Sadly don’t think it has the back watermarks(?)
Likely was cut with CGC who verified first but yeah, not sure of why the seller sent me that to verify. I will ask !

Well now he has them in hand and like we thought it doesn’t have the markings on the back. So I really don’t see how they know it’s from Starter Deck A…
same haha 
Is starter deck a supposed to be a reference to the trainer deck a?
I thought it had to do with the 2-player starter set box that includes two 30 card decks. One deck is A and the other is B.
Yes I think so… I’ve never heard of “Starter Deck A”
Yes that is what I thought as well since Diglett isn’t in the trainer a deck.
Didn’t even think to check the list, yeah since Diglett isn’t in the Trainer Deck A I have absolutely no clue what these cards are and what “Starter Deck A” is supposed to mean 
I can’t view the story anymore, are these glossy?
There is no way these are Starter Deck A. They are mislabeled and are from the 1999-2000 UK, Australia or USA starter decks given their copyright date.
These are likely to be from the UK 2-Player Starter Set. Each of the CGC graded cards align with the deck list, and the copyrights align with the UK printing.
(Thanks @acebren for the eBay pics)
Smpratt screenshotted my stories and didn’t follow, savagery.
Anyway, I’m as confused as you all are too
What we do know is that it is a UK 4th print, and that may be something to do with the confusion of the label.
Could also be a mis label by Wotc. Wouldn’t be the first time.
These are test prints though? From what I understand match prints are for testing colours. Perhaps there are more where the colours vary (I’m speculating).
There are 3 versions of 1999-2000 cards but all the authenticators suck. They don’t recognize them or care to. Even multiple cards with different copyrights dates don’t matter to PSA or CGC.
Spanish Base set has 1999 and 1999-2000 copyright cards and they do not care at all. Grading is a joke still for some reason. Makes me upset.
Yeah it’s most likely something with base 2000 since the copyright is the most definitive thing we have to work with. As @Dyl said, Base 2000 starter deck makes the most sense!
I have identified maybe 5 different packs for 1999-2000 cards and 3+ different types of cards inside. All 5 of these are considered equal right now and get slabbed the same way. I am going to do a video with a microscope and analyze the differences. Some have dark font borders but the grading companies refuse to differentiate between them.
CGC would nev…uh I mean PSA would never
I know its an old topic but Ive come across one of these that has the watermark on the back. Thought i’d share photos.
It is very glossy almost plastic looking surface but thats really hard to get a photo of. The watermark is really tough to see without specifically looking or light creating a glare. You can see how the corner watermark isnt seen at all until i focus on getting the light on it.
With all the prototype talk recently, I thought this was also a unique piece.
