The Pokémon Trading Card Game reaches a monumental milestone today with the worldwide launch of the highly anticipated 30th Celebration set. Marking the first time a Pokémon TCG expansion has received a simultaneous global release on September 16th, this milestone set brings fans and collectors together across the globe to honor three decades of the iconic franchise.
Guaranteed Foil Cards and Unique Pikachu’s
The 30th Celebration set is like no other Pokémon TCG expansion. With five cards per pack, every single card included is a foil/holo. Furthermore, every pack features a guaranteed brand-new Pikachu card. The expansion boasts 30 unique Pikachu cards in total, each adorned with a stunning, brand-new etched foil treatment that makes them an instant centerpiece for any collection.
The Classic Collection & Future Rares
A major highlight of the expansion is the 'Classic Collection' subset, which reprints iconic cards from throughout the game's storied history. Among these sought-after reprints is the legendary Crystal Lugia, originally introduced in 2003's Aquapolis set, which is already commanding prices in the hundreds of dollars on the secondary market.
The star of the set are the two 'future' rares, a Mew and Mewtwo card that look like nothing the TCG has ever seen before and potentially hints at what we can expect from future expansions. With its mix of nostalgic throwbacks, groundbreaking visual designs, and premium card treatments, the 30th Celebration set has absolutely everything a collector could possibly want.
