Overview

EX Legend Maker, released February 13, 2006, is a compact 93-card set that continued the Delta Species concept while adding mythical Pokemon. It features a treasure-hunt theme with mysterious artifacts and powerful Pokemon-ex.

Best for

  • People chasing popular EX holos who already know bulk is a different market
  • collectors pricing Legend Maker (2006, 93 cards) as EX-era cardboard — not as generic “old cards”
  • people building around Mew ex / Arcanine ex without pretending bulk pays the same

Skip this path if

  • you only want current SV SAR culture and will ignore EX-era checklist work
  • you expect every card in Legend Maker to carry similar resale (bulk is bulk)

Common mistakes

If you only remember one thing about Legend Maker: Mew ex / Arcanine ex is not interchangeable with every other print of those Pokemon. People still get burned by pricing a regular rare like the EX of the same Pokemon, then argue condition after they already overpaid. Confirm ex12 / the set symbol before comps — “EX-era lot” language is how wrong products get mixed.

What to check first

Verify set membership (ex12) and the collector number against the checklist — same character, different product. Condition pass on Mew ex / Arcanine ex before negotiation. Finish with a checklist gap list so you are not “completing” only the bulk.

Top of the chart

Most valuable cards

Mew ex (#88) and Arcanine ex (#83) are the top Pokemon-ex cards. Regirock Gold Star (#91) is the secret rare chase card. Banette ex and Dustox ex are solid mid-tier pulls. Regirock Gold Star sells for $200–$600 in near mint condition.

Tips to finish the set

At 93 cards, Legend Maker is one of the smallest EX-era sets, making it relatively easy to complete. The Regirock Gold Star is the primary budget hurdle. Delta Species variants continue to appear, tying it to the broader Holon narrative.
