Here's a simple framework for Scarlet & Violet era cards: Check the star colour first Black stars are lower value, silver stars are mid-tier, gold stars are premium Count the stars More stars generally means rarer, but colour trumps count Feel for texture Etched ridges indicate Ultra Rares, SIRs, Mega Attack Rares, or Hyper Rares If it has gold stars , it's a Hyper Rare the highest standard tier If it has pink/green stars , it's a Mega Attack Rare featuring Mega Pokmon ex If the artwork tells a story with gold stars , it's a Special Illustration Rare If it has no star at all but an opalescent, colour-shifting finish , it's a Futuristic Rare 30th Celebration's YOSHIROTTEN-illustrated debut tier A critical mistake many new collectors make is assuming all two-star cards are equal
