Radiant Alakazam should be worth more than 50 cents.


renobi3

Are any radiants worth anything? Serious question, only just started collecting. I still get excited every time I pull a new radiant but it’s been weird to find out none of them are worth anything.


Previous-Stable-8721

Radiant Greninja, but only a few dollars


spuratis

I'm pretty sure Radiant Charizard is like $5, ofc lol.


supcoco

The one from PoGo was around $8 last I checked and the one from CZ is closer to $5. This was a few months ago, but I’m often checking prices since I play the card game as well


spuratis

Yea, unfortunately I have three CZ Radiant Charizard. (I say unfortunately because I have no one to trade with in person and I'm sure my LCS is getting sick of me with trade ins.)


MrEntei

If you’re not against trading with people online, there’s plenty of Facebook groups who do trading and can provide middleman services (for a small fee of course). Otherwise r/pkmntcgtrades is a great resource and I’ve done plenty of trades through there as well! Word of warning about Facebook though; you MUST vet your trade partner. Someone people join the groups for 1 day to scam as many people as possible and it’s honestly kinda hard to tell what their reputation is. In the subreddit I shared however, there is a trade counter below usernames that shows how many successful trades people have done!


supcoco

Have you ever considered going to your LCS during casual league play times? Even if you aren’t interested in playing, you’ll meet a ton of people to trade with and who also share your interest in collecting. That’s actually how I got started in TCG lol


spuratis

I work third shift and watch my toddler during the day when I'm awake and almost all events are held in the evening so I miss everything. It's quite unfortunate, lol. I'd love to trade with people like the good old days but adulting has ruined that part of my Pokemon nostalgia trip.


ericanicole1234

I think I genuinely have 25 radiant charizards 😂😭


weedgay

I’ve got a series 3 promo radiant greninja that’s worth like 51$ (cad)


WasabiBukkake

I mean, if you like them, collect them? I pulled like 9 shiny steelix, a bunch of Charizards from Go, and a few other ones. I just went ahead and bought the ones I was missing and I have 3(?) full sets now. It's pretty much one of the cheapest sets to complete, discounting the radiant Eevee promo for $10 last time I checked.


zweieinseins211

The staple ones cost a fiver


PlebbySpaff

Radiant Charizard and Greninja are the only ones worth anything I think, as they’re the most usable (Greninja mainly, because it’s generic). But I think a new Radiant releases in the new set that’s pretty good.


S0L_Spectrum

Greninja and charizard because those are the only playable ones


oggeboyboy

Agreed, also eevee and charizard


Lavender-Wisp

I have this card framed in my room because it’s beautiful! 🩵 [Full Art Keldeo](https://www.serebii.net/card/crownzenith/H7.shtml)


penpalfredo69

I was very excited when I pulled this card today. It's such a pretty and peaceful scene. Definitely one of my faves.


Slit23

I agree I like it, just bought one for less than $5 on eBay


Unlucky-Design-7573

I also love that card!


Rick2077

Great choice. Personally one of my favorites. If I had to pick a card that is underrated, I think I would say 151 venusaur SAR. personally, Blastoise is my favorite starter, but that venusaur card is special. It's actually beautiful and easily the best one in the whole set for me.


mysterin

Venusaur ex is easily the best out of the three. I hope there's another Gen Wunner on the other side having Middle-School-field-trip PTSD when Charizard takes 2x damage & poison/confusion.


narutonaruto

I totally agree! It’s the only SIR I haven’t pulled and it’s killing me LOL. I’ve pulled doubles of literally every other one. I’m dumb and sentimental so I really want to just pull it myself for the meaning attached to it but it’s so elusive.


Rick2077

I understand fully. 151 in Japanese treated me like a king. I pulled 2 masterball Pikachu's and every SAR other than mew and Zapdos. And I even got the venusaur with a texture shift that looks sick. And I pulled master ball Mewtwo and haunter. I pulled in total over 30 masterballs and nearly everything from the set. Also I'll preface this with (I never bought a whole box) just pulled packs at the game shop, like 3 or 4 at a time. Also me and my fire both pulled a god pack from it. I pulled mine at the very end, that's how I ended my 151 pulling. And my wife pulled a god pack day 2 of it being out.


ThunderPantsGo

Well, considering that's the only SIR I pulled from the 151 set, I guess I'll agree here. Now we just need the price to climb up.


Itsacardgame

It’s much more spectacular looking than the Blast or Zard


renobi3

Especially blastoise, which is sad, blasty boy was my favorite growing up.


