(Sorry, images weren't working for me)
I've been searching around online but it isn't even on TCGPlayer. The only price I found is this eBay listing for $35, which is why I'm even interested in finding out its price. If somebody can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

The TCGPlayer entry doesn't seem to be for the special promotional edition in your photos, and the price data is kind of garbage anyway since it seems there's only ever 1 or 2 people listing it at any given time. Your promo may not be tournament legal due to the alternate card back and silvered border (instead of yellow), but I don't know how those things work for Pokemon.

The ones on TCG aren't the same card - they were printed in another set. Mine isn't foiled like those are, and has Japanese(?) characters on the image. Thanks for the eBay listings though, only the one I listed showed up on the first run through

@alulien: Take a closer look at the card borders on the eBay listings. The "cheap" ones all have the same silver border and silver writing as the promo. The others have the normal yellow border and no extra writing in the art box.

Yea, I see my detective work was pretty shoddy. Junior detective out.

The cheap one is from a World Championship deck. The ones that are expensive are the Legit Latias-es opened from packs or etc.

That is a non-tournament legal version of the card. It was printed in a World Championship deck that retails for about $30. The Japanese characters on the art are the champion's signature (the creator and pilot of the deck).
Per trollandtoad it is worth $5.99. Most know the card as "Latias *".

Thanks everybody for the responses. I think I'll keep it for a while.
Consider the discussion closed. Thanks.

It's called Latias Star. TCG Player has 2 listed right now. And I found a "ton" (relatively) on eBay. Huge variance from $20 to $130s... no idea why, though from what I can tell there's no difference between them.
