About the Series
The BW Black Star Promos run through the Black & White era. It is the first Black Star Promo series to pass 100 catalogued cards.
The series carries Pokémon-EX and a run of Team Plasma cards, both mechanics of the Black & White expansions running alongside it.
Numbering & Identification
Numbers run BW01 to BW101 with the era prefix printed on the card.
Every Black Star Promo carries a black star where an expansion symbol would normally sit. That mark is what gives the series its name.
How to identify one: the black star contains a BW-prefixed number, and there is no set symbol or denominator.