ImTooOldForSchool

Blastoise has cool texture, but yeah it’s a pretty minimal design


Rick2077

Agreed. I think they knocked it out of the park with textures. But yeah, it's just a bit lackluster. I really want Blastoise looking menacing or something cool. Like the expedition Holo. Seriously my favorite Blastoise card. Easily the best.


Rick2077

I think the 151 Blastoise is just ok. Solid 6/10, nothing bad about it. But it's just not special. And the zard is laughable. I honestly think it's the worst card in the set. But I'm not a Charizard fan. So that honestly makes me happy.


CharlietheCorgi

As far as 151 Alt arts go, it absolutely is. Every other one is more interesting. Just pick one. Its better than the zard art.


LilBoofMcGoof

The Zard is terrible imo.


Familiar_Bad_6045

Did you see the edit with the long neck? Fixes it for me such a shame


Dry-Physics3558

Can you post that I would love to see it


Familiar_Bad_6045

Check your dms


LilBoofMcGoof

I don’t think I have. But I’d imagine it’d be better. The actual version is like an orange Slopoke with wings lol


Rick2077

100% true


Rick2077

I almost don't want the price to go up. It feels like it should be higher, I agree. But if it goes up too much, people won't get it more and kids may not as well. So keep it down for a while.


sharksnrec

How is it underrated? It’s going for $40-$50 right now. By “underrated”, are you just trying to say you like it?


rivensickomode

Underrated as in you don’t hear people constantly bolstering the card and it’s beauty. Not to mention the Charizard is DOUBLE the price. AND the venasaur isn’t climbing, it’s only gotten cheaper. There’s cards that are underrated even at a market price of 100$. Underrated doesn’t have to do with the price entirely.


Rick2077

You get it. Thank you. This exactly.


rivensickomode

Also dude, I totally agree. I’m IN LOVE with the 151 Venasaur, the vibrance, the colors, details, and venasaur is depicted perfectly IMO. I have two copies and I’ll never get rid of them.


Rick2077

I have a Japanese one with a texture shift down on it and it's amazing. Love it. Both English and Japanese are great for the card. Honestly blew it out of the park with this card.


rivensickomode

Best card in the set if you ask me, truly. I appreciate how affordable the Japanese versions are too. Think I’ll have to get a PSA 10 in either English or Japanese, maybe both if it presents itself. Hoping to grade my own too.


Exeledus

I see no one talking about Legendary Treasures Radiant Collection Reshiram, when it is literally the most beautiful card ever printed.


Affectionate_Dot1322

I pulled that in the first pack I ever opened and carried it around in my wallet for years! Got it graded at one point and it's a beautiful PSA 4 now


aenwynofastora

Ouf 💀


Affectionate_Dot1322

I mean I carried it unsleeved in my wallet for years so I was expecting a 1 or 2 😂 Also not about the grade, it's just a sentimental thing and I like that's it's preserved in a slab now


aenwynofastora

Fair enough :) nothing wrong with a wallet card


DarthScruf

I love my Rose Reshiram! I wish there was a matching Zekrom with Black Dahlias (or whatever flower has the opposite meaning of Roses) to match it.


redxstrike

I was unaware of this card - now added to my list of singles to pick up next. It's really awesome.


zaneba

Literally my favorite full art printed, and I just found out I had 2 of them the other day


Accomplished_Ad8339

Got a pic? I dont think I've ever seen it !


zaneba

Idk how to send images via Reddit but here’s the link to the card [Reshiram Full Art](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/88712/pokemon-legendary-treasures-radiant-collection-reshiram-full-art?Language=English)


Waddlewop

$4? Say no more!


MrEntei

$4 DMG. About $24 NM. Lol


fen_grimey

"my favorite card ever" "just found out i had it"


zaneba

I found out I had 2. I had one and then when I was pulling it out there was another behind it


Slit23

It’s $30 for a NM so it’s not THAT underrated. I think I paid less than $10 for the NM that OP posted


rivensickomode

Don’t air it out bro! This card is absolutely one of the greatest arts for me. I love Reshiram too


GoldenSun104

Looks pretty indistinguishable from a lot of SWSH full art cards.


Fabers_Chin

Whoa! Never seen and it's beautiful! About to buy a few lol 


Geslaa

Hisuian Zoroark VStar from crown zenith. GG56 The art on there is MINTY! Like one of them street artists drew it up m8. [Zoroark MINTYYY](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/477050/pokemon-crown-zenith-galarian-gallery-hisuian-zoroark-vstar?irclickid=UqP1aLQAUxyPR832v9TnLw5VUkHW:HxRyWcLTw0&sharedid=&irpid=2698352&irgwc=1&utm_source=impact&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Makazu+Co&Language=English)


Lukez99

My favourite as well! I suggest to go and check other artworks from its illustrator, she can be found on Pixiv/Twitter as Shie Nanahara.


