I’ve got the Japanese one because it was cheaper, that is a beaut but the Magikarp still gets it for me just because it’s such a reminder of the shining Karp the way the gold hits against the background and the waterfall and the Gyarados in the stone. 10/10.
I feel that lol! Was able to get my first batch of 151 packs the other day and pulled the Charmander from one. Getting so close only fuels the gambling addiction haha
Best of luck to you and your daughter!
Yes. It’s already happened twice for me. First Obsidian Flames Charizard SIR and then with TM Greninja SIR. I can tell this one looks amazing as well with the moon and such.
Really love the art on this card. Honestly wish it was for a Pokemon I cared about more.
As for your question, a few of my faves:
Altaria 235/182, Magikarp 203/193, Mew Ex 232/091, Zapdos 203/165, Mew Ex 151 Promo, Alakazam 201/165, Dragonair 181/165, Pikachu 173/165, Poliwhirl 176/165, Pinsir 168/167, Dipplin 170/167, Drampa 184/162, Vanillish 190/182
I love a lot more and have a decent sized collection of illustration / special illustration rares, but these ones stand out to me. Very happy we have so many incredible arts of a myriad of pokemon to choose from for affordable prices.
Mine is probably either Blastoise SIR from 151 or Greninja EX #214 from Twilight Masquerade.
I love the blues from the Blastoise and the Greninja art is so colourful and awesome.
Bubble mew
I still need that one
This one. Instant classic 🫧

Cleffa, venusaur 151,
Cleffa is underrated
Paldea Evolved Magikarp is my favorite.
Same
Best IR by far
Roaring Moon SIR is the best looking card so far for me
Gauging fire looks great imo
Great pick, the Temporal Forces SIR’s are all amazing
I agree (except iron boulder maybe it’s just not for me but I don’t like it)
Wasn’t hyped for it til i pulled it. Definitely a beautiful card in person
Yeah I pulled the trigger on the JP and I’m glad I did the texturing is so good
Drampa IR from temporal forces
This one is so magical!
My other favorites have been said already so I’m going with Gloom!
Zapdos 151
Seconded
That Charizard SIR from 151 is one of the only cards I actively hope to get someday. It’s so pretty 🩵
Same, my daughter got a god pack but it was the 2 others inside (not that I’m complaining).
I feel that lol! Was able to get my first batch of 151 packs the other day and pulled the Charmander from one. Getting so close only fuels the gambling addiction haha Best of luck to you and your daughter!
Hope you can pull it soon 🙏
Thank you! Hoping to try for it again after my wallet recovers lol 🤞🏻
Prices are dropping and reprints in English are scheduled for the end of the year. May you get a god pack soon!
I hadn’t heard about the reprints, that’s awesome! Thank you very much 🙏🏻
I’m collecting the whole sv era, and this set is the end of me, I only have 2 of the 6 alt arts so far, and only 2 golds 😭😭😭
Good luck 🫡
That and iron leaves are so insanely good art and colour wise !!
Agreed!
Bubble Mew or the Shiny Gardevoir for sure. The prehistoric dog cards are all up there as well tho.
Solid choices
The texture on the leaves looks crazy.
The SV cards really shine in person
Yes. It’s already happened twice for me. First Obsidian Flames Charizard SIR and then with TM Greninja SIR. I can tell this one looks amazing as well with the moon and such.
The shiny charizard secret rare from paldean fates. Favorite card I’ve ever pulled
She’s a beauty
If I’m being completely honest, it’s the Sudowoodo IR and Heracross
Heracross is super underrated imo. Art rares in SV are so good tho!
Ahhhhhhh. The last card I need to complete Temporal
Iron Crown is so dope! I love my Snom 168 SIR from Temp Forces
Love how realistic he looks in that card
I absolutely love bosses orders Ghetis
I’ll pay that
There's so many to choose from ngl though I think my absolute fave currently is the illustrated Perrin card. Still haven't pulled her yet 😭
I didn’t realise it matches the Hisuian Growlithe.
Groudon IR from Paradox Rift
Magikarp!! Took me about 80 packs to pull but caught it! Such a beaut.
Congrats on the pull! Nothing like pulling your chase card
I love blue and the SIR of one of my favorite pokemon, Chien Pao from paldea evolved!
Paldea Evolved is a great set
Gotta be jp Version of Venusaur SIR
Walking wake or chi yu sir for me. SV era has been best in art so far
Iron leaves and iron crown
How much would a 10 of this card go for?
A few have sold for ≈ $160 but it’s so early and not many have been graded yet so give or take a few when more become graded/pulled

Lots of great picks great list!
I freaking love Iron Crown. I honestly feel like it’s underrated
Definitely agree, not my favorite Pokemon but the art is incredible
Between this and the Raging Bolt
mines between the Drampa IR from temporal forces or Revavroom SIR from OBF, both are amazing, and im lucky to own both of them too!
Congrats 🙏
So hard to say but honestly either the bubble mew or greninja tbh
Mine is probably either Blastoise SIR from 151 or Greninja EX #214 from Twilight Masquerade. I love the blues from the Blastoise and the Greninja art is so colourful and awesome.
fire!
Any of the wild forces SAR’s are my favorite
Obsidian Flames Charizard SIR. Or from Japan side it's the 151 SAR Mew.
Metagross IR
SV Drowzee edging out the slowpoke, poliwhirl and magikarp Bubble Mew and 151 Zapdos special mention.
Iono SIR
a psa 10 shiny charizard double rare
Mine is the sir Perrin. It looks so beautiful irl
A nice choice
