About this card:
The Pokémon Topps Series 1 (1999) 1st Print set was the first officially licensed Pokémon card series by Topps, distinct from the TCG. It featured scene cards from the anime, character cards, and evolution cards, with parallel foil variants like Silver, Rainbow, and Spectra Chrome. The 1st Print edition, identifiable by the lack of a trademark symbol near the Topps logo, is rarer and more valuable than later reprints. These glossy, non-playable cards have become highly sought-after for their nostalgic appeal and unique artwork, making them a staple in vintage Pokémon collecting.