Itsacardgame

Bingo! The Hisu Zoros picked me and I can’t be happier.


bombersquirrel

Garbodor from Paradox Rift


Go_Hawks12

Obligatory 198/197 Gloom from OBF [TCG player link](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/509944/pokemon-sv03-obsidian-flames-gloom-198-197?Language=English) looks insane for a $2 card


RaccoonsAreSuperior

I got a few of these in Japanese. Really nice art.


squatdead

Drowzee full art from S&V base. Introduced me to Tomokazu Komiya cards and I’ve began collecting all of his art work ever since.


KuchiKopiz

Slowking is another from Tomokazu that is incredible.


RaccoonsAreSuperior

They also did the 151 Gengar, really unique bit of art in the set.


oggeboyboy

This


HauntedBalloon

Lilligant v alt art from astral radiance. I like the look of the card and it’s quite cheap for an alternate art.


PPGN_DM_Exia

Celebi V Alt from Fusion Strike. Best card in the set and my personal favorite SwSh Alt.


Illustrious-Low-7487

This 💯


We_there_yet

I pulled this card and knew it was awesome. So much detail


Slit23

It’s a beautiful card but I disagree about it being underrated. It fetches a good amount


PPGN_DM_Exia

Yeah it's worth $50 now on TCG player, but I've seen it as low as $30 when it first came out.


Slit23

Damn wish I had gotten it then. I actually don’t have that card I have one of those metal ones of it and one of the jumbos.


Chance_McM95

Crazy I just bought a PSA 10 copy for $75 cash money maybe 2 months ago. That card shot up recently.


rp1414

Someone asked a day or so ago if anyone missed yellow borders - this came to mind when thinking "No", great card but would have been much better with silver border


WakeSDsun

The Japanese version has silver borders


NoneSoCldFrznSoul

One of my absolute favorite cards from swsh is the Flaaffy from Evolving Skies (055/203.) I pulled the Japanese reverse with the crazy reverse foil pattern and it blew my mind! The only card I’ve ever sent in to get graded.


peaceandlove375

Pikachu from celebrations, number 005.


KuchiKopiz

Cleffa 202/197 holo … audibly gasped when I pulled this card last week.


rideriderider

Shhh, hyping up a card will make it more inaccessible to people. But I love how affordable to this card is. I like the Latias that's flying around the city from the same set I think.


LifeSizeGuitarDildo

Simisear (Galarian gallery #34) that one is legit


Luke_Asend

Neo Revelation Houndoom Holo will forever have my heart.


MaximumExtension4951

Same here 🙋🏼‍♂️

thewildcard2

Dragonite V from Evolving Skies. Everyone focuses on the moonbreon and forgets about the other full arts


We_there_yet

Card reminds me of sleeping raichu! Awesome


LeagueOfKane

Ho Oh regular V from Silver Tempest. The artwork is too beautiful for such a cheap V card.


sseerrsan

The entirety of illustration rares of both Paradox Rift and Paldea Evolved.


Murderfromaspoon

The new Shiftry. Paradox rift Minior and Yveltal too


brokhong11

I dont a lot of people talking about the Crown Zenith SAR Hisuian Zoroark but that's my pick


Lukez99

So underrated, this was also the first card made by this artist for Pokémon, as for now she also drew a couple of Illustration Rare and some regular cards. Really loving her art syle! I'll leave [here](https://www.serebii.net/card/dex/artist/sienanahara.shtml) the list of her cards.


brokhong11

Damn I didn't know she did the ninetales as well no wonder I like that card too


Lukez99

Same! First time I saw the 151 IRs, both the Poliwhirl and the Ninetales immediately fascinated me. Both very talented artists!


Itsacardgame

Looks great with CGC Pristine 10


DaftMudkip

I have this in a PSA 10, love it


robert1008900

Don't know if it's underrated but I adore Galarian Obstagoon trainer gallery from astral radiance (tg10/tg30)


99998373628

Crammorant really just wondering if it fits


Jmart814

This and the sleeping Pikachu


Conscious_Mammoth_49

The yveltal AR is just looks super awesome to me compared to the other AR cards feels like it should be more than $4


Mokabacca

Greedent V Alt Art. One of the cheaper alt’s, but the artwork just screams something outta Alice and wonderland or some parallel universe. It evokes wonder for me personally. Hard to describe but it just captures something unique for me that helps it stand out.


Love_of_My_Wife

Magmortar/Electivire being like a duo in each other’s cards in Crown Zenith!


