The Base Set Booster Pack is a single sealed booster pack from Base Set, the Wizards of the Coast era expansion released for the English-language Pokémon TCG on January 9, 1999. A booster pack is the basic way to open cards from a set, so this one exists to be cracked for a random pull from the original 102-card run. Base Set has 16 sealed products in all, among them decks, booster boxes and other booster packs, which makes the single pack the smallest unit of the line.
What's inside Base Set Booster Pack
The Base Set Booster Pack is one sealed pack that holds a total of 11 cards, drawn from the 102 cards of the Base Set run.
Base Set chase cards
Base Set is opened for its Rare holographic starters, and the Base Set Booster Pack can yield any of them. By value, Charizard leads, followed by Blastoise, Venusaur, Mewtwo and Alakazam, all Rare. The set has 102 official cards, and 16 of them sit in the chase tier. Value is heavily concentrated: those five cards account for 67 percent of the set's total card value, so a pack's worth rests largely on whether one of them turns up. Base Set ranks 14th of 16 comparable sets from its era by overall card value.
