Pokemon Topps TV/Movie Animation Edition Series 1 Trading Cards -You Choose Card

About this deal

These are vintage 1999 Topps Pokemon trading cards tied to the original animated TV series. The 1999 Topps Pokemon TV Animation Edition is the first of several spinoff sets focusing on the animated TV show and the world it spawned. There are 90 cards in total: 76 Pokemon cards, 13 character cards, and a checklist card. The set covers a lot of iconic names from the early days of the franchise, including Pikachu, Charizard and Squirtle. Each of the 90 cards also had two foil card versions -- silver and rainbow -- in their main US distributions. This listing is a pick-your-own opportunity, sold ungraded, making it ideal for nostalgia collectors, set builders, or fans filling in gaps. Printings are distinguished by a blue, black, green, or red Topps logo, with card texts updated between the first and second printings. There was only one print run made in the UK, featuring a blue logo and a round Nintendo logo on the back. Cards are ungraded, so condition will vary; buyers should check the listing images carefully before purchasing.
