For new collectors just joining the hobby, 1st edition Wizards cards can be identified by the 1st edition stamp on the left side of the card under the picture frame (circled in red on the picture below). Collectors and players alike criticized this approach at the time, noting it was merely a way to artificially inflate the contents of a set without adding any unique or meaningful cards.Īs was customary for Wizards’ early Pokemon sets, Jungle received both a 1st edition and unlimited English release. This approach was repeated for a number of later Wizards of the Coast expansions including Fossil, Team Rocket, Neo Discovery, and e-series sets. Wizards of the Coast, the Company publishing Pokemon cards at the time, expanded the English set to 64 cards by printing each Japanese holo card as a both a holo rare and a non-holo rare in the English release.
The set was very small, containing only 48 cards in its Japanese iteration. Released in Japan on Maand in the United States on June 16, 1999, Jungle was the first expansion to the Pokemon TCG. Today I’m focusing on a set that’s been driving me mad and making me crazy: Jungle. With the English release of Burning Shadows, the next expansion in the Sun and Moon block of the Pokemon TCG, still a few months away, I wanted to take a look back at some of the older cards in the TCG’s history and highlight a few collectible cards that casual collectors might not otherwise be familiar with.
