Content & map types
The cards in the Topps 1999 First Edition box feature scenes, characters, and Pokémon from the first seasons of the Pokémon anime. The set consists of:
• Pokémon cards (1–76) – Each card features a specific Pokémon from the Kanto region with anime-style artwork.
Episode cards – Cards that show important moments from the TV series.
• Character cards – Cards featuring main characters such as Ash, Misty, Brock, and Team Rocket.
Checklist cards – Overview of the complete set.
Additionally, there are rare foil/Chromium variants (holo versions) that appear randomly in packs.
The symbol (⸻)
Rarity & collectible value
The First Edition Topps Pokémon box is particularly popular among collectors, especially when:
The packaging is in mint or near-mint condition.
• The cards are not bent or discolored (many Topps cards have sensitive cardboard).
Because Topps produced only a limited edition before the arrival of later series (such as Series 2 and Chrome), this first edition is an important piece of Pokémon history.
The symbol (⸻)
Why special?
One of the first Pokémon products to be released outside Japan.
Independent of Wizards of the Coast – so no playing cards, but purely collectible cards.
Unique nostalgic appearance with artwork directly from the TV series.
