Zacian - 100/094 - Phantasmal Flames
Woah, what a pull!
This card is absolutely beautiful, the colours and shine on it are incredible.
The art work is amazing! I am obsessed!

@camolNFT The issue is everyone likes modern because it’s a shared lived experience. A lot of Pokémon people who were into vintage weren’t into Pokémon during EX all the way up until sword and shield so no one really wants those cards and all the ones that have gone up are already a 20 X.
You might not like it, it might make you angry! But you have to accept the fact that eventually this is going to be the most expensive card in the set (currently 2nd) and will once again prove that Gen 1 is the greatest of all time and everything else is MID. 🐱🐱🐱
These anniversary promos are actually insane when you look closer.
Every card is packed with Gen 1 references:
Badges, locations and hidden Pokémon…
Feels like these might age very well.
Rent for one bedroom is $1,800.
That means you need over $4,700 a month just to qualify.
Show me the 22 year old making $73,000 a year for a starter apartment.
I’ll wait
Stop chasing the supposed “grails” of modern Pokemon sets and focus on the real grails from 20 or more years ago. Your future self will thank you.
In the long run, would you rather have two Charizard SIR from Scarlet & Violet 151
or one Ancient Mew from 2000 in English and PSA 10? There is a correct answer here. 151 is a nice set (especially for modern Pokemon), but it’s not iconic like the Ancient Mew.
(I reference the English version of Ancient Mew because the Japanese “Nintedo” error version I posted about a few weeks ago is now largely practically unobtainable for most.)
