Sandstorm checklist

EX Sandstorm blew in during late 2003 as the second set of the EX era, taking a desert-and-fossil theme and running with it. It followed hot on the heels of the first EX set, expanding the new Pokémon-ex mechanic with a fresh batch of powerful cards — the likes of Aggron ex, Gardevoir ex and Kabutops ex leading the way. It's an early, foundational EX set: not the flashiest of the era, but a solid, characterful one with some lovely Hoenn favourites. See how much of it you've tracked down below.
