How Do I Know If I Have a Rare Pokemon Card?
To find out if you've got a rare Pokemon card, check the bottom right corner for a little symbol. A star means it's rare, a diamond is uncommon, and a circle means it's common. Also, look for holographic cards - those shiny ones are usually rarer and more valuable. Lastly, do a quick search online for your card’s name and set number; compare it with listings on eBay or dedicated Pokemon card sites to see how sought after it is!

Actually got a first edition Charizard once by checking the symbols and doing my research. Can confirm, this method works. Make sure to check if your card is part of a special set or has any misprints too - those can be super rare.
Hot take: Just because it shines, doesn't mean it's rare. Some holographic cards are pretty common. Real rarity is in the edition and the numbers, not just the bling.
