    Well... I don't really know if it is "rare" but I had an Ancient Mew. The only one in my community. I also had half a Birthday Pikachu... or maybe a quarter. It was basically only the picture.. no back.. no bottom.

    This is true. Holofoil rares were one set of cards, and a different set of cards were the rares, at least in the Base Set.

    I took some pictures to show what I mean :s

    Spoiler:


    See that Kangaskhan? It's holographic.

    This one isn't:

    Spoiler:


    That's what I mean by the "base set" - the first cards that came out (the first Pokemon cards of the first 150 Pokemon). I don't mean a box set you buy at the store xD

    I consider Jungle/Fossil/no Symbol as the "base set" :< maybe I got the terminology wrong, but now you know what I mean lol

    Here's my other guys:

    [Charizard [H]]

    Spoiler:


    [Shining Tyranitar [H; FE]]

    Spoiler:


    [Shining Raichu [H]]

    Spoiler:


    Uh... Yeah, I kind a had to use my webcam to take those pics lol

    The Worlds Staff Promos 04-09 are my rarest. From the regular sets, the most coveted I have are probably the 1st Edition Base Set Charizard, Charizard ex, and the Reverse Foil TV Reporter 88/97.

    I'm not entirely sure, I know you can get them on Ebay (which is where I got mine), but I don't know how many were printed. It's one of the prize cards from the Japanese Player's Club program, definitely not the rarest (the rarest at the moment goes for several thousand, nothing near what I payed for the Rayquaza), but it's kind of cool anyway.

    I have Entei star. (not sure what the difference is from a Shining Entei) And then of course there is my favorite card from my collection... Blaine's Arcanine. Thats from the ORIGINAL Gym Leader set. Meaning you can't play it without Blaine's Growlithe. ... Unlike the new set... (sigh) I also have Misty's Seadra, & Erika's Vileplume.

    Reverse Holo TV Reporter from the EX Dragon set. Insanely rare. Also have a Japanese Grand Party promo, which is absurdly hard to get, and 50+ top tier Lv.Xs and Primes, along with a handful of decent EXs, such as Wailord and Blastoise.

    Hmm, I'm trying to think of my old case in my room without actually getting up look at it. xD

    I'm going to go with... off the top of my head this really old Aerodactyl card. I got it when I was seven or so, so it's pretty old. Also it's holographic and has a star. :D

    I, uh ... I don't know. I don't think I have anything particularly rare. -_-;

    I have a crystal Lugia from like, Expedition.

    Crystal Lugia is actually a very valuable card, and it's from Aquapolis. The cheapest mint-condition one I've seen was selling for $40, and that's fairly low compared to what it usually sells for.

    I've seen those reverse holo TV Reporters on ebay, why are they so rare?
    I'm not 100% sure if this is right, but apparently there was an error in the distribution of TV Reporter compared to other reverse holos, therefore fewer were printed. I don't believe it was intentional.

    Anyway, I think the rarest card I own is the Victory Medal I won at Battle Roads yesterday. I guess my next rarest are my two Luxray GL lv. X's.

    Good to know. ^_^ I haven't looked at it in forever since it's not a super card game-wise.
