Full art, alt art and gold cards: which rarity is that?
«Full art» is not a rarity of its own. Full-art Pokémon and Trainer cards are printed as Ultra Rare; the painted, borderless scenes are Illustration Rare and, with a Pokémon ex, Special Illustration Rare. Gold cards are Hyper Rare; older rainbow-foil cards are Rainbow Rare. Open the rarity to see every card of that kind with today's price.
