Collection: Ancient Origins

About the Ancient Origins set

Ancient Origins released in August 2015 as the seventh main expansion in the XY era, sitting between Roaring Skies and BREAKthrough in the English release schedule. The set is built around 98 cards and leans heavily into Legendary Pokemon, with a particular focus on the Unova trio and a handful of fan favourite EX cards. Collectors tend to recognise this set for its strong Full Art line up and its compact size, which makes completing the master set a realistic project rather than a multi year grind.

Cards collectors chase

The pull list here is dense for such a small set. Lugia EX 94/98 remains the marquee Full Art and is the card most Australian collectors centre their Ancient Origins binder around. Hoopa EX 36/98 is the other headline EX, with strong demand from both players who remember its competitive run and collectors who favour the artwork. Beyond the EX line, Kyurem EX 86/98 in Full Art and the regular Kyurem EX 25/98 give buyers two finishes to choose from, while M Sceptile EX 8/98 rounds out the Mega Evolution highlight. Holo Rares like Volcarona 18/98, Entei 15/98, Gyarados 21/98 and Porygon-Z 67/98 are popular with set builders.

Rarity tiers and what to expect

You will find Holo Rares, Ultra Rare EX cards, Full Art EX cards and Mega EX cards across this listing. Every card is graded mint or better before it goes on the site, sleeved for protection, and posted from Brisbane with tracked Australia wide shipping.
