Released in the 2004 Pokémon EX Team Rocket Returns expansion, this Torchic Gold Star #108 is graded CGC 4.5 (VG/EX+). Illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, the card features the shiny color variant of Torchic with character artwork extending outside the standard frame boundary. CGC population report data records 11 copies at this exact numeric grade. This is an investment-grade Pokémon card. EX Team Rocket Returns marked the historic debut of Gold Star cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing alternate-coloration shiny Pokémon paired with a strict printed deck restriction stating, "You can't have more than 1 Pokémon ☆ in your deck." Inserted at low odds during the mid-2000s EX era, Gold Stars represented the premier chase rarity of their generation. As one of the three original Hoenn starter Gold Stars alongside Treecko and Mudkip, card #108 occupies a central position in the set's legacy and mid-2000s TCG history.Show more
