Pokémon Latios Gold Star — EX Deoxys (Japan, 2004) PSA 10

Among the most recognisable Gold Stars of the EX era, this Japanese Latios Gold Star from EX Deoxys (2004) is certified PSA 10 GEM MINT—the highest grade and a notably difficult standard to achieve on mid-2000s holo cards, where print sensitivity and edge wear often limit top-pop outcomes. Masakazu Fukuda’s artwork captures Latios in its coveted shiny form against a starfield, a clean, iconic composition that has come to define the prestige of Gold Star collecting.

Japanese Gold Stars are widely pursued for their comparatively scarcer availability and renowned print quality, making this example especially compelling for collectors building museum-grade PSA registries, focusing on Shiny Pokémon, or assembling a complete Gold Star run. Presented in a PSA holder that anchors authenticity and long-term preservation, it also stands as a natural counterpart to Latias Gold Star—an acquisition with clear cultural relevance within the hobby and enduring demand at the top end of condition.
