The Pokémon Company is going all-out to celebrate 30 years of the iconic franchise and the 30th Celebration TCG set is packed full of iconic cards reprinted in the Classic Collection.
Acting as a subset of the main set, making it the second, given the extensive array of Pikachu cards to collect, Classic Collection cards are one of the biggest chases for collectors in the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration.
For a detailed look at all the Classic Collection cards featured in the 30th Celebration, Insider Gaming has all the details.
All 30th Celebration Classic Collection Cards
