Custom non-holographic proxy cards made for players and collectors who want to enjoy classic deckbuilding without chasing impossible prices. Every card is produced with a blank back, while still aiming to look as close as possible to the originals on the front.
I help players bring classic decks back to the table with carefully prepared, affordable retro proxies.
Faithful-looking retro fronts, intentionally blank backs, and no attempt to pass as genuine cards.
Every card in this gallery wouldn’t exist without the support of everyone who has ordered proxies. Thank you for helping bring these retro decks to life.

A lot of the work happens before a card is ever printed. I spend time rebuilding and refining artwork so each retro proxy looks clean, detailed, and true to the era.
Some classic cards were only released with a holographic finish. Simply printing an image of that foil pattern as a non-holo card can look distracting and unnatural. I carefully edit and reconstruct those card images so they translate into a clean, polished non-holographic print.
Many pre-2010 cards have few, if any, high-quality scans available. I spend considerable time in Photoshop cleaning up old scans, correcting colors, rebuilding fine details, and sharpening layouts to get the front as close as possible to the original card.
The goal is a faithful-looking card front for casual retro decks, while keeping every card clearly unofficial.

See how a completed proxy compares beside a genuine card. The images below highlight the standard card size, the measured thickness, and the grey core inside the cardstock.
A genuine card and a finished proxy shown side by side for a quick visual comparison of print size and overall presentation.
The blank back clearly distinguishes the proxy from a genuine Pokémon card while keeping the same card-size footprint.
A genuine card measured with digital calipers, showing a thickness of 0.3 mm.
The proxy cardstock also measures 0.3 mm, helping it feel close to a standard trading card in hand.
This torn sample highlights the grey core inside the cardstock—the middle layer that helps block light and gives the cards a more rigid, authentic-feeling snap.
