Don't really know what my rarest card is, but I'll list some of the ones I think are rare:
Mew* delta, Shining Raichu, Shining Charizard, Imakuni?'s Doduo, Dance Neo* Imakuni?, Ooyama's Pikachu, Hama-chan's Slowking, Mewtwo Strikes Back (Jumbo), Pikachu-Clefairy-&-Jigglypuff (aka Jiggly Jumbo), Surfing Pikachu (reprint), Mew with Bubbles, Lilypad Mew...
I don't think there were non-holo editions of the holos in base set. :/I have the entire original Pokemon base set rares in holographic and non-holographic versions, perfect condition.
I don't think there were non-holo editions of the holos in base set. :/
Top half is a little rarer and worth more at the moment. :\ Between the people at my league, I think we've gotten 8 bottom halves and three top halves since the set has come out, most coming in the last couple weeks. I actually have two of the bottom half, and none of the top half.
Anyways, I think my candidates for my true rarest card are:
Machamp (base set)
Pidgeot (Jungle holo)
Kangaskhan (Jungle holo)
Mr. Mime (Jungle)
Hitmonchan (base set)
Gyarados (Base Set)
Charizard (base set)
Victreebel (Jungle holo)
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.
Are those rare? I think the Gym cards are far and far more rare, there aren't much gym cards nowadays, and the base machamp was in a deck!
I like this, Bush/Fossil and rocket have the same cards holofoil and rares
They are fairly rare when you consider that many of the original collectors were kids whose parents probably threw out the cards when they lost interest, and the fact that they aren't in print anymore. I also have a pretty even distribution of rares from the Gym sets and the Base Set, with most of the Gym set rare being from Gym Heroes.
And most modern sets have a separate group of rares and holofoil rares now.
Southern Islands collection
Nice, Ooyama's Pikachu! That's a vending machine series card, as is the Imakuni, how'd you get it? I'm working on my vending machine sets but it's tough, you can basically only find them on ebay and they aren't cheap. Dance!Neo*Imakuni? is something I NEVER see, that's quite impressive!
