File:Playsymbol.gifThe symbol for the PLAY Promotional cards is a stylised red "P".
Some cards are given upon subscription, through the course of the tournament, in special packs or by gaining a required amount of EXP Points. The latest cards obtained in this fashion are the Eeveelutions File:Shiningsymbol.gif, which are extremely difficult to obtain. Collectors can expect to pay $300+ for each of these cards.
