McDonald’s Collection 2017 - Pokémon

This iconic promotional expansion brings together unique variants of popular creatures from the Sun & Moon era. Released as part of a global promotional campaign, these cards are highly sought after by collectors aiming to complete their Pokémon Singles collections. The set consists of 12 distinct cards, all featuring a special confetti holofoil pattern that is characteristic of the McDonald’s TCG releases.

Characteristics of the McDonald’s Collection 2017 set

The 2017 iteration focuses heavily on the Alola region and its unique regional forms. Collectors can find iconic species such as Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio, alongside the legendary Pikachu. Unlike standard Boosters, these were distributed in limited-time packs containing a single card. Because of their unique distribution method, finding these cards in pristine condition is a priority for many fans. Most items in this category are classified as Promo or Holo Rare, distinguishing them from the main numbered sets of the Pokémon TCG.

Buying guide for TCG collectors

When looking for these promotional items, several factors should influence your decision. First, examine the card condition carefully; as promotional items often found in toys, high-grade copies are particularly valuable. Second, consider the language version. While many collectors seek English versions, CardTrader allows you to source versions from different regions to find the most affordable price or specific regional variants. Using the Shop Optimizer can also help you find the best deals when purchasing multiple cards at once to complete your expansion list. It is often more efficient to source multiple cards from the same seller when building a Complete Set.

Shipping and the CardTrader Zero advantage

One of the biggest hurdles in collecting sets like the McDonald’s Collection 2017 is the accumulated shipping cost when buying individual singles from different vendors. By utilizing CardTrader Zero, you can combine purchases from multiple international sellers into a single shipment. This is particularly useful for promotional cards, where shipping could otherwise exceed the market value of the cards themselves. Browse the Pokémon game page to find more expansions and accessories for your collection.
