Oui... I don't collect cards anymore, but I only got about a little over 100 in a binder. The rarest ones I got are some of the Legendaries:

- Latias from the Pokemon Heroes movie (my brother got Latios)
- Aqua's Kyogre
- Suicune
- Jirachi from the Wishmaker movie
- a foil (this the same as holo?) Groudon

My other foils/holo are a Dark Arbok, Vulpix, Numel, Linoone, and an Aqua Walrien.

I don't collect the cards anymore though... I don't have enough room for 'em, and I'm more into the games and some of the anime.:sweatlol:
 
You reminded me of my Blaziken ex.. (T.T) My friend lost it.. It hurts so much being my first ex and "rarest" to me..

Followed by Shaymin(Sky) lvl X and Palkia G Lvl X which I considered as my second rarest card.. :)
 
-First movie Pikachu signed by Ikue Ohtani
-Second movie Ancient Mew with program book
-CoroCoro promo Shining Mew

I have a first edition, holofoil, base set... Machamp.

Yeah, I'm pretty much out of the loop, but I don't think any of my cards are particularly rare. I have most of the first movie promos and an Ancient Mew, but nothing stellar. My base set Charizard is in the worst condition imaginable.
 
None of these are particularly rare cards, and I have more than one copy of a few.

Groudon EX (Black Star 38)
Rayquaza EX (Black Star 39)
Pikachu Delta (Black Star 35)
Suicune (POP2)
Swampert (POP1)
Armaldo EX (POP1)
Gallade (Secret Wonders) <-- I have this weird feeling that this one may be fake... something's off with the holographics. But it came out of a real booster pack (bought it at TRU), and it was the only rare card in it, nothing else wrong with the card, so maybe it was one of those rare glitches on the press. Maybe not.
Gardevoir (various series)
Blaziken (forget which series; can't find it)
 
I only started collecting again (from scratch) last month, so at the moment it's a Gengar Lv. X (Arceus) and a Honchkrow Lv. X (Secret Wonders).
 
dark charizard, non holo
dark charizard, holo
Venasuar
Blastoise
Alot of Kanto gym leader cards to many to list.
 
My rarest off the top of my head would have to be the original Birthday Pikachu, the full Southern Islands set, and the Olympics International Pikachu binder set.
 
i gave away all my pokemon cards a few years ago, but i used to have a birthday pikachu one and a few other promo cards [arcanine, mew, etc.]
 
Promo DP Empoleon Lv. X
DP Empoleon Lv. X.
Ancient Mew (<These are actually kind of common)
Jumbo DP Promo Palkia

Off the top of my head...
 
Mew Ex from the Crystal Guardians set... I think its either under the bed or jammed down the side...
 
This Jumbo Card is the topper from my collection:

Articuno,%20Moltres%20And%20Zapdos.jpg


This is my own card:

I had a Ho-Oh LEGEND that I got by trading a Donphan Prime (from the new sets, received at the prerelease), but I ended up trading both cards for a Glaceon Lv. X, two Froslasses from Arceus, and the not-so-rare Glaceon from Majestic Dawn.

As of right now, I have two Glaceon Lv. X (the first one I got by trading the Blissey Prime I pulled in the same prerelease).
