Pokemon Merlin series 1 - 1999 - complete 276/276 set - EXCELLENT condition In my humble opinion the cards are on average in EXCELLENT condition, but please decide for yourself. These cards are really prone to damage so the quality is a bit all over the place! All cards are sleeved to keep them in this condition. Pokémon Merlin Series 1 is a set of collectable Pokémon cards featuring Pokémon found in Kanto, as well as characters from the original series, that were created by the Pokémon Merlin cards subsidiary of Topps in 1999. The collection features 276 stickers in total; including 150 Pokémon from the Kanto Pokédex; 82 other cards featuring Pokémon, most of which with one or both vertical borders missing to emphasize the evolutionary or type relationships between Pokémon; 36 sparkle/holo cards of which 12 cards have a gold background; and 8 puzzle cards. This listing is for all 276/276 cards from Merlin series 1. Although Merlin were one of the larger Pokemon licensees very little Pokemon collectors have collected all of these cards! This while many people own or have seen a few of the cards from the 7 sets made. See BULBAPEDIA (Pokemon wikipedia) for information about these Merlin sets. #4
