two half-sized decks with no intended strategy and a playmat. The "1st issue" print and a few of the following ("2nd issue") prints have a slightly different design than the standard "unlimited" ("3rd issue") prints. These early prints are generally brighter in color, use a thinner font, have the year 1999 appear twice in the copyright notice, and lack the shadow around the pictures. Because of this, these cards are known as "shadowless" cards among collectors. Since not many prints were printed as "shadowless," these cards are rarer than the "unlimited" print. Cards printed right before the release of Base Set 2 has the year 2000 included in their copyright notices. These cards are known as "4th issue" cards and are also rarer than the "unlimited" print. Certain "4th issue" cards have slightly brighter color than the other prints. Jungle Jungle was the second expansion set in the United States, adding new Pokémon and one Trainer to the bunch, and was released on June 16, 1999. After being a very small set in Japan, the English set started the trend of having alternate holographic and non-holographic editions of rare cards, effectively doubling the number of rares in the set. Some cards featured were Pikachu, Gloom, and Victreebel. Unlike Base Set, it had 2 preconstructed decks. The expansion symbol resembles a Vileplume. The set also contains a total of 64 cards. During the production some of the jungle holos were printed without the jungle symbol. These holos sell for higher than the amount normal jungle holos sell for. All 16 holos from the set have the no symbol error. The rarest card in the first edition jungle set is a 1st edition promo "Ivy Pikachu", which was mistakenly printed with the set. There are rumored to be only one in 10 booster boxes. Fossil Fossil, released on October 8, 1999, is the third expansion set of cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Fossil contains the fewest cards of any standard set in the card game (62). Future sets would often use a gimmick to differentiate their cards from other sets. This set was known for its unfinished holofoil printing error of Zapdos and first TCG appearance of Ditto. Base Set 2 Base Set 2 is a compilation of selected cards from the previous Base Set and Jungle sets. Wizards of the Coast had a trend of releasing these compilation sets
