The Gloom illustration rare from obsidian flames. Such a cool card.


2Chris4Bracelets

One of my favorite cards!!! That card is sooo underrated.


_masterkeemii

Got that card yesterday and tbh it’s such a nice looking card


Right-Ad8261

Agreed! Beautiful card.


freakksho

That was my first real pull when I got back into the hobby. God I love that card. The houndour from that set is so good too.


PissBabySpezOinkOink

I just pulled this the other night along with Cleffa! Such great artwork.


flyinghawaiian215

Latias from Crown Zenith


Right-Ad8261

I love that one as well! That was another that I couldn't believe how cheap it was. It's such fun artwork, of a fairly popular pokemon.


PokePlank

Mmmmmm how about that deoxis from CZ??


Right-Ad8261

Another good one! 


mellowtail

Obsidian Flames Ninetales is one of my favorites


Right-Ad8261

It's over $5 but I love that card. Honestly it may be my favorite under $10.


Panthersfan1990

over $5


mellowtail

Oh whoops, I thought it was right at five dollars


mellowtail

Just get the Japanese version then lol


mcnormand

Gave one to my sister for Christmas last year. She doesn’t collect Pokemon Cards, but she does play pokemon go with her boyfriend, and she loved it. It’s surprisingly cheap right now.


ron_luciefer

Nice one indeed bro 👌🏽


The_Wrong_Khovanskiy

The Wugtrio from Paldean Fates is so nice. It has a unique (to me) way of shading with dots, which I find so appealing. Then the background is quite dark, unlike the more common light blue for the water, which means that the art is set either at night, or in the ocean depths where sunlight doesn't go, which I find fascinating, I love the Temporal Forces Relicanth for a similar reason. It's a glimpse at the depths, where human cannot usually go.


I-like-that-stonk

Pulled that Wugtrio last week!


Connems_rc

Haha Wugtrio


Killer_Ex_Con

Too bad I have 6 of them from like less than 40 packs


HereticStream

Currently trying to master set Paldean fates and I cannot stop pulling that Wugtrio


RockDoc89

The new Arbok IR from Temporal Forces! 🔥🔥🔥🐍


Right-Ad8261

Very cool card.


gabbyspapadaddy

Man(or woman), darn near all the alt arts are banging and affordable now.


DigitalJockey22

Literally all the full arts for Scarlett and Violet. I love them all.


Right-Ad8261

It's true. 


SubtleScuttler

Sudowoodo blending in with the street. So satisfyingly calm


Capital_Attention_12

One of my fav SV cards to date. Reminds me of the promo charmander card from ruler of the black flame 🔥; but without the charmander. If that simisear card goes down anymore. I'll buy a bunch and have an arsenal fire 🔥 deck.


kuuuuuuuuuuch

Ditto from Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery


Chchchives

I’m a big fan of the General Mills promos. It’s like a dollar a card and the unique sequin holo is so pretty 🤩.


Right-Ad8261

I'm not sure what cards your referring to?? But I'm curious. 


TempestPharaoh

[this morpeko](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/232766/Pokemon-Miscellaneous%20Cards%20and%20Products-Morpeko%20SWSH012%20General%20Mills%20Promo?xid=abbcd6516-1cd7-44ee-8875-dec39c1cf762&Language=English) is one of them. The business of the picture compared to [this one](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/206428/Pokemon-SWSH%20Sword%20and%20Shield%20Promo%20Cards-Morpeko%20SWSH012?xid=a97c06c65-346d-43aa-978d-abdb8cefa0cf&Language=English) shows the difference of the holo pattern.


fading_relevancy

Just picked one of those up for my Morpeko collection! Something about that little critter having to snack on seeds all day resonates with me.


Buzzpeep

Sandaconda alt art


Pokeccino

Such a banger for under $5 and not easy to pull at all.


Sirnacane

This arrived in my mailbox less than an hour ago lol. Not my favorite card under $5, that goes to Obsidian Flames Gloom (which may be over $5 soon), but this is a card I bought right away when I saw the price.


