There could be cards hiding in your collections that are worth thousands of dollars! Valuable Pokemon cards are released every year. To keep up to date with all Pokemon TCG Celebrations information and more 25th Anniversary news, follow Ludkins Media on Instagram and Facebook.It’s not just the 1st Edition Base set cards that are worth big money. Whilst the cards themselves will never compete with the originals, having artwork of the classics in a more accessible 2021 reprint is a massive selling point to October’s set. With new Gold Stars announced alongside the Pokemon TCG: Celebrations reveal, the hope for many to finally own some kind of Gold Star Pokemon card looks set to end. To originally receive a Japanese Eeveelution, players would need to attend weekly events to rack up points that could be exchanged for promotional cards, five of which were the highly sought-after Gold Stars. This fantastic tracker by Admiral on Elite Fourum shows the most recent prices for all Gold Stars.

Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon would later be reprinted in Japan although Umbreon and Espeon did not. The Japanese versions of the Eeveelutions (Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Espeon, and Umbreon) are the hardest cards to obtain due to their release as tiered prize cards to members of the Pokemon Players Club in Japan. Taking into account that sealed booster boxes of the EX era of Pokemon currently sell for tens of thousands of dollars it’s no wonder Gold Stars are so expensive to obtain.Īfter the highs of Pokemon TCG’s boom over the last year, Gold Star Rayquaza in a PSA 10 now sells for over $40,000, and just last month a BGS 9.5 Japanese Umbreon Gold Star sold for $70,000 on PWCC Auctions. Gold Stars are incredibly rare, with a pull rate (depending on the set) of one Gold Star every two booster boxes.
