Zekrom is a Dragon/Electric-type Legendary, and its best-known Japanese Full Art carries a piece of the card game’s own anniversary history stamped onto it. The print we grade and list in PSA 10 is a foil-stamped 15th Anniversary variant of the White Collection 055/053 SR Full Art Zekrom — the same illustration, by 5ban Graphics, that first appeared when the White Collection expansion released in Japan on 17 December 2010.
This guide walks through where 055/053 sits inside Zekrom’s wider Japanese print run, what the 15th Anniversary stamp is (and what it is not), how the White Collection set compares to its English counterpart, and where this print ranks against the other Zekrom PSA 10s listed on our site.
Our PSA 10 Zekrom 15th Anniversary [BW-P 055/053] is currently listed at ¥1,982,400 (~$12,468). The plain White Collection 055/053 SR — the same card number, without the anniversary foil stamp — is a separate PSA 10 listing at ¥353,999 (~$2,226). The 15th Anniversary stamp was applied to prints inserted into a Pokémon Center-exclusive bundle, and the bundle’s release date is unverified — sources conflict. The White Collection base set (17 December 2010) predates the Japanese “old back” era cutoff by nearly a decade, so this is a modern Black & White-era print, not a vintage old-back card.

The Card: Zekrom 055/053 SR Full Art
Zekrom is a Dragon/Electric-type Legendary Pokemon. The 055/053 print is a Full Art treatment at the SR tier, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, and its position at #055 in a “053” set — a number past the set’s own main count — marks it as the special/secret slot rather than part of the regular numbered run.
The print listed above is not a separate card from the base 055/053 SR — it is that same Full Art illustration, but with a foil anniversary stamp added, sourced from a Pokémon Center-exclusive bundle rather than a standard booster or promo pack. It is currently listed at ¥1,982,400 (~$12,468), graded PSA 10.
The base White Collection 055/053 SR — the same illustration, same card number, without the anniversary stamp — is a separate print in our catalogue, covered in the next section.
Print History: Zekrom’s Japanese Prints
Zekrom’s Japanese print history, drawn from the card’s official record, runs across several treatments of the same White Collection era, plus later reprints:
| Set | Number | Rarity | Illustrator |
|---|---|---|---|
| White Collection (BW1w) | 020/053 | R (Regular) | 5ban Graphics |
| White Collection (BW1w) | 055/053 | SR (Full Art) | 5ban Graphics |
| BW-P Promotional | 052/BW-P | Promo | 5ban Graphics |
| Master Deck Build Box EX | 013/046 | Promo/Box exclusive | 5ban Graphics |
| EX Battle Boost | 043/093 | Set print | Kagemaru Himeno |
| EX Battle Boost | 095/093 | Set print | 5ban Graphics |
| Promo Card Pack (Anniversary) | 021/025 | Promo | 5ban Graphics |
Every print on this list is illustrated by 5ban Graphics with one exception: EX Battle Boost 043/093, illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno — a different artist for what is otherwise a 5ban Graphics-dominated print run for this Pokemon.
020/053 R (Regular)
The 020/053 print sits inside the set’s main numbered run at the Regular (R) tier — the standard non-Full-Art treatment for this generation of Japanese sets.
055/053 SR (Full Art) — base print vs the 15th Anniversary variant
This is the same 055/053 Full Art illustration as our anniversary anchor, but without the foil stamp — graded PSA 10 and currently listed at ¥353,999 (~$2,226). The price gap between this print and the anniversary-stamped anchor at ¥1,982,400 reflects the anniversary bundle’s provenance and its graded population, not a different underlying card — the artwork and card number are identical.
BW-P Promotional 052/BW-P
A separate promotional print from the BW-P promo line, distinct from both the White Collection set prints and the later anniversary promo pack below. This print is not currently listed on our site.
Promo Card Pack (Anniversary) 021/025
A later reprint in its own promo card pack, separate from both the White Collection SR and the BW-P promo — a third distinct Zekrom print, and the lowest-priced of the Zekrom prints covered in this guide: ¥23,707 (~$149).