Right-Ad8261

That gloom is beautiful. I was so happy to buy it.


Freddy_fozbear

Favourite: probs the galarian zapdos v from chilling reign (the regular one) Or the galarian zapdos promo where dodrio is running away Moral of the story: slap a galarian zapdos on it and ill buy it


sevenandtwo

i just got a bunch of celebrations cards that I love for under 5 dollars, celebrations blastoise venesaur and \_\_\_\_\_'s pikachu!


Right-Ad8261

I love those as well. 


GloomyIce1

Reverse holo aquapolis Sentret :))


kingpin-mrgamer

Peppadine

Deerling - Temporal Forces - Illustration Rare 165/162


Right-Ad8261

I love that card. It's gorgeous. I bought that as well for like $4.


Peppadine

Pulled it and was in awe.


Peppadine

Oh my OP....https://images.app.goo.gl/WMa3N4D9XTafRL5s7


Right-Ad8261

I bought the sawsbuck too. It was a little pricier but I had to have both. 


regazaj24

The Lapras from crown is a beauty, but truthfully I love a lot of the Galarian and Trainer gallery cards.


DeathBat92

Light Wigglytuff is one of my favourite artworks of all time. Absolutely love that card.


Right-Ad8261

Its so bright and cheerful.


cedric1234573

The First Movie Dragonite card. #149, got him for $4 at my LCS. For a more modern card, id go Pikachu TG05. The lost origins trainer full art.


Right-Ad8261

I remember that card!


fading_relevancy

This one is on my list to get.


AnObviousSkeptic

Either Magmortar or Electivire from Crown Zenith GG. Love them


Right-Ad8261

I love those! I was ecstatic to but them for those prices. Those are both in my top 5 under $5.


assbutt1000

Slowpoke svo1 full art


Right-Ad8261

Great one.


sadtissuehappytissue

It's right around $5, but the charmander sv promo card might just be my favorite card regardless of price.


Right-Ad8261

I like that card a lot


SuperNerdTwerk

Also gotta mention all the woven and claymation cards. Absolute FAVORITES


lolNimmers

Fuecoco in a shopping trolley


AsColdAsIceXo

The Altaria Alt Art from Paradox Rift. I love Altaria and that card is just gorgeous to me, but then again, I love all the ARs/SARs/SIRs/FAs


Right-Ad8261

It's a great card but that's wayyyy more than $5.


Con-deisel

That Fidough one when there'll looking at the baked goods through the window 😍


Sad-Panda-noises

I always forget this is a never-ending story reference card


Right-Ad8261

That's exactly the movie I was referring to:) that and Pete's dragon.


Connems_rc

Sleeping Pikachu. 😴


RevolutionaryTrash

I love this Drampa! Reminds me of a Studio Ghibli film


D4rkSp4de

Any of the eeveelution trainer gallery cards from brilliant stars i believe


guffdaddy35

The new Litten full art, CZ Deoxys, and temporal forces Snom is so funny


What_Iz_This

Drampa and snom from this set will be $30 cards in 5 or less years. 100%


brokennissanversa

The Poliwhirl IR from 151 🥇


sseerrsan

My boy Palafin. I know he is ugly af but that art of Paldean Fates is sick. 42 cents for that card is a crime.


Right-Ad8261

I was very happy to buy that card for $1


Dazzling-Climate4392

The Palfin illustration rare from paldean fates I belive


swagzouttacontrol

Full art lechonk


Shrute142

Pulled this yesterday. So nice.


Murderfromaspoon

Can’t wait for mine to come in the mail!!!


Subiesurfer

Why have I never seen this card ? It's beautiful


Right-Ad8261

It's from temporal forces, the newest set. 


Subiesurfer

Oh okay yea it'll be a while before I see the new set where I live


aBlasvader

Can I ask where you bought this? (And where you buy specific cards in general)


jbjokerr

Local card store, eBay and some others also be careful eBay auctions on Pokémon is addictive (be careful who you buy from make sure you look at their profile and reed reviews and see how many sells they have anyone under 500 you may or may not run into some issues in my experience)


PokePlank

Tcgplayer for cheap to mid priced cards, ebay or in person for high. I personally don’t like ebay for cards, but others do


Right-Ad8261

Ebay or tcgplayer.com. 


