The Winner stamp was first used on cards from the {{TCG|Best of Game}} collection and were given to [[Professor Program (TCG)|Pokémon Professors]] and {{TCG|Tournament Organizer}}s of the BattleZone tournaments. The stamp itself is a gold foil "''winner''" in lowercase with a star for the point in "i".
*They later appeared again as prizes within the Pokémon League after [[Nintendo]] acquired the TCG license, this time from a variety of sets. The stamp was updated to match the stamp featured on {{TCG|Prerelease cards}}, with a Poké Ball symbol to the left of "WINNER".
*The Winner cards were eventually phased out when stamped cards for Premier Events were produced under the new system introduced by [[Pokémon Organized Play]].
===Trivia===
*It is possible that the idea of the Winner stamp was conceived from the {{TCG|"W" Promotional cards}}, which [[Wizards of the Coast|Wizards]] had produced early on in the TCG.


==Wizards Winner cards==
After [[Pokémon USA]] acquired the TCG license, winner variants of cards released through the Pokémon League were awarded during the 2003-2004 season under the [[Pokémon Organized Play]] Player Rewards scheme. The stamp was updated to match the stamp featured on {{TCG|Prerelease cards}}, with a Poké Ball symbol to the left of "WINNER".

Following the commencement of the 2004-2005 season, individual promotional cards were phased out in favor of POP packs, though variant cards with special stamps would still be released via Premier events.
