PRISTINE CGC 10 M RAYQUAZA EX 76 CELEBRATIONS CLASSIC COLLECT. POKEMON

Price: $399.99

Rayquaza EX from the Celebrations set, ultra rare, sitting pretty in a CGC 10 slab. This one’s a beast of a card, no doubt about it.

That artwork? Rayquaza coiled up in the sky, all emerald green and fierce, with those red accents popping against the stormy background. It’s got that dynamic energy, like it’s about to unleash chaos mid-flight. Hits different every time you glance at it.

On the text side, it’s a Dragon-type with 180 HP. Ability is Celestial Roar—discard the top three from your deck, attach any basic Energy you find to this Pokémon. Attacks include Dragon Burst for 60 times the Energy discarded (up to a big multiplier if you play it right). Solid setup for some explosive plays, especially in Expanded formats where EX cards still hold their own.

Celebrations dropped in 2021 as part of Pokémon’s 25th anniversary bash, reprinting fan-favorite cards from across the TCG’s history. This Rayquaza EX is a nod to its original printing in Dragons Exalted back in 2012, but with that special Celebrations stamp and holo treatment. What stands out here is how it captures the essence of the Black & White era—those massive EX Pokémon that changed the game, blending nostalgia with modern appeal. Not every set pulls off reprints this clean, but Celebrations nailed it by keeping the classic feel while making them accessible again.

Slab-wise, CGC 10 means pristine condition across the board—edges sharp as a Tackle attack, surface flawless without a hint of wear, and centering that lines up just right for maximum eye appeal. The label calls it out as Pristine, which fits this card’s vibe perfectly. Pop reports are tough to pin down exactly, but from what I’ve seen in collector circles, CGC 10s for this one aren’t flooding the scene; estimates put it under a couple hundred total, making a clean example like this a solid find for dragon-type fans.

I’d stash this in a display case next to some vintage EX cards, just to watch it glow under the lights.
