Regulation marks

The letter on the card is legality, not the set symbol. G rotated in 2026.

The letter in the corner of a Pokémon TCG card is the regulation mark. It is legality, not the set symbol. Standard 2026 is H, I, and J. G rotated out in spring 2026.

A card can be reprinted with a new mark. The old print with a rotated letter is not Standard-legal even if the name matches. When you buy singles for a paper list, match the mark, not just the name.

Pocket and Unlimited do not use the same letter as a Standard gate. Do not mix the systems.
