I’ve been looking around ebay and other sites for Red/Green Japanese Gift Set cards and I noticed that only a very small amount of them I’ve come across actually have a rarity symbol (like 1 or 2% of them). I recently bought a Haunter from the set, and it has an uncommon symbol. I didn’t even notice it had the symbol until after I bought it. Is it a good or bad thing that it has a rarity symbol, and how much does it affect the value?
You actually didn’t buy a Haunter from the Red/Green Gift Set, you bought one from Vending Series 3!
The Red/Green Gift Set is all Vending Series reprints but they do not have rarity symbols and are non-glossy. So the “no rarity” ones are from the gift set and the “rarity” ones are all vending. The reason you’re seeing so few with rarity symbols is because they’re probably being misidentified in the listing.
