Air Balloon 213/202

Air Balloon is an item Trainer card numbered 213/202 from the Sword and Shield Base Set. Because the first number runs past the set total, this is a Secret Rare, presented in the Gold finish that the set reserved for its final, hardest to find cards.

The Gold Secret Rare treatment gives the whole card a metallic gold styling, a look that has become a favourite among collectors who enjoy chasing the top end of a set. As an item card, Air Balloon is a support tool used during play rather than a Pokemon, and seeing a practical card elevated to the Gold Secret Rare tier is part of what makes these versions appealing. The Sword and Shield Base Set marked the start of a new era for the game, which adds to the interest in its secret rares.

A Gold Secret Rare Air Balloon is a natural pick for collectors building a complete Sword and Shield Base Set or a binder of gold cards.
