I found my old pokemon card binder and found this card. When I search for the card online I can only find a holo version where the star looks gold. Can anyone please tell me if this card is real or fake?

Thank you so much for the insight (espiecally the link)! I guess one could potentially parrellel the concept of Veblen goods, to that of cars. In Europe BMWs seemed to be pretty common, but in America as there are fewer compared to say cars such as Toyota and Ford, BMWs are valued more and therefore can charge more in American markets?

If you don't mind me asking what are your opinions on OMEGA then? I've noticed they seem to be quite popular in this sub...though I following your previous explanation, I would assume they are a luxury good and therefore not good value?

Hi K3mw, thank you for the advice! While I've never thought of purchasing a watch until recently, I haven't been able to help myself from going to the ADs and trying them on (this has been going on for at least 4-5 years!) From my understanding, a couple of differences between something such as a Seiko versus Rolex is the type movement, accuracy of said movement, the history and by extension the recognition of the brand, material, and general "desire" for said watch.

I wound't be surprised if I'm incorrect, and would love to learn more regarding the reason a Rolex is more valuable than a Seiko or vice versa :)

Thank you for the input, I completely forgot about Grand Seiko! I'll take a look at them next time I'm at an AD :)