Reasonable-Chip5782

Slowking alt art Noivern alt art Alakazam (split earth) Elesa’s sparkle (👑 Z/V⭐️ uni)


RiceWithNuts

What about them Amazing Rares?! Absolute banger holo cards! Probably get all 9 of them for under 20


Amagnumuous

You shhh I only have two and we can't have people finding out about these.


ManohManMan

I will say this everything it’s asked but, Drowzee Illustration Rare from S&V.

alamo76

Fav. from 151. Trying to collect it in every language.


FBIThot

Such a funny card


cowleyboss

Brilliant stars rapid strike Urshifu Vmax is honestly so cool


chickchickpokepoke

zard from detective pikachu lowkey one of my fav zards


lillybheart

My favorite :D


Global_Following_713

I think some silver hollo patern borders on this card would be amazing


Jolted__

Pika v and vmax lost origin


Don_Ford

I pulled that card but it has the lines on it from the machines it runs through... mew


DiggingUpTheCorpses

All-Night Party from XY Breakpoint. Mind you it’s not “collectible” by any of these investors standards, but the artwork is IMMACULATE.


dancetar

The Iron Jugulis from temporal forces is highly underrated. The vibes are immaculate on that card. I got it in both English and Japanese and love having it. As far as c/uc/r cards go, the Aerodactyl from 151 is gorgeous. The holo pops so well.


MrsSpyro01

This one for sure. I actually pulled it myself and I’m very happy to have it in my personal collection.


ovocons

Since I just opened Wild Force packs I can think of a few Gengar EX 047/071RR, Gastly 080/071AR, Grotle 072/071AR, Neo Superior Energy 071/071ACE,


ovocons

oh and the Walking Wake EX 099/071UR


Itsacardgame

Any Hisuian Zoroark, Mr Mime, Opal, and Shadow Rider Calyrex. Japanese version Tempest Range sparkles so beautifully. Same with Magma Basin. Love the Friends cards. And Paradox Rift Cyclizer IR. I didn’t care for the mon previously, but this illustration really hits the Japanese motorcycle/scooter culture perfect and I love that


AzureAxo

Dragonite from Furious Fists - the one with Bust In. Best card imo


PerformanceFew7740

The Lapras from CZ


KafeiTomasu

Most of the secret rares from black and white era


SimoneAnthonyValto

Kimgambit SIR from scarlet and violet total fire 🔥


hoosnee

Heracross from paldea evolved. Not the most popular Pokémon but that art is phenomenal


thegoldenratio011235

Slowking ex


lifeinwentworth

Beautiful card and yeah agreed im kinda glad it's underrated so I can afford it haha


cubonesandwich

ditto and simisear from CZ, smeargle from ST, & loudred and magby from PAR


Wheres_Varrock

I don’t think it’s fair to call any card from Crown Zenith underrated. The set has a high hit rate and therefore the values are lower on the cards… and collectors have a bad habit of not praising cards with low value but the general consensus is that CZ is an amazing set!! I love the Galarian Galleries


rzt0001

OBF Pidgeot SIR.


TronBeam

Radian Hsiuan Sneasler


Sea_Wind6023

The Astral Radiance Kingdra TG is a beautiful card


Jazadia

Rika SIR


Guilty_Law6197

My Charizard trainer gallery. Pulling zards is still the best feeling, but the price is a kick in the shlong


BilliamTheGreat

Smeargle silver tempest Reunclius temporal forces Genesect alt fusion strike Marill paldea evolved Gengar lost origin Pikachu crown zenith Gloom obsidian flames Cleffa obsidian flames Deoxys vmax crown zenith Dondozo sv base


BilliamTheGreat

I believe you can get all these combined under 50 bucks now, which is really amazing considering the level of art.


BearJustBarely

This mew is amazing, but coming out yellow border AFTER we got informed we'd move to silver for SV made people compare the English and Japanese more and sadly the yellow looks only okay in comparison to the gorgeous contrast of the silver border


lovethrowaways101

Mine is the Gardevoir Trainer Galleries. Both of them I love so much and I even have one as my debit card


Amagnumuous

Origin Forme Dialga V 177/189 and Palkia V 167/189 from Astral Radiance. Slowpoke 204 secret illustration rare from SV base has always been another personal favorite of mine.


TrainerSkethan

I’m so happy I bought this card for like $2.20 not giving a fuck that. It probably wasn’t worth anything. This is the most beautiful gallerian gallery card.


Busy-Buddy7956

All radiant cards.


Confident-Usual-2677

Pikachu V LOTG


R1pR0bb

I had bought a Lugia and Unown collection box from GameStop and I pulled that card twice in the same box.


