"Gold Star" Pokémon cards are a special subset of cards that were introduced in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) during the EX Series era, which began in 2003. Gold Star cards are characterized by their unique design with a gold star symbol and a holographic foil background. These cards were considered extremely rare and sought after by collectors due to their limited distribution and striking appearance.
Gold Star cards were typically associated with legendary and powerful Pokémon, making them even more desirable to collectors and players. Some examples of Gold Star Pokémon cards include:
- Charizard Gold Star: This card features the iconic Fire-type Pokémon Charizard. It's one of the most famous and valuable Gold Star cards.
- Mewtwo Gold Star: Mewtwo is another popular Pokémon that received the Gold Star treatment.
- Rayquaza Gold Star: Rayquaza, a powerful Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon, also has a Gold Star card.
