The Expansion Pack set opens the Original Series era of the Japanese Pokémon TCG, released on October 20, 1996, and Starter Deck 1996 is a deck from that set. A deck like this is built for learning to play and for getting a ready-made game going out of the box, rather than for cracking packs in search of rare pulls. It is the only sealed product catalogued for the set, which has 102 catalog printings. The set's best-known cards are Holo Rares, with Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur leading its value, so the deck sits in a set with a strong collecting profile as well as a playable one.
