Didn’t these come from the vending series as well as in the Quick Starter Set? I’ve seen them on Ebay every now and then

Thank you for the replies , the vending and quick starter are reprints of these cards , the quickstarter is identical so is impossible to tell the difference , I’m looking for these versions without the rarity symbol

Then you would want to buy the quick starter versions. They do not have rarity symbols and are non-glossy.

I’d like to find the original 1997 ones but not sure how to tell them apart from the quick starter versions ?