The Master Deck Build Box EX 013/046 and the two EX Battle Boost prints (043/093 and 095/093) round out the wider print run listed in the table above; we do not currently have card-specific figures for these three, and none are listed on our site at the moment.
The Set: White Collection (BW1w)
White Collection is one half of the paired Japanese Black Collection / White Collection starter-based expansions, released in Japan on 17 December 2010. Combined, the Japanese Black & White-era release covered a total of 112 cards across both Collections, with White Collection’s own card numbers running to /053 — the “053” in our anchor’s 055/053 number refers to that subset.
The Pokémon Center-exclusive bundle that carries the 15th Anniversary foil stamp is reported with two different release dates across sources we checked — one reference points to October 2011, another to August 2012. We are not presenting either date as confirmed until this is resolved against a fuller official record.
Per secondary marketplace listings for this bundle (not an official set record), the anniversary product also included items such as sleeves, a coin, damage counters, and playmats alongside the foil-stamped 055/053 card — details worth noting as context, though we treat them as secondary-source information rather than confirmed specifications.
The White Collection print sits in the same wider Black & White era covered by our full Zekrom Japanese print guide, which tracks every Zekrom print across every era rather than this single anniversary deep dive.
Where This SR Sits Among Japanese Rarity Tiers
Within White Collection, Zekrom’s two main-set prints sit on different rungs of the set’s own rarity structure: the Regular (R) print at 020/053, and the Full Art SR at 055/053, positioned outside the set’s core numbering as the special slot — the standard pattern for SR-tier Full Art cards in this era of Japanese sets.
The 15th Anniversary foil stamp does not change that underlying rarity tier. It is a bundle-insert distinction layered on top of the same SR Full Art print, not a separate or higher rarity classification within the set itself.

For a lower entry point on a different Zekrom print, the PSA 10 Zekrom Promo [S8a-P 021/025] is listed at ¥23,707 (~$149). We also list a PSA 10 Zekrom R :1ED [CP2 009/027] from the Legend Kira Collection at ¥103,604 (~$652) — a different regular-rarity Zekrom print from a separate set, not part of the White Collection print run covered above.
For the full Zekrom print family, see our Zekrom Japanese card guide. For the modern 2025-26 M-series print, see our separate Zekrom 30th Celebration card guide — a different, much more recent print era from the 2010 White Collection card covered here. Zekrom also appears in dual-Pokemon prints, covered in our Pikachu & Zekrom-GX 30th Celebration reprint guide. For general context on where 2010-era Japanese prints like this one sit relative to true vintage cards, see our Japanese old-back cards guide — note that White Collection released nearly a decade after the July 2001 old-back cutoff, so this Zekrom print is a modern Black & White-era card, not an old-back card.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Zekrom 15th Anniversary card?
It is a foil-stamped anniversary variant of the White Collection 055/053 SR Full Art Zekrom, inserted into a Pokémon Center-exclusive bundle. It is the same illustration and card number as the base 055/053 print, with an anniversary stamp added. We list a PSA 10 of this print at ¥1,982,400 (~$12,468).
Is the 15th Anniversary Zekrom the same card as the plain SR 055/053?
Same artwork and card number, different print. The anniversary-stamped version comes from a Pokémon Center-exclusive bundle; the plain version is the standard White Collection print. We list them separately — the plain SR is priced at ¥353,999 (~$2,226) against ¥1,982,400 for the anniversary-stamped print.
When was the 15th Anniversary Premium Set released?
Unverified. Sources we checked conflict — one points to October 2011, another to August 2012 — so we are not presenting either date as confirmed.
Does Zekrom 055/053 have an English print?
Yes, the base Full Art print corresponds to Black & White (EN) #114/114, Rare Ultra, from the English Black & White base set released 25 April 2011. No English equivalent of the 15th Anniversary bundle itself is verified.
Is this a Japanese “old back” card?
No. White Collection released on 17 December 2010, nearly a decade after the July 2001 old-back cutover. This is a modern Black & White-era print with an anniversary foil stamp, not a vintage old-back card.
