The upcoming Crown Zenith set, a special expansion meant to close out the Sword & Shield era, includes a subset made up of Art Rares and Special Art Rares. The reveals coming in from Japan’s equivalent set VMAX Climax are showing that we are getting a ton of highly collectible cards coming our way, which means that it may be difficult to get a complete set… but there is good news for English-language collectors here, too. The Art Rares featuring Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, and Galarian Moltres will not be in packs of Crown Zenith but will rather be featured as guaranteed Black Star Promo cards in special products. You can find these in the Crown Zenith tins available March 17, 2023. There are three versions of these tins, each of which includes five Crown Zenith booster packs and one full art promo card featuring either Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos or Galarian Moltres. Take a look at the tins below along with a closer look at the artwork of these Art Rares thanks to the Japanese versions available in VSTAR Universe.
