Since 2004, a nine-card commemorative collection has been given to participating players at the start of the tournament. The collection consists of seven prints of Tropical Wind in English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, along with two special cards featuring a themed design of the current World Championships; one advertising the forthcoming World Championship Decks and one advertising the date and venue for the following World Championships (except at Worlds 2004, which had the [[Pokémon Organized Play|POP]] logo instead). Special stamped versions are also awarded to staff who helped oversee the event and to the top-ranking players in each division of the tournament. | Since 2004, a nine-card commemorative collection has been given to participating players at the start of the tournament.
