The 2004 Pokémon EX Team Rocket Returns Torchic Gold Star #108 is graded PSA 8 NM-MT. Illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, the card depicts the shiny variant of Torchic breaking the traditional artwork frame and includes the printed rule restriction stating 'You can't have more than 1 Pokémon ☆ in your deck.' PSA records a population of 269 examples at this grade. This is an investment-grade TCG asset.
Released in November 2004, EX Team Rocket Returns introduced the Gold Star rarity tier to the English Pokémon Trading Card Game. Torchic, alongside Treecko and Mudkip, formed the original trio of Gold Star cards that debuted the signature aesthetic of shiny Pokémon extending beyond the artwork border. Positioned as secret rares with restrictive pull rates during the EX Series era, these original Gold Star releases mark a pivotal milestone in the history of Pokémon card design.Show more
