About Base
Base is the Pokémon TCG series that began on 9 Jan 1999 and now covers 2 English sets, from Base Set to Jungle.
The Base series is where the English Pokémon TCG began. Wizards of the Coast published it in the US, and its sets in order are Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, Base Set 2 and Team Rocket, all released in 1999 and 2000.
Most cards from this era exist in several printings. Base Set has 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited versions of the same card, and later sets had 1st Edition and Unlimited runs, so the edition stamp and small details on the card change what a copy is worth. In Jungle and Fossil, each rare came in a holo and a non-holo version.
Holo rares are the chase cards of the Base era: the Base Set Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur, and the Jungle Eeveelutions and Snorlax. The prices on this page are for Unlimited raw Near Mint copies unless the card name says otherwise.
