Metagross Gold Star from Holon Research Tower 1st Edition Japanese Holo, card number 075, sitting in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s a beast in the Delta Species lineup. The artwork shows Metagross floating mid-air, all metallic and imposing with that shiny gold star border framing it like it’s ready to crush opponents. That pose just hits hard, doesn’t it? Like it’s calculating your next move before you even think it.
On the card text, it’s a Metal type with 100 HP. Ability is Super Connectivity, letting you search your deck for a Metal or Delta Species Pokémon once per turn and put it into your hand—handy for building up a quick army. Attacks include Hyper Beam at 50 damage, which flips a coin to potentially discard an Energy from the Defending Pokémon, and Metal Reburst that can dish out 70 if you discard two Metal Energies. Solid mechanics for a tank like Metagross, especially in those old-school Delta decks where type-shifting was the name of the game.
Holon Research Tower dropped in 2005 as part of the EX Delta Species expansion in Japan, and this 1st Edition printing stands out because it was the debut for these Gold Star variants over there. Japanese cards often have that crisp print quality, with holo patterns that pop under light without the English text clutter. It’s from an era when Gold Stars were chase cards, rare pulls that made opening packs feel like a gamble worth taking. Not many sets captured that experimental Delta vibe quite like this one, blending Pokémon with Holon energy themes.
In the slab, this PSA 10 means perfect 10s across the board—centering spot-on at 10, edges razor sharp, corners pristine, and surface flawless without a hint of whitening or scratches. Eye appeal is through the roof with that vibrant holo shine and deep colors holding up after all these years. From what I recall on pop reports, there are only about 4 known PSA 10s for this Japanese 1st Ed version, making it a real unicorn in collections. Slabs like this preserve the card’s condition so well, it’s like time-traveling back to the pack fresh days.
I’d display this front and center in my case, maybe next to some other Delta heavies for that thematic setup.
