A love for magmar ;)

@scorrer11 As requested, I went through all English and Japanese Magmar and compared it to the list in your first post, and these are the ones missing:

English:

  • Base Set ©1999-2000: the unlimited edition Base Set has both a version with ©1999 and ©1999-2000. The second was released in the UK.
  • Fossil ©1999-2000: the unlimited edition Fossil set non-Holos also had a ©1999-2000 version, which are a lot lesser known than the Base Set. These came from Australian red logo packs. Some more info in this Efour article.
  • EX Team Rocket Returns non-Holo Uncommons have two different codes at the bottom-left. For the Magmar the codes are FQ2-T6E-65C and FQ2-T6E-6GB. All English codes for the ex era sets can be found in this Excel that was once compiled by @tonysandlin.
  • Unleashed Reverse Holo simply seems to be missing in your list
  • Expedition Base Set had leaked Test Color MATCHPRINT cards. For the Magmar (and all available Pokémon) only two copies exist. Some more info can be found in this video of TCA Gaming (I’ve timestamped it at the Magmar).

You also seems to have the Base Set grey 1st edition stamp version twice in the list at numbers #40 and #50. Here an article with all 1st edition stamp variations, although just the regular thick stamp and misprinted grey stamp may be the only ones available for Magmar. It’s plausible a thin or back stamped version might exist as well for Magmar, although I’ve never seen it yet.

Japanese:

  • Quick Starter Gift Set - Green Deck no rarity. This is the same artwork as #5 Vending Machine Extended Sheet 3 (Green). The one from the Vending Machine is glossy with rarity symbol, and the one from the Quick Starter Gift Set is without rarity symbol and regular non-glossy.
  • Guren Town Gym no rarity. This is the same artwork as #25 Challenge from the Darkness. The one from the Challenge from the Darkness set has a rarity symbol, and the one from the Guren Town Gym theme deck is without rarity symbol.

Apart from that you’ve only listed one of a lot of cards, even though they have both a 1st edition and unlimited edition print run in Japanese:

  • Rocket Gang Strikes Back 1st & unlimited editions
  • Mirage Forest 1st & unlimited editions
  • Secret of the Lakes 1st & unlimited editions
  • Bastiodon the Defender deck 1st & unlimited editions
  • Magmortar vs Electivire Deck Kit - Magmortar Half Deck 1st & unlimited editions
  • Beat of the Frontier 1st & unlimited editions
  • Clash at the Summit 1st & unlimited editions
  • Dragon Blade 1st & unlimited editions
  • Rising First 1st & unlimited editions

All the other Japanese sets only have a single edition available, in most cases just unlimited (but for the CP6 and Pokémon VS Karen’s Magmar only 1st edition).

Hope that helps. Good luck with your collection goals! :blush: If you have any questions about the info above, lmk.

Greetz,
