About 5ban Graphics
5ban Graphics is not a person but the in-house CG design team at Creatures, the company that develops the Pokémon TCG; the name nods to Creatures' former address in Tokyo's Gobanchō district. It is the most prolific credit in the modern game, spanning more than 1,000 cards since the Black & White era plus most Trainer designs and booster pack art. Its stated goal: make each Pokémon read as 3D and show off its best qualities.
Their most valuable card is M Charizard EX (#108/106, Flashfire), estimated at $1,300–$1,700. Cards are ordered by estimated market value.
