Overview

EX Holon Phantoms, released May 3, 2006, features 111 cards continuing the Holon region Delta Species storyline. The set deepened the lore around electromagnetic anomalies transforming Pokemon types and is home to one of the most iconic Gold Star cards ever printed.

Best for

Collectors building early modern EX sets and learning reverse-holo rows
collectors pricing Holon Phantoms (2006, 111 cards) as EX-era cardboard — not as generic “old cards”
buyers who already know Mew ex / Crawdaunt ex is the expensive row in Holon Phantoms

Skip this path if

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

Common mistakes

The expensive mistake on Holon Phantoms is buying “EX era” bulk without sorting by exact expansion code. Set code ex13 (2006) is the membership test — character name alone will not save a bad buy. Budget Mew ex / Crawdaunt ex as priority singles; the other 109 cards are not the same project.

What to check first

Pull up Mew ex / Crawdaunt ex first — number, finish, and surface — then decide if the ask is real. Parallel check: EX vs non-EX, set symbol, and reverse holo status before comps. Only after that does the full Holon Phantoms checklist tell you what is left.

Most valuable cards

Pikachu Gold Star (#104) is the crown jewel — one of the most valuable and popular Gold Star cards in existence, selling for $2,000+ raw. Mew ex (#100) and Crawdaunt ex (#99) are top Pokemon-ex cards. Gyarados delta holo is an underrated gem.

Tips to finish the set

The Pikachu Gold Star is the main budget challenge. The rest of the 111-card set is moderately priced. Delta Species variants throughout the set make for interesting type-shifted collecting. Reverse holos add depth for completionists.
