I guarantee theres already been a thread on this, and mods can feel free to move this discussion there, but I was just curious on the rarest cards. Now, I know the exact distribution of certain cards is disputed, but from the collective knowledge of the community, what are the rarest cards in the hobby? Obviously, the trophy cards are going to take the majority of the spotlight, but as far as my knowledge goes, the MATCHPRINT set is the rarest, with many of the cards only being two in the world. However, do these really count as part of the TCG? The same can be said for the TMB phone cards and such, so i just want to hear people’s opinions. Now, I dont count the personalized trophy cards, as one could argue any of the personalized cards, like the \_\_\_\_\_'s Pikachu birthday card, could then be unique and one-of-a-kind. My definition goes on unique artwork, which includes stamp variants. This includes cards like the Battle Stadium Deoxys, or the Battle Festival variants of trophy cards. I know the trophies like the '97,'98, etc. are different years and have slightly different texts, but they still feel like they are grouped together, just like the other recycled arts for trophy cards on their respective years. Thats just my opinion, so I would love to hear what other people have to say and think about the subject! Id also like to see what people think are the most difficult cards to acquire, regardless of distribution numbers, like the SNAP cards and such. --- _[View the full topic](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/rarest-cards-in-the-hobby/17800)._
