Metal cards (TCG)

In October 2021, with the release of the Celebrations Ultra-Premium Collection, metal cards were introduced. This Collection contained two metal cards; a replica of Base set Charizard, and the other was a Base set Pikachu replica. The faces of the cards are colored gold, while the backs are blue and yellow. The second set of metal cards to be officially manufactured came out in November 2022; the Arceus VSTAR Ultra-Premium Collection contained two metal cards, one Arceus V and one Arceus VSTAR. Unlike the Celebrations metal cards, these were made in full color. Another metal card came out in October 2023; the 151 Ultra-Premium Collection contained Mew ex. As far as official metal cards being distributed by The Pokémon Company International (TPCI), only five have ever been produced.

Metal cards should not be confused with the 23 karat gold cards distributed by Burger King in 1999.