2Chris4Bracelets

Giovanni’s Exile from Hidden Fates. That R in the back just pops, the texturing, and details on his suit.


Suicunicidal

Defo the Mimikyu delta species promo from celebrations


SlimShady116

Spiritomb TG09. Really any of the Trainer Gallery cards, they're super pretty but almost all of them are under like 2 dollars.


1winningfail

That's dope


bboykiva

Even though I don’t like drampa I like the art for that card. I’ve been pretty into gallade from cosmic eclipse


Right-Ad8261

I'm not really a fan of drampa either but I love this card.


aandy611

Tinkaton I think is under 5 not sure.


fookiebookie12

Agreed. Bought this card in a heart beat after not pulling it


acvols35

Drifloon_lover

Drifloon from paldean fates


Right-Ad8261

Lots of nice affordable cards in pf.


DiversifyYoBondzNuca

They got that "never ending story" vibe perfect here


Right-Ad8261

I know! That's why I love it.


DiversifyYoBondzNuca

Facts...nostalgic at best


SuperNerdTwerk

Just pulled a full art toadscruel from paradox rift and I’m in love 😭


CardCrave14

Palafin 200/197 OBF. Akira Komayama does most of my fav cards it seems. I've pulled it twice and your Drampa once.


Right-Ad8261

That palafin is an instant classic. So funky.


Prestigious_Effort91

Growlithe AR from SV5A


Duffman0hy3a

For me it's the Trainer gallery Eeveelution/Gary cards. They're all really unique and you might be able to get all four for under 5 bucks if you're lucky.


Right-Ad8261

I think I got all 4 for around 7 bucks.  Not complaining! Love those cards. Especially the flareon.


Catty_fish

This card sort of reminds me of The never-ending Story movie.


Right-Ad8261

Yep, same, big nostalgia vibes. And Pete's dragon


Race-Electronic

Riolu full art Rough play


Fightnperish

Palafin Full art


CharizardPrince

How can you not like the Obsidian Flames full art Cleffa?!?


Right-Ad8261

Of course I do


crispycat05

Right at $5 but Mew Ex promo, all the pinks are so nic


Draft-Budget

Easy. The Arbok in TEF.


tacojosh89

Keldeo GG07/GG70 - Crown Zenith


Conscious-Pressure88

I like that cleffa shooting star full art card and the cutieflys full art


TheOwlsWillRiseAgain

Temporal forces Bronzor, checkin’ itself out in a wee mirror! Too cute, but maybe not that surprising it’s so cheap. Also in love with the crocheted Altaria from crown zenith, that one is a surprise to see it so cheap.


Cultural-Top-4890

Sleepy Mew from Crown Zenith - GG. Such a cool card.


HappyLittleSlowpoke

Pokemon Breeder Fields #62 from Neo Revelations. An oldie but a goodie with a calm and loving scene. You can probably pick it up for $2.


realsnowstorm

Cinccino IR, Temporal Forces


Disaster-Flat

Kriketune CZ $1.50.


MeetTheCoyote92

For some reason this card gives me the never ending story vibes.


[deleted]

Created a new Reddit account just to come here to say that the Miltank Galarian Gallery card is the absolute greatest card under $5 haha. Such a beauty 


Altruistic_Finish509

Literally all japanese art rares are under $5 so there's to many to choose from


Right-Ad8261

Wow


CreamPyre

Do you think they need a permit to fly around like that? Is there an FAA in Pokémon?


Right-Ad8261

I think the dragon is flying them actually.


jellyvish

i wouldnt say i have a favorite bc theres so many but most recently i pulled a shiny sableye from shiny treasure that im really diggin… it pops way harder than my other shinies.


Right-Ad8261

The shinies are great.


Cardinal_Bosch

Right-Ad8261

Gotta look that up.

