Three dates define the origin story of vintage Pokemon cards. If you understand this, then you will understand where the real alpha is right now. September 1996: 1996 Carddass Part 1 released, the first-ever Pokemon collectible cards (non-TCG). x.com/rarefinds/stat… October 15, 1996: the November issue of CoroCoro Comic drops a two-card glossy insert featuring Pikachu and Jigglypuff, the first-ever Pokemon TCG cards, released simultaneously. October 20, 1996: Japanese Base Set “No Rarity Symbol” released, the first print run of the first full Pokemon TCG set. This may be one of the most important collectibles posts you read all year, because the middle date is where almost no one is looking. The two cards from October 15, 1996 are: (1) the 1996 CoroCoro Glossy Ivy Pikachu, Incorrect Illustrator; and (2) the 1996 CoroCoro Glossy Jigglypuff. They predate Japanese Base Set No Rarity by a full five days, which makes them the first Pokemon TCG cards to ever release. The good news, for now at least, is that there is still time to get them. This year we’ve seen No Rarity Symbol cards skyrocket, with collectors finally respecting those cards for what they are: the true first print run of the original Japanese Base Set. x.com/rarefinds/stat… I have talked about the value of No Rarity Symbol cards for years, and now we have large accounts like @LoganPaul finally talking about them. x.com/thirdmetax/sta… It’s only a matter of time before the attention turns to the two first-ever Pokemon TCG cards. A few critical warnings about the October 15, 1996 cards: 1.You do NOT want the 1996 “non-glossy” versions of these cards. 2.You do NOT want reprinted versions from 1999 or any year other than 1996. 3.For the Pikachu, you specifically want the glossy version with the illustrator error, where Ken Sugimori is mistakenly credited instead of the actual artist, Keiji Kinebuchi. Confirm “Ken Sugimori” is printed on the card before you buy.

@alexakKein True. I know I'm flip flopping a lot but somehow my gut feeling is telling me lower. Maybe it's cuz I didn't long enough at the bottom a few days ago or I'm reading into the bullish TL but I'm really not bullish. Anyways, think r/r is still BNB onchain until the music stops.
