If Pixar stories are your thing and you love a shiny parallel, 2025 Pixar Gold is built to hit you right in the feels. This collector’s guide walks through the base set, parallels, inserts, and key chase cards so you know what to expect when you crack a box or join your next group break.

Let’s break down exactly what you’ll find inside a box of 2025 Pixar Gold — and why it might just be the set of the year.

2025 Pixar Gold is a Pixar-themed trading card release built around a character-driven base set, gold parallels, and chase inserts. Collectors can build full sets, chase low-numbered gold cards, or target favorite Pixar characters and movies, with select autographs and premium hits adding extra upside for box and case breaks.

Base Cards + Parallels (Gilded Packs)

The Gilded Pixar base set features 100 characters from the Pixar universe, all on shimmering gold-etched Chrome stock. Each card back includes a tight 40–50-word snippet of character lore. Think Frozone’s coolness captured in gilded tech.

Base parallels include:

  • Kaleidoscope Gold Etch (unnumbered, 1 per pack)
  • Prism Etch (sequentially #’d to 100)
  • Gold… Turning Red Etch (sequentially #’d to 99)
  • Wave Gold Etch (sequentially #’d to 75)
  • Mini Diamond Gold Etch (sequentially #’d to 50)
  • RayWave Gold Etch (sequentially #’d to 25)
  • Lava Gold Etch (sequentially #’d to 10)
  • Rose Gold Etch (sequentially #’d to 5)
  • Superfractor (1/1)

Whether you’re building the full set or chasing rare refractors, this base lineup delivers Pixar’s patented heat.

Insert Cards (Gilded Packs)

Inside every box, you’ll uncover rich storytelling through inserts like:

  • Golden Moments (30 cards): Iconic Pixar scenes with full-bleed Chrome design
  • Golden Double Acts (10 cards): Pixar’s most memorable duos (Buzz & Woody, Mike & Sulley)
  • Pixar Gold (10 cards): Case-hit rarity with premium design lifted from 2024 Disney Chrome

All insert cards start at base gold etch refractor with chase-worthy parallels:

  • Mini Diamond (sequentially #’d to 50)
  • RayWave (sequentially #’d to 25)
  • Lava (sequentially #’d to 10)
  • Rose Gold (sequentially #’d to 5)
  • Superfractor (1/1)

Also, keep eyes peeled for Animated Aura — a 1/1-only chase featuring 50 different Pixar characters.

Autograph Cards (Gilded Packs)

Every case guarantees 1 Gilded Pixar Authentic Autograph, which includes:

  • 30 subjects
  • Chrome technology with sticker autos
  • Start at unnumbered refractor, and go up to:
    • Prism (sequentially #’d to 100)
    • Turning Red Etch (sequentially #’d to 99)
    • Wave (sequentially #’d to 75)
    • Mini Diamond (sequentially #’d to 50)

    • Lava (sequentially #’d to 10)
    • Rose Gold (sequentially #’d to 5)

From fan-favorite voice actors to under-the-radar Pixar legends, this is autograph hunting at its glossiest.
