The EX Era's Final Chapter

Overview

EX Power Keepers, released February 2, 2007, is the final set of the EX era with 108 cards. It reprinted popular cards from Japanese sets not previously available in English and served as the swan song for the Pokemon-ex mechanic before the Diamond & Pearl era began.

Most valuable cards

Charizard holo (#6) is the top chase card as the final EX-era Charizard. Absol ex (#92) and Flygon ex (δ, #94) are the premium Pokemon-ex. Walrein ex and Salamence ex round out the valuable pulls. As the last EX set, sealed product has appreciated significantly.

Tips to finish the set

Power Keepers is a 108-card set with historical significance as the EX era closer. Cards are generally affordable outside of the chase holos and ex cards. Completing this set alongside the rest of the EX era is a major collecting milestone.

1. 01

   Identify Power Keepers cards by set code ex16 / symbol — do not sort by art alone

2. 02

   Split bulk commons/uncommons from holos and special rarities before pricing

3. 03

   Track Charizard. Absol ex and Flygon ex as priority singles, not pack EV fantasies

4. 04

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