Celebi Gold Star – EX Crystal Guardians (2006) – BGS 8.5

Among the most enchanting and sought-after Pokémon cards of the EX era, Celebi Gold Star from EX Crystal Guardians (2006) stands out as one of the most iconic and evocative rarities of its time. This Italian edition, graded BGS 8.5, combines the mystical aura of the Time Travel Pokémon with the unique scarcity of European-language releases—now increasingly difficult to find on the international market.

Featuring artwork by Masakazu Fukuda, the card showcases shiny Celebi floating delicately in a luminous, dreamlike setting enriched by a vivid holographic finish. The Gold Star stamp, emblem of the rarest shiny Pokémon from the EX series, elevates the prestige and collector value of this already highly coveted piece.
Italian EX-era prints were produced in far lower quantities than their English or Japanese counterparts, giving this copy an added layer of rarity and desirability.

More than just a collectible, Celebi Gold Star represents a fragment of Pokémon TCG history—an era defined by artistic experimentation, bold designs and the birth of some of the franchise’s most legendary cards. Its BGS 8.5 grade reflects strong overall preservation, making it an impressive highlight for any EX-era or shiny-focused collection.
