For many Millennials, the original 1999 Pokémon video/card games remain a staple of their childhood, providing what seems like a lost art in a nostalgic feeling. With kids alike trading cards at the lunch table, or virtually via Gameboy's connect cable, it was apparent from the beginning that Pokémon is not only special, but part of a generation. For a generation such as the Millennials it signals the end of the tangible toy age and the beginning of the virtual age as no other item became as popular or as connective as Pokémon in years following.
Even more impressive is the fact that Pokémon remains popular today and just like Star Wars, is arguably more popular than ever with kids and adults taking part in the different games that the vast World of Pokémon offers. Some argue that it will become as important to modern collecting as the 1986/87 Fleer basketball set or the 1909-11 T206 White Border insert set.
Presented is a 103-card complete set of 1999 Pokémon 1st Edition non-sports cards. The highlights include #4 Charizard, #2 Blastoise, #15 Venusaur and #3 Chansey. The ultimate collectible for any Pokémon fan. All cards appear exactly as photographed and more pictures can be sent upon request. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
