These are the 3 cards I have trouble deciding on and I plan to get at least 1 of these by Summer of 2025. Which would you pick and why?
I would pick that break you said you were going to take 
Too many expensive cards out there to get
Scroll because bling. 
Also happens to be the best looking card by far.
Which one do you like the most?
The first Art Academy card I bought was the Xime Pikachu because I simply loved the artwork; the rarity and history of Art Academy cards are just a bonus. I’m partial to that but I suspect you will get a lot of people saying the Master Scroll, which is obviously also a great choice.
Do you have a target price range?
My real answer would be Acerola knowing how much you love Waifus.
If I understand it correctly you’re interested in continuing your Art Academy collection? If it so, I would go with Xime Pikachu right away.
Not yet, but all these cards are between like $7-15k so somewhere in there.
Apart of me said this out of frustration for my Cynthia, but I don’t want to have a bad moment ruin my pokemon collecting journey.
I mean I always love a story behind a card so I would probably pick them in this order
1.Xime
2. Masterscroll
3. Acerola
Just choose what you like best and feel most comfortable with
Why collect if you dont care what you are collecting?
I like all 3, but can’t get em all 
Xime
Scroll is the best to look at IMO.
Put them in a wheel picker, and spin it.
I own all of these cards but a different Art Academy card. For your question, I would would ask in return:
“Which do you think will disappear from the market the fastest?”
I am bias in this answer, but I do put my money where my mouth is:
