This refers to a specific subset of collectible trading cards featuring a popular Pokmon character in a highly sought-after form. This combination typically denotes cards released to commemorate specific events or anniversaries within the Pokmon franchise. These cards are identifiable by a distinctive gold star marking next to the Pokmon’s name, signifying their rarity and collectibility. For example, a Greninja card with this designation could be released during a significant Pokmon TCG milestone.
The significance of these cards lies in their limited availability and aesthetic appeal. They often hold substantial value within the collector community due to their scarcity and the popularity of the featured Pokmon. Historically, these special releases have generated considerable interest, driving both demand and prices in the secondary market. The distinctive visual design, combined with the inherent collectibility of the Pokmon TCG, makes them highly desirable items.
