Overview

Call of Legends, released February 9, 2011, is the final HGSS-era set with 106 cards. Rather than introducing new mechanics, it served as a celebration and farewell to the era with reprints, shiny legendary Pokemon, and LEGEND pairs. The set featured some of the most beautiful holographic artwork in the HGSS series.

Best for

Gen IV collectors sorting reverse holos and early modern chases
collectors pricing Call of Legends (2011, 106 cards) as DP / Platinum era cardboard — not as generic “old cards”
people building around Lugia / Lugia LEGEND without pretending bulk pays the same

Skip this path if

you buy mixed “DP era” binders without sorting by set
you expect every card in Call of Legends to carry similar resale (bulk is bulk)

Common mistakes

If you only remember one thing about Call of Legends: Lugia / Lugia LEGEND is not interchangeable with every other print of those Pokemon. People still get burned by lumping every Diamond & Pearl–era set under one “DP” price sheet, then argue condition after they already overpaid. Confirm col1 / the set symbol before comps — “DP / Platinum era lot” language is how wrong products get mixed.

What to check first

Verify set membership (col1) and set symbol first — DP-era names get mangled in lots constantly. Condition pass on Lugia / Lugia LEGEND before negotiation. Finish with a checklist gap list so you are not “completing” only the bulk.

Step by step

How to Complete This Set

01

Identify Call of Legends cards by set code col1 / symbol — do not sort by art alone
02

03

Track Lugia and Lugia LEGEND as priority singles, not pack EV fantasies
04

Scan or checklist-gap the rest after the chase budget is honest

Scan with the app
