For full disclosure, I’m putting together the “original run” of Generation 1 WOTC cards in PSA 10 condition and for collecting purposes I’m organizing them into a single box. The cards I include in this are:

• 1st edition Base Set (thick stamps)
• 1st edition Jungle
• 1st edition Fossil
• Black Star Promo Mew (Mew’s first appearance in the English TCG, also interesting to note that in the Japanese TCG Mew was included in Fossil)

The thing is, so far I’ve been ignoring the non-holo versions of the Jungle and Fossil rare cards, because I just don’t find them appealing. And when I ignore them, the whole set works out to a tidy little number.

Base Set: 103 cards
Jungle: 48 cards (64 - 16)
Fossil: 47 cards (62 - 15)
Mew: 1 card

That adds up to 199 cards, which fits really well in my case that holds 200 PSA cards.

Are you going for the holo Mew or non-holo version of the promo then?

It looks like he thinks non-holos aren’t worth it. So I bet the holo one

Not a fan at all, feels super lazy having the exact same art work appear twice in a set.
