Collecting & Where to Buy
EX Deoxys is out of print and trades on the secondary market. Most singles are inexpensive, but the three Gold Star Pokémon — Rayquaza ★ especially — are among the most valuable cards of the EX era, and the nine Pokémon-ex hold solid value.
Collector tip: Gold Star Rayquaza (107/107) is the prize — verify the gold ★ and shiny colouring, and favour graded copies, since the finish shows wear easily.
