Pokémon Japanese Base Set (Expansion Pack, 1996) – Complete 102/102 Original Set – Authentic Vintage Cards from Japan

💎 Condition Details

This complete set contains cards ranging from Near Mint (NM) to Moderately Played (MP) and Damaged (DMG). Most cards fall within the Moderately Played to Damaged range, as truly clean copies of early Japanese cards are now extremely difficult to source..

  • Each card is authentic and has been handled with care.
  • Expect edge wear, scratches, possible creases, and whitening consistent with older collections.

Step back into history with the original Pokémon Japanese Base Set, known in Japan as the Expansion Pack (拡張パック) — the legendary 1996 release that started the global Pokémon phenomenon. This was the first Pokémon TCG set ever printed, predating the English Base Set by several months and featuring the earliest artwork, layouts, and the original Japanese text that launched a worldwide legacy.

This listing includes all 102 cards from the original Expansion Pack, making it a complete master set. Every card from Bulbasaur to Mewtwo, plus all Trainers and Energies, is present.

🇯🇵 Authentic Japanese 1996 Release

Printed by Media Factory and released in October 1996, the Expansion Pack introduced the world to Pokémon cards. Unlike later English releases, these early cards often have no rarity symbol, different attack names, and a distinct color tone that reflects the earliest print run style.

These cards represent the very foundation of Pokémon TCG history — a true collector’s milestone that has become increasingly hard to complete, especially within the United States.

Ideal for serious collectors, historical preservation, or restoration projects.

Super comfortable
Style: Standard, Color: Black
This is actually my second pair of these PocBuds, and that alone should say a lot. The comfort is outstanding. The earhook design makes a huge difference—they stay in place no matter what I’m doing, whether I’m working, walking, or moving around a lot. I can wear these for long periods without any discomfort, which hasn’t been my experience with most earbuds. Battery life is another big win. The charging case and battery performance are fantastic. I don’t feel like I’m constantly worrying about charging them, and the digital display is a really nice touch so you always know where you stand. The wireless charging just makes it even more convenient. Sound quality is solid too, with good bass and clear audio for music, videos, and calls. They’ve been reliable across everything I’ve used them for—phone, laptop, and even TV. Overall, these have been a great value and very dependable. The fact that I came back and bought a second pair says everything. Highly recommended.

Great small pair of headphones
Style: Standard, Color: Black
These are great quality for the price. The microphone is okay and the speakers are good. I wouldn't expect ultra headphones at this size or price. They are great for light music/podcast items. I don't use it for calls much but does work. They are comfortable even if I wear for an hour or two. Very good battery life.

Unbeatable secure fit and battery life, despite a minor audio quirk
Style: Standard, Color: Black
Finding earbuds that can survive daily 6:30 AM weightlifting sessions and stay put while I'm moving around the house or out walking the dog has been a challenge. Most standard earbuds slip out the second I lie back on a bench or start sweating. I decided to try these PocBuds specifically for the wrap-around earhook design and the massive promised battery life, and they have largely been a great investment. First Impressions & Unboxing The charging case is bulky—which is expected for an 80-hour battery capacity—but the digital display on the front is incredibly convenient for knowing exactly how much juice you have left. The one immediate downside hits you as soon as you put them in: the default system audio (the automated voice that says "power on" or "connected") sounds very compressed and cheap. It momentarily made me worry about the actual music quality. Real-World Testing Fortunately, once you get past that initial low-budget start-up voice, the actual audio performance is fantastic. The sound quality is clear, and the deep bass profile is exactly what I need to stay focused during a tough workout. More importantly, the earhooks work flawlessly. These earbuds simply do not fall out, whether I'm lifting, bending over to do yard work in the Florida heat, or jogging. The Bluetooth range is also highly reliable; I can leave my phone on my gym bag or patio table and move a good distance away without the connection stuttering. Finally, the battery life is no joke. Between the buds themselves and the charging case, I can go weeks without having to plug this unit into a wall. Pros: • Rock-Solid Fit: The over-ear hooks keep these perfectly secure during heavy movement and exercise. • Impressive Battery Life: The 80-hour claim holds up, and the digital battery display on the case takes the guesswork out of charging. • Quality Audio: Rich sound and surprisingly deep bass for the price point. • Reliable Range: Maintains a solid Bluetooth connection even when walking away from the connected device. Cons: • Cheap System Prompts: The default "Power On/Off" voice sounds robotic and low-quality, which takes away from the otherwise premium feel. • Larger Case: The high-capacity battery means the charging case isn't as pocket-friendly as standard minimalist earbuds. The Verdict If you can overlook the cheap-sounding system voice prompts, these earbuds are a phenomenal value for highly active users. They deliver exactly where it counts: a secure fit that won't budge during a workout, great music quality, and a battery that seems to last forever

I've loved these - great value and performance
Style: Standard, Color: Black
I purchased these almost three years ago, and I've taken them out on runs several times a week since then. I've been very satisfied with the ease of use (I've had no trouble at all connecting to my two Android phones and my Mac), sound quality, and battery life. I thought to put up a review today because one of the over-the-ear loops broke after 34 months of use. I've superglued it and will see how it lasts, but, at this price point, I've gotten more than my money's worth, and I'm ready to buy another pair if the ones I have are done.
