Summary

  • Pokemon TCG fan repurposes work plaque to display prized Charizard holo card.
  • New Pokemon TCG Journey Together expansion set to be released in English on March 28.
  • The Pokemon community showcases creativity in displaying rare cards, including a custom Eevee evolution unit.

A Pokemon TCG fan has used a commemorative plaque from their place of work to display one of their treasured cards. The Pokemon Trading Card Game has been in existence almost as long as the franchise itself, with the first cards rolled out in October 1996 and going strong ever since. In fact, the latest set will be released in a matter of weeks.

Meanwhile, the new Pokemon TCG Journey Together expansion will be released on March 28 for the first time in English. The new set is based on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and features over 180 new cards. The announced cards include N’s Zoroark ex, Iono’s Bellibolt ex, Lillie’s Clefairy ex, and Hop’s Zacian ex, with The Pokemon Company teasing many more surprises. As the excitement for the next batch of trading cards continues to build, one collector has revealed a unique way of displaying their most precious Pokemon.

A user on Reddit named mikeygribbin has found a novel way of displaying their most prized Pokemon card. The Pokemon TCG collector was given a celebratory plaque for completing a decade in their job. Instead of displaying the commemorative work achievement, the fan decided to repurpose the plaque to display an original Charizard holo. Fans were quick to praise mikeygribbin’s crafty recycling, with the post amassing over 57,000 upvotes at the time of writing.

A Pokemon TCG Fan Showcases Their New Display

The comments praised the creativity of the original poster, with some arguing it was better than its original contents. Others shared similar photos of their rare Pokemon trading cards, including one who posted their rare Ancient Mew card. Other users warned about keeping the card sandwiched for long periods as the type of plastic could eventually cause damage to the precious card if not carefully looked after.

Pokemon fans have always found creative ways to display their cards. A dedicated Eevee fan built a custom display unit that proudly showed off every evolution. The impressive unit showcased every one of Eevee’s evolutions with a unique border surrounding the Kanto original. On completing the task, the poster joked that Game Freak had best not introduce any more evolutions to Eevee’s line, something which the company hasn’t done since Pokemon X and Y in 2013.

The Pokemon community is eagerly awaiting the unique ways they will present their cards, shifting focus towards the future of the trading card game. Ahead of its official unveiling by The Pokemon Company, certain TCG cards have already been leaked. The Heat Wave Arena will be the upcoming set to debut in Japan and includes full-art cards showcasing Rotom, Shaymin, and Cynthia’s Roserade.
