Base Set card list and price guide
Research the original English Pokémon Base Set checklist and compare the exact card, printing, condition, and available marketplace data.
Identify by number
Match the card name, set name, and printed collector number before comparing prices or adding it to a collection.
Watch the variant
Standard, reverse holo, stamped, promotional, and other variants can have different demand and marketplace records.
Record condition
Keep condition notes with your collection. Even small surface, edge, or corner differences can affect resale value.

About this set
Base Set introduced the English-language Pokémon Trading Card Game in 1999 and remains one of the hobby’s most recognized releases. The live checklist contains the familiar 102 numbered cards, but printing differences still require careful identification.
The checklist above is loaded from the same live database used by Pokémon Card Pulse. Open an individual card to see available market information and related eBay listings.
Collector checklist tips
Check whether a card is first edition, shadowless, or an unlimited printing, and inspect copyright lines, borders, holo patterns, and condition. Those details can be decisive for vintage cards.
For expensive cards, inspect high-resolution photos and verify authenticity, condition, and grading details before buying.
