Pokémon Fossil — Interactive Checklist
About the 1999 Pokemon Fossil set
Fossil is the third English Pokemon Trading Card Game expansion, released by Wizards of the Coast on October 10, 1999, after Base Set and Jungle. At 62 cards it was the smallest of the early sets, adapted from the Japanese "Mystery of the Fossils" expansion.
The set has a distinctive twin structure: cards #1-15 are holographic rares, and #16-30 are the SAME 15 Pokemon again as non-holo rares (so Aerodactyl is both #1 holo and #16 non-holo). #31-45 are uncommons, #46-57 are commons, and #58-62 are Trainers (Mr. Fuji, Energy Search, Gambler, Recycle and Mysterious Fossil). Fossil delivered the Pokemon TCG debuts of Aerodactyl, Dragonite, Gengar, Lapras, Muk and others.
Every card was printed in two English editions: 1st Edition (with the black "Edition 1" stamp to the left of the art box) and Unlimited (no stamp). Unlike Base Set there is no Shadowless print, so the stamp is the only tell. The 47 non-holo cards also exist in a scarce Australian 1999-2000 "Red Logo" print (copyright reads (c)1999-2000, on glossier stock). The marquee chase cards are the 1st Edition holos – Dragonite, Gengar, Aerodactyl, Lapras, Muk, Articuno and Zapdos.
