Retro card (TCG)
A retro card is a term used to refer to special reprints of cards from the early years of the Pokémon TCG which have been included as secret cards in the recently-released Stormfront, Platinum, and Bonds to the End of Time expansions.
Common among them is their origin in the earliest sets of the TCG: so far, all those which have been printed are from Base Set and Jungle or are promotional cards from the first three years of the TCG's existence.
A special feature specific to these cards is their use of a gold-colored border and evolution box design, a striking contrast to other cards of the current era, which use silver-colored borders. This is, of course, a reference to the card design of the early expansions.
The art on these special re-releases is done by the same artist who did the original art, in a slightly updated manner.
