Actually, gotta correct you there. It's 1999 for the US, not 1998. Those few months make a big difference in the world of collectibles.

1996 for Japan, 1998 for the US. Those were the days, right? Instant nostalgia!

1st edition Pokemon cards hit the shelves in January 1996 in Japan and then made their way to the US in December 1998. The launch of these cards sparked a craze that's still going strong today!
