First edition Pokemon cards, the ones every collector dreams about, hit the scene back in 1996. That's when the world first got a taste of what would become a global phenomenon. These cards are not just pieces of cardboard; they're like relics of history for Poke-fans!

1996! The year we first got those sweet, sweet first edition Pokemon cards. If you have one, you're holding a piece of Poke-history.

Ah, 1996 - a simpler time and the birth year of first edition Pokemon cards. Trust me, finding one of these in your collection is like striking gold.

Actually, 1999 was when Pokemon cards really exploded internationally, but if we're talking first editions, those bad boys were born in Japan in 1996. Just a little clarification because sometimes people mix up the dates with the global phenomenon part.
