A '''Box Topper''' is a special card included inside sealed booster boxes as an incentive for buying an entire box of {{TCG|booster pack}}s. They were first introduced in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}, where they were oversized, reverse-holographic versions of a card from within the set. The first Box Toppers measured 126.5 x 90.0 mm, compared with Regular cards measuring 87.0 x 63.0 mm and {{TCG|Jumbo cards}} at 205.5 x 145.5 mm. Starting in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}, Box Toppers became Regular sized cards with a design unique to the set. These Regular size 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.
