series (pictured above)
*Johto VS Gym Leaders
*and more recently released, Ultra Shiny GX (which has a lot of reprints, but some JP exclusives)
So I dug more, and I realized that there was no comprehensive overview of Japanese exclusive cards. I'm hoping this isn't a repeat thread, but I'm dying to get my hands on these cards. I absolutely love the art on that Poliwrath. (And yes, I know some of the vending cards ended up getting reprinted... which makes this hunt even harder.) If this list exists, I''d like to see it, and if not, I'd love to collaborate on putting one together with you guys =)
