Presented as a foundational holding from the 2004 EX Team Rocket Returns expansion, this binder offers the base set in its entirety, 95 of 95 cards, accompanied by three of the set's scarcest Rocket's ex issues: Rocket's Hitmonchan ex (#98), Rocket's Sneasel ex (#103), and Rocket's Suicune ex (#105). The offering is further distinguished by substantial reverse holo and stamped parallel representation throughout the run, a meaningful consideration for any collector or investor pursuing depth beyond the base configuration.
EX Team Rocket Returns has established itself as one of the most consequential sets of the modern vintage era. The expansion's Dark Pokémon reimagining, its Rocket's ex subset, and its position as the home of three of the hobby's most sought-after Gold Star cards have combined to drive sustained, long-term appreciation across nearly every rarity tier within the set. Population reports for sealed and high-grade product continue to contract year over year, and the secondary market for EX-era singles has demonstrated remarkable resilience even through broader market corrections.
Holdings of this caliber, assembled at this level of completeness, rarely surface at auction intact. The combination of a fully realized base set, three of the eleven Rocket's ex, and meaningful parallel depth positions this lot as a turnkey acquisition for the advanced collector or as a strategic foundation for the investor seeking exposure to a set whose remaining chase cards, the eight outstanding Rocket's ex and the Gold Star trio, can be pursued selectively over time as market conditions warrant.
An opportunity befitting a serious collection.
One of dozens of deeply curated, phenomenal Pokémon lots up for auction this week. A must have for any serious Pokémon collector or investor.
