Pokémon TCG XY Evolutions — 25 Sealed Art Sets (100 Booster Packs, Italian)

Twenty-five sealed art sets from XY Evolutions, one hundred booster packs in total, in Italian. Released in 2016 as a deliberate return to the 1999 Base Set, the expansion reproduced some of the most recognisable artwork in Pokémon history and re-rendered it with modern colour and a renewed holographic finish.

Each art set gathers the four original booster artworks — Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise and Raichu — which is precisely what gives the lot its shape: twenty-five complete repetitions of the base quartet rather than a mixed accumulation of packs. The Italian sealed printing is the more sought-after of the two main language editions, distributed in smaller numbers than the English one and largely opened since.

For a collection built on nostalgia with a fixed structural logic, complete art sets in this quantity are the form in which the set is usually wanted and rarely found.
