Pokémon Celebrations Ultra-Premium Collection — 25th Anniversary (English, Sealed)

The Ultra-Premium Collection produced for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Pokémon TCG is the flagship object of the Celebrations cycle, with Pikachu and Charizard sharing the cover and the concept of the entire release. The Celebrations set itself was built as a retrospective: it brought back some of the most recognisable Pokémon of every region and reintroduced historic card types such as Lv.X, Prime and Light & Dark in modern form, so the product reads as a journey through the whole history of the game rather than as a single expansion.

Inside the box, the element that defines it is a pair of solid metal commemorative cards depicting Pikachu and Charizard exactly as they appeared in the Base Set. Around them the collection adds a gold version of Pikachu V, a gold Poké Ball, an enamel pin featuring Charizard and Pikachu, an anniversary metal coin, seventeen Celebrations booster packs of four cards each, eight further booster packs from other sets, a guide to the mechanics of the game across its history, three storage boxes and a code for the online game.

This example is sealed and has never been opened, which is the condition in which the product is collected: the metal cards and the gold singles are the reason the box is kept intact rather than broken for its contents, and the Celebrations set was not reprinted.
