What are Pokémon Goldstar cards
Goldstar cards have a golden star right to their name.- All Golstars have a rule that says you can only have 1 Goldstar card in your deck.
- Goldstars are incredibly hard to pull from a booster pack with approximately 1 out of every 72 packs.
- Because of their age and hard pull rates they are incredibly expensive. For example the Charizard 100/101 sold in 2021 for a staggering amount of $25400
Gold Star Pokémon cards are highly sought-after collectibles in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. They are introduced during the EX era from 2004 to 2007.
These ultra-rare cards have a gold star emblem next to the Pokémon's name and feature alternate, shiny artwork of the featured creature. There are only a total of 27 Gold Star cards excluding newer throwback cards in sets like Celebrations that pay homage to them.
Their pull rates are very low, with only about one Gold Star card in every two booster boxes (Approximately 1/72 in each booster pack). These cards have more powerful abilities and increased HP than regular cards, making them desirable not only to collectors but also to players who want to be competitive.
Due to their increased power, players are limited to only a single Gold Star Pokémon in their decks. Because they are few and in high demand, Gold Star Pokémon cards can sell at a premium in the secondary market; some have sold for thousands of dollars in mint condition. Let's take a look at some of them:
