Sometimes, it seems that Pokémon card collecting is all about the chase. Looking around the community, it can often feel like everyone is after a Charizard. When they're talking about vintage cards, it's Base Set Charizard this, Dark Charizard that, Blaine's Charizard over here, Shining Charizard over there. When they're talking about modern cards, it's Shiny Charizard V this, Rainbow Rare Charizard VMAX that, etcetera etcetera. The truth is, though, every set is filled with amazing cards and beautiful artwork, from the common cards to the holo rares. For example, take a look at the below holos from the Fossil set. We have Lapras, Ditto, Hypno, and Zapdos. Each of these cards is iconic pieces of Pokémon TCG history and, though they may not have the fire-breathing lizard, just imaging the hype of pulling one of these back in the day! Fossil itself is one of the most interesting sets, as it focuses on… well, fossil Pokémon such as Aerodactyl, Kabutops, and more. In addition to those, there are just some awesome cards here featuring the Generation One Pokémon in all of their glory.
