Mike is a real one. Much respect. Evo Skies. Got my moonbreon out of a $10 mini tin from a local DG. It got me into this whole Pokemon hype again after a decade+ out of the loop.

I would love to have a LCS to go to. Unfortunately any physical stores nearby have huuuuge markups compared to online stores. It's just not practical to be paying 40% more on every product.

It's Lost Origin for the Jurassic Park Aerodactyl for sure. Evolving Skies is a banger of a set but my chase for it is the Dragonite. Definitely dig all the alt arts for most of the Sword and Shield sets though.

I gotta say, I think Lost Origin is a drastically undervalued set, on all fronts. Great Trainer Gallery, with a lot of great full arts. There are a few others that are very close, but I think L.O. edges them out for me.

The best set from SWSH is Evolving Skies. The value and elusiveness and depth can’t really be touched. It is not my favorite, however! My favorite is probably Lost Origin. It’s the first set that really intrigued me when I got back into the hobby. I also like PoGO quite a bit. It’s just a weird set, and when I pulled my first peelable Ditto, the research I did led to such a cool discovery. I had no idea what it was!
