Hello everyone! It’s me again, Kob, completing TCG Collector’s database one post at a time.

Today I bring you more deck numbered card variants, similar to the situation I found with the XY Beginning Sets - if you’re curious, check my other post!

During the BW era, there were 4 different Beginning Sets + 1 National Beginning Set released.

Right now, I’ve found videos that can help me identify some of the variants (BUT NOT ALL) for the:

Even so, some cards are still hard to verify, like the energies that most people just skip, although they have different deck numberings between them.

I’m asking for HELP scouring the Internet for images and or videos where one can clearly identify all the different cards available in all of these 5 products!

One of our users has the complete Beginning Set for Girls with the holo exclusives of the Boys version!

After some investigation, it seems like the first 4 sets share the exact same variants as in the Beginning Set for Boys! Every Girls specific cards (Alomola, Audino and Minccino and the holo specific variants for the three starters’ basic evolutions) as been dropped after the first set (HS set code).

National Beginning Set seems to be the only exception since it has entirely different cards. I’ve found some mercari listings that show the deck numbers on each card MINUS the energies, which we still need.
You can see one of the listings here.

I’m on the last stretch for the National Beginning Set

I’ve discovered every single deck number for every card, minus the energies for the Tepig and Snivy decks

Grass: [3, 4, 5, 11, 13]
Psychic: [6, 7, 8, 10, 12]

Fire: [2, 3, 21]
Fighting: [5, 7]

Any1 know anything about this?

This is incorrect! They appear to, but only the Beginning Set for Boys and the Beginning Set Pikachu share the same variants. Beginning Set + seems to not have the deck numbering on the cards!
