Rayquaza Market Liquidity & Authentication Protocol

Rayquaza is the flagship Dragon-type collectible of the Pokémon TCG. Its EX Deoxys Gold Star (#107/107) illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda is widely considered one of the three most desirable cards of the entire 2003–2007 EX Era, while its Evolving Skies #218/203 and Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery #TG20 remain liquid modern staples.

10x Loupe Authentication Checkpoint

On EX Deoxys Rayquaza Gold Star #107/107, the outer card border uses a thin silver metallic foil layer that reflects a subtle rainbow sheen at a 45-degree angle; counterfeit copies have flat grey ink borders.

PSA / BGS Grading Strategy Note

Silver border flaking on 2004–2006 EX-era Rayquaza cards automatically drops a copy to PSA 7 or PSA 8 even if centering is 50/50.
