So I know it was referenced in the video, but what are now believed to be the earliest cards?

I’m glad the Topsun cards don’t hold this title because I think they’re so ugly.

Base set no rarity methinks

Were there any interesting promos or prints that preceded that official release, I wonder?

Per @shizzlemetimbers incredible guide to the early days of Pokémon, it appears that the Carddass parts 1&2 cards, released in late September of 1996, were a couple weeks ahead of the 96 Japanese Base set.

Which is around the time when the copyright information changed on the Pokemon Kid’s cards too. Just to show you a quick example I hastily threw together. One day i’ll get around to writing another full article.

Which one of these variations aside from 2018 is the rarest ?? @___@
