How to Find Rare Pokemon Cards

For many trading card collectors, finding the rarest collectable cards is a rewarding experience reserved for those who really exert effort in their search. It’s like doing a treasure hunt – but for trading cards. This goes true for Pokemon card collectors!

So how do you know if what you have in your collection are rare Pokemon cards? Award-winning senior editor, producer for IGN and Pokemon expert, Joshua Yehl, has this tip…

“The black symbol in the bottom corner of a Pokemon card denotes its rarity: a circle is common, a diamond is uncommon, and a star is rare. Traditionally the star is black, but a card with a star of an alternate colour such as white or gold means it's ultra rare.”
