pokemon booster box wotc Vintage Gym Heroes 1st Edition Pokémon Vintage Base Set 2 Pokémon

The art was a little weird and stylistically didnt match a ton of the cards before or after but the cards themselves look sharp and dark and clean and the old border with the foiling looks pretty good

I almost dropped the "budget" aspect from the title because of this

Azorius, the combination of Blue and White mana, is a pretty oppressive choice

But can you tell the difference in style between Lake Hurwitzs Whirler Virtuoso and David Gaillets Empyreal Voyager

First Edition Base Set means that the booster box in question is part of the Pokemon TCG's first print run - subsequent printings lose their First Edition label

In retrospect, I may have hit this point a bit too hardthe lack of a second clear chase mythic and the state of Standard in the year and change prior probably had more to do with the sets weak reception than the leaks did
