About HeartGold Collection

What HeartGold Collection is

HeartGold Collection is one half of the first expansion block of the LEGEND era in Japan, released on October 9, 2009 alongside SoulSilver Collection. It has 70 numbered cards plus one secret, the Alph Lithograph, for 71 in total. The block returned to Generation II Pokémon and introduced two new card classes: Pokémon Prime, stronger versions of a Pokémon with holofoil borders, gold name text and no Pokédex entry, and Pokémon LEGEND, two card pairs that form one picture. HeartGold Collection carries the Ho-Oh LEGEND pair. The English HeartGold & SoulSilver set of February 10, 2010 combined both halves into 124 cards.

What makes HeartGold Collection different

  • Pokémon Prime and LEGEND debut Both mechanics started in this block, and the Ho-Oh LEGEND pair from this half is the first LEGEND card ever printed alongside the Lugia LEGEND of SoulSilver Collection.
  • Alph Lithograph secret The set's single secret card is an Alph Lithograph, a puzzle card hidden in the checklist that returned as the secret of every LEGEND era set.

Collecting and grading HeartGold Collection

Feraligatr, Ampharos and Blissey lead the hub, with reverse holo style prints listed ahead of the regular copies, followed by Mankey, Slowking, the Alph Lithograph and the two halves of Ho-Oh LEGEND. Pokémon Prime have holofoil borders that chip at the corners and LEGEND halves are only worth grading as a matched pair, so check both cards of a LEGEND before buying one.
