I was curious to know the value of the Explosive Birth Lugia card. I believe it is part of the 10th Anniversary collection. I tried to search older posts, but the last response was about 3 years ago. I'm also having trouble finding it on ebay. I'd appreciate any responses! Thank you!

I found these that have ended recently. I also personally sold one for $18 about 9 months ago. The price of this card has dropped since people can buy the entire 12 card set for around $50.
Just as an FYI, it is rather hard to search for these movie cards, as they have no set number. Some people don't mention that they are movie promos, so the easiest way is to just search like "Japanese Lugia," then just look through the pictures until you find your card.
Hope this helps :thumb:

Yes that helps greatly! I appreciate it! :thumb:

Just saw the second part of your post and yeah I've been finding it difficult to find one. I was able to find someone who is willing to trade it (not on here, but local) and I was curious to know it's value so I can build up some kind of offer. Thanks for the help! Hopefully I'll have the card soon!
LOL yeah in my effort to try to find it I also discovered the name of the card which is pretty awesome if you ask me!

Personally I would recommend that you just buy the whole set. They come in a rather nice binder, and will be guaranteed to be in Mint condition. Plus, if you don't like the other cards, most of the lesser ones sell for $5 a pop.
The main ones in the set (if you wind up being interested in it) are these:
Striking Back Mewtwo
Explosive Birth Lugia
Timeless Celebi
Tree of Beginning's Mew
Alto Mare's Latias
Alto Mare's Latios

Not sure how yours came, but here is how mine came. Darkrai has its own place in the binder, name and everything.
An 11 card set would not look nice in a binder, especially if there was an empty space.
-EDIT-
I did not buy this item, it was just one that I found that had a picture of the binder opened.
When you said Explosive birth lugia... I thought it was a new card where there's a baby lugia.. haha.

Mine came like this with a factory sealed Darkrai Promo loose.. In my collection, I kept the darkrai loose because I don't want to open the factory sealed to insert an opened darkrai promo. Collectors prefer the darkrai to be sealed

Huh, that's weird. Kinda wish mine has come sealed now, but at least it is in Mint condition.
Either way, going back to the OP; this set is pretty awesome. The Lugia is one of the most sought after from the set too; so if you can get your hands on it, by all means do :thumb:

All the cards in the set are in between
$5-15 in value.
If you need other questions answered just ask!
I tend to look into things such as the movie decks

Hey everybody thanks for the responses! I'm definitely considering getting the whole set as each card is awesome on it's own! But for right now I'm probably going to focus on the Lugia! I didn't realize it came with its own folder and everything so that's awesome! If I have any further questions regarding the set I'll definitely make sure to come to you, thanks!

The Darkrai did not come with the set, the set was released sealed with 11 cards, and you got the Darkrai by attending a cinema screening of the Darkrai movie.

Exactly.
What is really strange, is with all the cameo pokemon, such as Explosive Birth Lugia, that Darkrai is the only one without something in front of it's name.
I find it mildly intriguing, because in the following movie set, the Shaymin and Giratina both got names.

Same exact thing I said on post #13

Reread my post.

I elaborated on what you wrote.
In all the movie decks, the pokemon usually have something in front of their names.
Since darkrai wasn't actually a part of this set, it makes sense that it didn't have something in front.

Favorite thing about this card?
For years, people have argued whether or not the (gorgeously animated) attack Lugia uses on Lawrence's ship in the film's climax is Aeroblast or Hyper Beam. So which attack does this card based on that actual Lugia from the Movie have?
Both, it actually has both. :lol:
