Shining Celebi 141/103 reissues one of the earliest “Shining” secret rares — a notable innovation that restricted deckbuilding to no more than 1 Shining Celebi per deck, per Bulbapedia — inside the 30-card Classic Collection block of 30th CELEBRATION (M6a), the flagship Japanese set marking the Pokemon Trading Card Game’s 30th anniversary.
Shining Celebi 141/103 is a Classic Collection reprint — sparkling holofoil, gold-border treatment, no regulation letter, not Standard-legal — of the Neo Destiny Shining Celebi illustrated by Hironobu Yoshida, one of the cards that introduced the “Shining Pokemon” secret-rare mechanic in 2002.

- Sealed Japanese Pokemon booster boxes are listed on our store as of this update.
What the 141/103 Shining Celebi Reprint Actually Is
30th CELEBRATION (M6a) released worldwide on Wednesday 16 September 2026 at ¥360 per six-card foil pack, or ¥7,200 for a 20-pack box. The official card list, published 9 September 2026, covers the main set 001–103, the Classic Collection 136–165 and the eight Basic Energy in the official card database; the AR/SAR/FUR secret-rare block 104–135 is compiled from official images and PokeBeach’s list and remains outside the official database. Shining Celebi 141/103 sits in the Classic Collection: 30 cards, numbered 136–165, described by PokeBeach as carrying a special sparkling holofoil and gold-border treatment; the cards carry no regulation letter. None of the Classic Collection is usable under current Standard rules; each card remains legal only in whatever format its original printing is legal in.
The official card database lists 141/103 with the Japanese name ひかるセレビィ (Hikaru Celebi, localised as Shining Celebi) and illustrator Hironobu Yoshida — the same artist credited on the original.
The Original Neo Destiny Card
Per Limitless TCG, the card being reissued is Shining Celebi from the English Neo Destiny set, #106/105 — numbered above the set’s own stated total of 105 cards, which is how Shining-era secret rares were marked. Neo Destiny released in English in February 2002. Compiled English checklist sites (Bill’s Archive, thornberrymedia) independently list the same original printing for Classic Collection slot 141/103, and both flag it as a “reported” pick. Bulbapedia separately gives a Japanese original of the “Darkness, and to Light…” set, card #106.
| Field | Original Neo Destiny print (per Limitless) |
|---|---|
| HP / Type / Stage | 50 HP, Grass, Basic |
| Attack — Healing Water | Cost 1 Water. Removes damage counters from 1 of your Benched Pokemon equal to the Water Energy attached to it. |
| Attack — Miracle Leaf | Cost 1 Grass + 1 Psychic. 10 damage; flips coins based on the Defending Pokemon’s attached Energy to potentially apply a Special Condition. |
| Weakness / Resistance / Retreat | Fire / None / 1 |
| Rarity | Shining Holo / Secret Rare, numbered above the set’s stated total (105) |
Per Bulbapedia, this card exemplifies the “Shining Pokemon” mechanic introduced in the Neo Destiny era — a notable TCG innovation that restricted deckbuilding, with players allowed “no more than 1 Shining Celebi in your deck.” At a time when most cards had no such limit, that was a genuinely new rule for the game.

What Comparable Graded Celebi Prints Are Worth
Two other graded Celebi prints are different cards from different eras and are not stand-ins for 141/103 itself:
The PSA10 Celebi: Old Back PRMF-3 No.251 is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥468,000 (~$3,039) and the PSA10 Shining Celebi H at ¥32,752 (~$213) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
The Shining Celebi H shares the “Shining Celebi” name but is a later Shining Legends printing (SM3+ 004/072), not the Neo Destiny original. On SNKRDUNK, as of 11 September 2026, the lowest asking price for a Japanese old-back Celebi listing from “Pokemon Card neo” Expansion Pack, “Darkness, and to Light…” — the Japanese Neo Destiny-era release contemporaneous with the English original — was ¥179,980, across 10 listings. That later Shining Legends printing (SM3+ 004/072) asked as low as ¥8,580 across 29 listings on SNKRDUNK the same day. Both figures are marketplace asks, not sales, and not PSA10 figures.
