So you're wondering about the bling on those shiny cards? The gold-plated Pokemon cards actually contain a very thin layer of real gold. We're talking about a 23-karat gold plating, but it's super thin. Basically, it's enough to make it look fancy and collectible, but you won't be able to retire on it. It's more about the cool factor and the nostalgia than the actual gold value.

Got one as a gift when I was younger. Can confirm, it's real gold, but it's so thin, you're not looking at much. Still pretty awesome to have in the collection though!

Honestly, not much. Yeah, they're 23-karat gold plated but the layer is thinner than a Pikachu's whisker. Don't plan on funding your trip to the Pokemon World Championships by melting one down, if you catch my drift.
