How many cards are in Legendary Collection?
Legendary Collection has 110 cards: 19 holo rares at numbers 1–19, 19 rares, 36 uncommons and 36 commons. It released on May 24, 2002.
Does Legendary Collection have a 1st Edition?
No. The Edition 1 stamp ended with Neo Destiny in February 2002, and Legendary Collection and Base Set 2 are the two main WotC sets that never had one.
Does Legendary Collection have reverse holos?
Yes — it is the first set that does. Every card in the set exists in a plain and a reverse-holo version, which is the single most important thing to know when you are valuing one: the reverse holo is the version that carries the premium.
What is Legendary Collection?
A reprint set. Wizards took the most wanted cards from Base Set, Jungle and Fossil and printed them again in 2002 — so the same artwork exists at 1999 prices and at 2002 prices, and the 2002 copies carry the Legendary Collection set symbol.
Is there a Shadowless Legendary Collection?
No. Shadowless is a Base Set printing from 1999 and has nothing to do with this set.
How many holo cards are in Legendary Collection?
19 — numbers 1 to 19, and each of those also exists as a reverse holo. Charizard #3 is the one that matters.
Why is Legendary Collection a good place to start collecting vintage?
Because it is the cheapest route to the original artwork. You get the 1999 Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur pictures on a 2002 card, in a set with no 1st Edition premium to pay and no Shadowless confusion — and the reverse holos give you something genuinely scarce to chase inside it.
What is the most expensive Legendary Collection card?
Charizard #3 as a reverse holo — the reverse holo is the version to look for, and the plain holo sits well below it.
