No Rarity Symbol Japanese Holo Meganium

Anyone seen one of these before?? I googled and seems like these are extremely rare cards to find, especially in a holo. I attached a picture I just snapped on my webcam, so sorry for the crappy quality. Any idea how to price this? I checked Ebay and couldn’t find any missing the rarity symbol, specifically.

I’m Sorry; I hate to burst your bubble with the bad news, but this card isn’t worth much at all - maybe a couple bucks…

It was released in Japan as apart of the Neo Genesis Promotion. The “set” features nine cards - three being holographic. You can purchase the complete set in New / Sealed Condition for around $10.00 all day long on eBay:

No worries…bubble not burst! lol I have no pre-conceived idea of how much any of these things go for…just got a hint from Google this card might be special and wanted to look into it! Thanks for the info :blush:

Where on google did it state that they are extremely rare to find?

I found a 2013 or '14 thread on Reddit and another thread on a forum I can’t recall the name of right now. None said Meganium specifically, but just the idea of a Japanese card not having the rarity symbol and it being holo made it “extremely rare” (quoting someone on one of those two places I mentioned).

It is a common misconception that every single pokemon card with no rarity symbol is extremely rare as there were many cards printed with no rarity symbols that are very common. The rare ones they were talking about are the first print of the original Base Set cards with no symbol because as far as we know those were only available for a couple weeks. The cards that were released in the gym decks or like your meganium in the neo premium folders are very common but also lack the rarity symbol so it is easy to confuse them as the “Extremely Rare No Rarity Cards” hope this helps I tired to explain the best I could!
