Temple of Sinnoh (Secret) #214 – $29.99
The first card in the best artwork pile goes to the Secret trainer card Temple of Sinnoh for its grandiose design that’s reminiscent of Greek architecture.
Hisuian Sneasler V (Alternate Full Art) #175 – $19.99
This Hisuian Alternate V has a special kind of artwork that draws you into the image for some much-needed escapism and is worthy of the best artwork list.
Hisuian Lilligant V (Alternate Full Art) #163 – $29.43
The second Hisuian Alternate V is Lilligant, posing alongside Spheal and Starly against a serene backdrop that’s very easy on the eyes.
Origin Forme Palkia V (Alternate Full Art) #167 – $89.98
Palkia can be seen almost disguised in an abstract display of chess-like designs while flaunting an origin form in this stunning Alternate V.
Machamp V (Alternate Full Art) #172 – $53.63
Keeping in line with the food-themed Tyranitar from Battle Styles, this Machamp Alternate V has the four-armed ‘Mon running errands in the most eye-catching card of the set.