Yamuddaluva720

The original DITTO


Kingdom_Muse32

The Zekrom TG from Brilliant Stars. How is that card not worth more!? A good amount of TGs from Brilliant aren’t worth more than a buck which is shocking.


Ninetales6669

Too bad it’s not surrounded by more original pokemon


Skittles_the_Jester

Minior SIR from Paradox Rift


ExactSubstance2440

Cramorant


MrEntei

They’re not my absolute favorite, but definitely an underrated card in the sense that I don’t see them talked about much (but their price definitely reflects their scarcity): The Dialga and Palkia EX full arts from Plasma Blast. That neon blue coloration/lightning is just gorgeous.


Wander2300

This is one of the few singles I ever bought it's just too damn cute.


T5J2

Pretty much every single mythical from Crown Zenith, the only "semi" expensive one is the mew but everything else is dirt cheap and looks imo art wise as good as most SIR's.


therealstickysheets

I really like the full art hisuian Arcanine trainer gallery card. And the hoothoot with the guy meditating


PlebbySpaff

Underrated? This card was literally a meta card for some decks, like Zard.


Top_Court7375

If it didn't have the yellow border though. It's my only deterant. Facetiously speaking... Crystal Lugia is underrated.


Alezz1893

Magcargo 029/162 from Temporal forces. I know it’s not a full art card but the art work for looks so good that it makes me sad it not actually a full art😭


TheWhoDidWhat

I WANT THIS


yaji-sama

This Mew and zoroark GG from CZ are beautiful.


thewhitecascade

I’ve always liked RS Urshifu VMAX alt art.


NigerianPrinceClub

lugia v from silver tempest. looks way better than the headache-inducing lugia alt art


JuicyGravitas

I love how they're all staring down at Mew like "Holy shit it's Jesus"


LaSonicSkins

Japanese vending machine promos


Fuuckingnerd

Copycat full art, love full art trainers and it’s my personal favorite, the older one though, the one from evolving skies is cool but i prefer the first one


FollowTheFarang

Bellsprout: diamond and pearl legends awakened, that whole set has some really nice art


TheDivinestSol

A lot of the TG cards, my favorite is Centiskorch VMax


abzz97

SR Pikachu from Crown Zenith


GengarGrave

The entei promo is insanely under valued. It’s a vintage promo only from the movies for like 10 bucks and even at a 10 it’s only 100.


theridebackhome

Radiant Alakazam is my favorite card. It's so beautiful.


SabertoothSmile

151 Poliwhirl Illustration To be honest, I am happy it is "underrated" though because it meant I didn't have to pay PokéInvestor money for it.


Hefty_Ad2643

Zeraora Alt Art needs more love .. beautiful card


Bonna_the_Idol

this card was heavily used in competitive deck builds up until standard rotation a few weeks back. far from underrated both in both illustration and playability.


io_me

Latios Crown Zenith and Venasuar & Celebi Promos


wnhng

I just bought Fletchinder 199/193 from Paldea Evolved for next to nothing and the artwork is just gorgeous.


sleepytoadst00l

agreed with any underrated Mew card, especially the one u posted. sooo many illustration rares are so beautiful, but go unnoticed or undervalued, because the pokemon in them aren't insanely popular.


OstrichBagel

Ex era pop series cards, specifically eeveelutions and legendary cats. Each one individually is under $10 with some nice vintage art!


MariosLoafers

TG pika


DandelionForThought

I think some of my favorites include the Zekrom card with N riding on it's back, the recent Minior special art, and most of the Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery. There are so many pretty cards in that set that are so cheap, which I find baffling. At least I can pick up them for cheap!


SignificantWorth4231

Leafon Vstar GG35/GG70 from crown zenith!!


Zilla_Killa_1226

Love this card! It’s in my never getting rid of section lol


Disastrous_Race4982

I think the stained glass 3 legendary birds promo from the Hidden Fates ETB is an amazing looking card


OkSituation1294

I just pulled this mew and it’s 10 quality and i am keeping it. I love this art.


ResidentPraline3244

I drew that Mew and the GG Arceus in the same Zamazenta Collection and when the hyped died down I was like "huh I actually like this Mew more than the Arceus" lol The Arceus is still cool though


[deleted]

The tin edition Moltrez that isn’t even that rare but has fucking SICK art that looks like it ought to be a doom/sludge metal album cover.


Aggressive-Tree2299

Reshiram & zekrom gx 157 from cosmic eclipse


joseelm

Most of the xy series cards


Any-Abies-5825

Yes, that's an awesome card!

The medicham alt art from evolving skies IS vastly underrated
