Top 10 Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery Cards Worth Collecting

Starting off with one of the biggest chase cards in Crown Zenith, we have Giratina VSTAR.

This is easily one of the most recognizable cards from the Galarian Gallery, and it’s not hard to see why. The gold artwork is incredible, and there’s so much going on in the illustration that you notice something different every time you look at it.

It’s also currently the most expensive raw card in the gallery. If you’re trying to complete a Galarian Gallery master set, this is probably going to be one of your bigger purchases. Personally, I think it’s one of those cards that looks even better in person.

This might be one of my favorite Mew cards released in recent years. Instead of some crazy battle scene, the artwork shows Mew relaxing in a peaceful environment surrounded by other Pokémon. It’s simple, but that’s exactly what makes it so good.

What’s really interesting is the difference between the raw and PSA 10 prices. At around $65 raw, it’s fairly accessible compared to some of the bigger cards on this list. But a PSA 10 is currently valued at over $1,000.

That’s a pretty significant premium for a gem-mint copy. If you’re thinking about buying one graded, I’d definitely recommend checking recent sold listings before spending that kind of money. Either way, this is a great card to have in a collection, especially if you’re a Mew fan.

You can’t really make a Pokémon collector list without Pikachu showing up somewhere. The GG30 Pikachu is a great example of why people love the Galarian Gallery. The artwork has a lot of personality, and it feels different from the typical Pikachu cards we’re used to seeing.

One thing I’ve noticed with Pikachu cards is that there’s almost always someone looking for them. Whether it’s a newer collector or someone who’s been collecting for years, Pikachu is just one of those Pokémon that appeals to everyone.

At under $40 raw, this is also one of the more affordable cards on this list. The PSA 10 price is another story, though. If you just want the artwork for your collection, I’d personally lean toward picking up a nice raw copy.

This card is awesome. The artwork features Mewtwo battling Charizard, and it’s one of those illustrations that immediately grabs your attention.

What makes this card even cooler is that it connects with the Charizard VSTAR promo from the Sword & Shield Ultra-Premium Collection. The two cards show different perspectives of the same battle. I love when Pokémon does stuff like that.

Mewtwo has always been one of the most popular legendary Pokémon, so it’s no surprise that this card has become one of the bigger chases from Crown Zenith. If you’re collecting this one, I’d highly recommend picking up the matching Charizard promo as well.

Okay, this one might be the funniest card on the entire list. If you haven’t looked closely at the artwork, take another look. That’s not a regular Numel hanging out in the field. It’s Ditto pretending to be one.

It’s such a simple idea, but it works perfectly. What’s even crazier is the price difference between raw and PSA 10 copies. You can pick this card up for around $17 raw, but a PSA 10 is currently valued at over $500. That’s a huge jump.

Personally, this is exactly the type of card I enjoy seeing in collections. Not everything has to be a legendary Pokémon or an expensive chase card. Sometimes a goofy Ditto is all you need.

Next up is Arceus VSTAR, another one of the gold cards from the Galarian Gallery. If you’ve seen all four gold VSTAR cards together, you already know how good they look as a set.

Arceus, Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga all have their own unique artwork, but they share a similar style that makes them look great displayed together.

Arceus is also the final card in the Galarian Gallery, numbered GG70. For anyone trying to complete the full gallery, this is definitely one of the cards you’ll want to work toward.

Palkia is another card that really benefits from the gold artwork. There’s a ton of detail in the illustration, and the Origin Forme design fits the overall style really well.

One thing I like about this card is that it’s a little more affordable than Giratina and Arceus. It’s still not exactly cheap, but if you’re trying to collect the four gold VSTAR cards, Palkia might be a good place to start.

And honestly, I don’t think you can have Palkia without eventually wanting Dialga too.

Right behind Palkia, we have Dialga VSTAR. These two cards just belong together.

The artwork follows the same gold style, and I think they look especially good next to each other in a binder or display. Interestingly, Dialga currently has a higher raw value than Palkia, but their PSA 10 prices are almost identical.

If you’re collecting the gold cards, I’d recommend looking at both of these together instead of focusing on just one.

We had to get at least one Eeveelution on this list. Leafeon VSTAR has some really nice artwork, with Leafeon relaxing in a grassy environment. It’s a much calmer illustration compared to the legendary Pokémon we’ve talked about so far.

And that’s part of what makes it stand out. Eeveelutions have always been popular among collectors, and there are plenty of people who focus their entire collections around Eevee and its evolutions.

If you’re one of those collectors, this is definitely a card worth checking out. It’s also a good reminder that some of the best artwork in Crown Zenith isn’t necessarily found on the gold cards.

Finishing off the list is Darkrai VSTAR. Darkrai has always had a really cool design, and this card does a great job capturing that darker, mysterious look.

The colors, background, and overall illustration make this one stand out, especially when you see it in person. At around $75 raw, it’s also a more affordable option compared to some of the other VSTAR cards on this list.

If you’re a fan of Darkrai or just enjoy collecting cards with unique artwork, I think this one deserves a spot in your collection.
