About the Set
EX Holon Phantoms is set in the Holon region and continued the Delta Species theme, with many Pokémon carrying the δ symbol and an unexpected type.

Collecting & Where to Buy
EX Holon Phantoms is out of print and trades on the secondary market. Common singles are inexpensive, while the three Gold Star Pokémon — Mewtwo ★ especially — and Mew ex carry the strongest premiums.
Collector tip: the Gold Star Pokémon (102–104) are the prize — Mewtwo ★ leads them — so check the gold ★ and the shiny colouring for wear.
