This is the set that started it all. Base Set introduced the Pokémon TCG to the United States in 2019, kicking off one of the most popular hobbies in the world with a killer selection of cards. With artwork by legends like lead Pokémon artist and designer Ken Sugimori and the King of Pokémon himself, Mitsuhiro Arita, Base Set cards are still remembered today as some of the most iconic collectibles ever produced. Arita's Charizard, in particular, has had an impact on the hobby for years, setting the pattern for cards featuring the Generation One Fire-breathing beast as the most collectible pull in most sets that feature it. Base Set has been reimagined many times with sets including Base Set 2, Legendary Collection, and XY: Evolutions, but the original remains a uniquely sought-after product. Collectors can head over to Heritage Auctions right now to bid on a booster box of this legendary Pokémon TCG set.
