The confluence of a specific Pokmon character, a seasonal holiday, and a future year results in a collectible item anticipated by enthusiasts. These items typically feature thematic artwork combining the characteristics of the character with elements associated with the holiday. The designated year indicates the release timeframe or the year the holiday is celebrated, making it a limited edition or promotional product.
Such collectible items derive value from several factors: the popularity of the Pokmon character itself, the inherent appeal of the holiday theme, and the scarcity associated with limited releases. Historically, promotional cards tied to specific events have appreciated significantly in value, particularly those featuring popular characters and unique artwork. This anticipation creates a dedicated market of collectors and investors.
