Van Gogh Pokemon TCG Promo Cards May Be Coming!

[Water Pokémon Master]

Yesterday TPCi teased a special collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The collaboration will begin September 28th. No further details were released.
We’ve now discovered a listing showing that TPCi ordered “Van Gogh promo cards” from one of their TCG printing factories. This seems to indicate TPCi plans to release promo cards inspired by Van Gogh’s style. In the video, we see Sunflora artwork that could be teasing one of the cards. It’s also in the same aspect ratio as a Pokemon card.

This wouldn’t be the first time Pokemon has partnered with an art museum to release promo cards. Back in 2018, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum held an Edvard Munch exhibition in which his famous painting The Scream was on display for the first time in Japan. To celebrate the exhibition, Pokemon...

Munch/Scream promos were inspired by a complete different artist that has nothing to do with this collaboration, so it is highly doubtful. Looking forward to this potential sunflora card though! Hope we see something inspired by his "Starry Night" painting as well

I would recommend you reread this article

My bad, I forgot that VG was not the artist behind The Scream.

Awesome, I can't wait to never get these in English (read: America) and them be worth hundreds of dollars on eBay.

Kinda wierd we got no promos here in Norway considering Munch was Norwegian.

All for scalpers to eat it up.

It literally says that TPCi ordered the promos.

I haven't looked into this much to confirm, but I have always assumed, given it was formed from a merger of PUSA and PUK and can't think of any reason contrary, that TPCi would manage language editions of the TCG in Europe. In the case of Amsterdam I imagine English is most likely, but the cards could have a decent shot of being printed in another language.

You're right, let me get out my playset of Grookey on the Ball.

"I can't wait to never get these in English"
Grookey on the Ball is definitely in English. If you had said "I can't wait to never get these in the USA" then it would be a whole other thing.

This is pretty cool and glad to see they are making cards for this collab.

IF they do one based on the Mona Lisa, which Pokemon would you think would be best for the role? I'm thinking Wobbuffet myself

 

[jdubs4lief]

Psyduck is the only one who truly is terrified

 

[SmokingGenga]

Yes omg finally an awesome event I can go to.
The museum is only 2 hours away from me and
I really hope they only give out the promo cards to people attending to the museum!

Weird to bring the Mona Lisa up as it has nothing to do with this collab. The video suggest that it will be based around Van Gogh famous sunflower paintings, of which there are more than one. His portraits are to specific (opposed to Munchs Scream) so I can’t see these copied in anyway. Maybe some landscapes or still life that incorporate Pokémon in the end.

The article says that they released these cards in 2018, I doubt they’re still giving them away at the museum.

the person was talking about this event, with an upcoming collaboration with an actual physical museum in Amsterdam and not about the 2018 munch cards.

Some artist in the community made this. Pretty epic to have this on a card.

The Van Gogh Museum is 50 years old this year, so maybe that’s a lot to do with the timing of the collaboration

I agree from the perspective of the importance of the artist in Norway. Because it was a collaboration between the exhibition/museum and Pokémon I guess it was led by the museum.
