The oldest Pokémon cards hail from the original Japanese release, the Pokémon Trading Card Game Base Set, which debuted in 1996. This set introduced classics like the iconic Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. If you're looking for the oldest of the old, keep your eyes peeled for these gems!
Honestly, everyone always talks about the Base Set, but don't forget about the Jungle and Fossil expansions. They're also from way back in 1999, which is ancient in Pokémon years.
