1st Edition Base Set
The January 9, 1999 first print run — every card carries the 1st Edition stamp left of the art box, no drop shadow, thin HP text. The scarcest printing of the most important set in the hobby: ~9,000–13,000 Charizards (frozen estimate). Holo rate 1:3 packs.
The real thing. A factory-sealed 1st Edition Base Set booster pack. The stamped run lasted ~6 weeks (Jan 9 – Feb 1999). Photo: eBay listing archive.
