Overview

EX Dragon, released November 24, 2003, is the first set to heavily feature Dragon-type Pokemon in the EX era. With 100 cards, it introduced Rayquaza, Latios, and Latias to the TCG as Pokemon-ex, establishing Dragon as a dominant force in competitive play.

Best for

Collectors building early modern EX sets and learning reverse-holo rows
collectors pricing Dragon (2003, 100 cards) as EX-era cardboard — not as generic “old cards”
anyone specifically hunting Rayquaza ex / Latios ex and needing the rest of the set for context

Skip this path if

you treat every EX as equal liquidity across expansions
you expect every card in Dragon to carry similar resale (bulk is bulk)

Common mistakes

Collectors mishandle Dragon by ignoring delta between stamped promos, EX holos, and later reprints. Rayquaza ex / Latios ex still does most of the economic work inside a 100-card list — do not price bulk like hits. Listings labeled only “EX-era” are not a SKU: match set code ex3 (2003) before you match the art.

What to check first

Start with surface scratches on large EX foils; they grade and sell differently. Then inspect Rayquaza ex / Latios ex under real light before anyone says “NM” or grade. Gap the rest with the Dragon checklist; sealed product does not replace the expensive row.
