00:00Okay, so you want a shelf full of Charizards and Umbreon's, but you've seen what real vintage
00:04cards cost and yeah, that's a car payment. So I went digging through the proxy world,
00:09ordered a stack of these things, and found 5 sets that actually look good in a binder
00:13instead of like printer paper with a Pikachu on it. Quick heads up before we start, these are
00:19proxies, so they're for collecting in kitchen table games, not tournaments. Cool. Let's go.
00:26Starting with the Skyridge Holographic set, this one's the crowd favorite, almost 5,000 sold.
00:32You get Charizard, Pikachu, Mew EX, and a Jengar VMAX, and the foil on these is the real story.
00:39It's got that deep rainbow shift when you tilt it under a lamp,
00:42not the flat glittery look cheap proxies usually have.
00:47454. That's less than a coffee for cards that genuinely look like the real thing sleeved up.
00:53Next is the Mi Zero One Mega Evolution set, and this is the cheapest one on the list at 390.
00:59Mega Lucario, Gardevoir, Venusaur, Letia's X, and Lily's Determination.
01:05If you grew up with the Mega era, this hits hard. The cardstock is thicker than I expected for the
01:11price, it's got that snap when you flex it. Honestly, at under 4 bucks, this is the one I'd hand
01:17to someone who's never bought proxies before. Now the 1996 first edition classics.
01:24Mewtwoo, Garrido's, Alakasm, Dunup and that Neo Genesis foil style.
01:30448. This is pure nostalgia bait and I fell for it completely.
01:35Real first edition versions of these run into the hundreds, sometimes thousands.
01:40Ratings a hair lower at 4.5, and I think that's because the print's slightly warmer than the
01:45originals but framed on a wall? Nobody's telling the difference.
01:49The DIY Chinese classic singles are the sleeper pick here.
01:545 out of 5 stars, and that's rare.
01:57Sylvian, Leafeon, Umbreon, Spigatito, Pikachu, so basically every EVvolution people actually want.
02:05415. The reason this one scores perfect is the cut quality, corners are clean and even,
02:10which is exactly where budget proxies usually fall apart. If you're building an EVvolution
02:16page in your binder, start here. And closing it out, the 4-piece Pikachu holographic pack V,
02:22EX, VMAX, and GX. 413 for 4 cards, so you're basically paying a dollar each.
02:29This is the gift set. It's the one you grab for a kid's birthday, a stocking stuffer,
02:35or to fill out a Pikachu display without hunting individual singles. Simple, cheap,
02:40and the holopops way harder than the price suggests. Links to all 5 are down in the description,
02:47ranked in the order I covered them. If this saved you some money, hit that like button,
