Lot # 2889: 1999 Pokemon Base Set PSA-Graded Near-Complete Set (86/102) - All PSA GEM MINT 10 Examples Including 11 Shadowless!

Presented is an incredible near-complete set (86 of 102 cards) of 1999 Pokemon Base, entirely graded and encapsulated GEM MINT 10 by PSA. Only cards #1-16 (holographic Pokemon) are missing for completion. The Base set is arguably the most significant Pokemon set as it represents the first of three series released by Wizards of the Coast in 1999, preceding the release of the Base and Jungle sets, which combine to feature the original 151 Pokemon. The Pokemon characters featured in this set are essentially the equivalent to rookie cards in sports sets. In addition to forming the foundation for the original 151-card "Pokedex" series, the Base set is renowned by collectors for its outstanding artwork. Like the other Pokemon issues, cards in this set feature rounded corners, yellow borders, and a blue reverse that prominently displays the iconic Pokemon logo. The Base set can be identified by the absence of a set symbol, which would be located just under the bottom-right corner of the picture. The offered set is primarily composed of cards from the Unlimited Base set, meaning that they are not 1st Edition cards. However, this set does feature 11 Shadowless cards, which are noted below. The remaining 75 cards are all Unlimited. This collection consists of the following: #17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 Shadowless, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 Shadowless, 77 Shadowless, 78, 79 Shadowless, 80 Shadowless, 81 Shadowless, 82, 83, 84 Shadowless, 85, 86 Shadowless, 87 Shadowless, 88 Shadowless, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 Shadowless, 99, 100, 101, and 102. Total 86 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
