first edition pokemon cards box Base Set Booster - 1st (English) -- EMAIL US TO ORDER! - Pokémon Sealed Product » Pokemon Booster Boxes Its 1999 act like this

Collectors who managed to get their hands on the TCG Game Boy Color sequel on its release date in 2001, were rewarded with a special promo card that was packaged inside the box that featured Pokmon Gold and Silver Legendary Lugia

Pretty obviously if you don't have enough access to said colour you want to lay your land rather than cycle it and so for the most part these are just half the cost of the various other cycling lands and that makes them pretty all round great cards

This saw a bit of time in the red Standard decks of the day, although it fell off as Standard got more powerful

What do you think of the promo, and are you going to join the club

With the Spooky Shot attack, you can deal a whopping 100 damage

Theyre like investment-grade pulls that help define the appeal of the modern Pokmon trading card game era
