*Before the use of the "PROMO" symbol on Promotional cards (first introduced in mid-2001), many of the unnumbered Promotional cards had unique symbols and stamps. Even though Japanese Promotional cards have adopted a numbering system for some time now, several cards are still released through tournaments that have no number or symbol. The most recent examples are the "Victory" Trainer cards acquired at Battle Road tournaments.

*This collection contains some of the rarest Pokémon cards in the world, as they were only available through exclusive events and limited to extremely small print runs. The honor of the rarest card in the world belongs to the Pikachu Illustrator. There are only '''six''' of these cards in existence and American collectors can expect to pay between $8000 and $10,000 for it.
