Latias

# Latias - Nintendo Black Star Promo This Latias represents a curious artifact from Pokémon's promotional era. Black Star Promos were distributed through various Nintendo channels, making them accessible but not universally owned. Collectors view this card as a legitimate vintage piece rather than a chase card, valued more for its historical presence than scarcity. The appeal lies in its connection to early Pokémon marketing rather than gameplay strength. Collectors appreciate Black Star Promos as snapshots of how the franchise promoted itself before modern booster box culture dominated. While not rare by modern standards, finding well-preserved copies matters to those building complete promotional sets. It's a solid foundational piece for vintage collectors rather than a centerpiece card.
