Pokémon Base Set 1st Edition — Sealed Venusaur Booster Pack (Italian)

A sealed Italian booster pack of the Base Set 1st Edition with the Venusaur artwork, one of the three original wrapper designs of the set. Printed in 2000 by Wizards of the Coast, it belongs to the first Italian printing of the Pokémon TCG and to the small group of packs that introduced the game to the Italian market.

Inside are 11 collectible cards, drawn from a set that contains the most iconic names of the hobby's founding years: Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur, together with red-cheeked Pikachu, Clefairy, Ninetales, Chansey and the rest of the original WOTC roster. The pack retains its original seal and has not been weighed, a distinction that has become central to how vintage sealed material is traded.

Single sealed Base Set 1st Edition packs in Italian are increasingly difficult to source in presentable condition, and the Venusaur artwork completes the trio that collectors display together with Charizard and Blastoise. Whether kept as a sealed asset, used to complete an art set or held as a piece of the game's Italian origins, its scarcity is a function of time rather than of fashion: the supply can only decrease.
