I was digging through my collection and found some old cards that I don’t remember where they came from. It is what appear to be no rarity Japanese Base cards, but I think they are from something else. I have 8 of each energy, and then several trainers.
I noticed the text on the switch card is different that others you normally find.
Any ideas?
One is from a starter deck and the other is a real “No rarity” card. You can read about these variations here:
+1, there is also some decent conversation about 1996 Expansion Pack energies at the end 
I’m just joking. That ^ is only to say that it’s near impossible to tell where the basic energies came from unless they were witnessed as having been pulled from sealed No Rarity.
Thank you! I guess I have a bunch of quick starter set cards, just none of the good ones.
Cool to know, right down our alley
