A '''Box Topper''' is a special card included inside sealed booster boxes as an incentive for buying an entire box of [[booster pack]]s. They were first introduced in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}, where they were oversized, reverse-holographic versions of cards within the set. Starting in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}, box toppers became standard size, and not copied from other cards within their set. These standard size box toppers (along with the secret insert cards, such as {{TCG ID|EX Unseen Forces|Celebi ex|117}} in {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}}) have a set number which exceeds the size of the set (e.g. "98/97") and always have a {{rar|Rare Holo}} rarity. The inclusion of box toppers ceased after the release of {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}, with some of the booster pack boxes containing a figurine of a Pokémon instead. | A '''Box Topper''' is a special card included inside sealed booster boxes as an incentive for buying an entire box of [[booster pack]]s.
