Rare

Rare cards carry a single star symbol. In the vintage Wizards of the Coast sets, each rare came as a holo rare or a regular rare, and the holo rares of Base Set and Jungle, such as Charizard, Blastoise and Snorlax, are among the most collected cards in the hobby.

From Scarlet & Violet onwards, the black star marks the Rare slot in each set. Cards above it use their own symbols, such as two stars for Double Rare and gold stars for Illustration Rare and higher, so a single star now marks the bottom of the rare ladder.

This list covers every English card with the Rare symbol in the catalog, from 1999 to today. Filter by series to compare eras, or sort by price to see which Rares are worth the most.
