More Information

The Pokémon TCG - 1st Edition Neo Genesis - Full Set (111/111) is an extremely valuable and rare collection in the world of Pokémon cards. Released in December 2000, the Neo Genesis set marked the beginning of the Neo series, which introduced Generation II Pokémon from the Johto region, along with new game mechanics like Metal and Darkness type Pokémon.

Key Features:

Complete Set: The set consists of all 111 cards, including rare holographic cards, Pokémon cards, trainer cards, and energy cards. This includes highly sought-after 1st Edition versions, which are marked with the iconic "1st Edition" stamp on the lower left side of the card artwork, signifying their rarity.

Condition: The set is described as being in Near Mint to Mint condition, meaning the cards are in excellent shape. There might be minor imperfections such as slight edge wear, but no major damage like creases or scratches. These cards should appear virtually flawless to the casual eye, with no significant detracting factors.

Notable Cards: Some of the most valuable and sought-after cards in this set include:

Lugia (Holo), Typhlosion (#17 and #18, both Holo versions), Feraligatr (#5 and #160, Holo versions), Meganium (Holo), Pichu (Holo) and Heracross (Holo)

These are all 1st Edition cards, making them even more desirable to collectors.

1st Edition Stamping: As a 1st Edition set, these cards were part of the initial print run and are rarer than their unlimited counterparts. The small "1st Edition" stamp on each card dramatically increases the set's overall value.

Value and Rarity:

The 1st Edition Neo Genesis set is one of the most valuable sets from the Neo series due to its introduction of the second-generation Pokémon and the appearance of new game mechanics. Completing this set in Near Mint to Mint condition significantly enhances its value, especially for vintage Pokémon card collectors. Cards like Lugia and Typhlosion in mint condition are especially high in demand and can fetch impressive prices individually.

This full set is a major collector's item, especially for those who are nostalgic about the early days of Pokémon's expansion into the second generation.