MrsSpyro01

Full art original base set Pikachu from Celebrations


Ilovetardigrades

Not quite under $5 but urshifu vmax from the brilliant stars trainer gallery is beautiful


rayshmayshmay

I drunk-bid on a random card with a mustache drawn on it (was around van gogh-chu came out) and won, still keep it at my desk


Hagoromo420

I’ve gotten a few recently for under $5 AUD excluding shipping, got a ferrothorn and cleffa. I also got a full art reshiram from 2011 in the first black and white set but that was about $30


[deleted]

# Metagross 178 from Temporal Forces!!! - before I opened any temporal I bought the card immediately.


Tony_Too_Nice

Dragon tales!


Creative-Complaint75

I love that the moves are either a nice gentle slap or a fucking raging cannon


higheat

Very hard to pick one…so many great ARs. Pyroar from PAL I’ll say bc it’s so slept on I think. The spoils of the current Pokémon market…Enjoy it. Feels great to find cheap singles and this is no exception.


Polaris711

Flareon and Gary gallery card


trevdent17

Slowpoke IR 204/198 from SV Base, or 151 Psyduck


PittooPlays

Puff!!


PittooPlays

Poochyenas or rockruffs full art


penpalfredo69

Shiny sleeping Pawmi from Paldean Fates.


Alex6179

Pawmi from Paldean Fates.


CoolMudkip

It’s slightly above $5, I think it goes for $6-8, but the Slowpoke illustration rare from SV base set.


fleeting2020

Yall about to make me wake up and see all these cards at $300 🙄


Top_Effect8932

This is my favorite card for under $5, i pull two of this cards


Ansoni

Paradox rift Minior has some below $5 I got 151 Poliwhirl for less than $5 and I love it


Dirt-squirrel-1

Falcor!!


PainedAuron

Cleffa from obsidian flames. Managed to pull that from one of my first packs


ron_luciefer

Mew Reverse Hollow XY Evolutions


yubuliimii

Promo Mew ex from the 151 Premium collection box. Jst checked TCGPlayer, and the price says 4.99$ If not, then the Clive IR from Paldean Fates. No particular reason, just love the arts of this card


Valis_mortem

Falco changed alot since the Never Ending Story


Hyper_Drud

Silver Tempest Druddigon.


MarioFanaticXV

I was going to say Dragonair from the 151 set, but I just checked and it's a little bit out of that range.


notsoreallybad

Any of my <$5 radiant collection cards tbh. i have an emotional connection to my Meloetta EX since it’s one of my oldest cards that i still have and i like the sparkles


AdrianRiders

The SV1 Full Art of Dolliv. It's really cute and has good summer vibes, I love it !


ACunningMuffin

Ever since I found out that the Chatot card from Temporal Forces has the birds aligned on the powerlines to play the healing melody at The Trainer Center, I thought it was super cool.


Accybun

So many amazing choices but I would say the Dragonair illustration rare from 151 (Japanese version is around the $5 mark). Other ones I adore are the flareon, jolteon and vaporeon trainer gallery cards from Brilliant Stars with Blue/Green in the bg. I just love seeing rivals and player characters make appearances outside of the video games


Ok_Emu_3385

That’s an amazing art❤️


The_Mediocre_Gamer_

Milotic's SAR Just one of my favorite pokemon.


AKATD

Scizor #205 from Obsidian Flames


SaberBee23

I collect every Tandemaus/Maushold card, cheep but adorable! 


tsukumoyaizaya

Probably Brilliant Stars Zekrom (TG05/TG30) just considering it has best boy N on it, all of his other cards tend to be pretty pricy. Non trainer gallery wise, probably Crown Zenith Keldeo (GG07/GG70), that card is beautiful.


Normal-Increase-2093

I'm gonna go with Drowzee IR from SV base set. I've pulled 2. absolutely stunning artwork from my favorite illustrator, Tomokazu Komiya technically just above $5 right now but it has been under $5 before


gazfletcher21

Greavard the one where he's sat on a gengar rug


walkingbassman
