About Base Set
Base Set is an English Base set released on 9 Jan 1999, with 30 cards. Its most valuable card is Charizard 004/102 at US$987.13 raw Near Mint.
Base Set was the first English Pokémon TCG expansion, released by Wizards of the Coast in January 1999 with 102 cards. Its 16 holo rares, numbered 1 to 16, include Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, Mewtwo and Zapdos, and the holo Charizard 4/102 is still the best-known Pokémon card ever printed.
Base Set was printed in three main runs: 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited. The differences are small (an edition stamp, a missing shadow on the right of the art box), but they change prices a lot, so check which version you have against the card list above. Prices here are for raw Near Mint Unlimited copies.
