Some Pokemon TCG fans have enjoyed the game since its 1996/1998 debut, and now The Pokemon Company International has debuted a new collector's set that hearkens back to the game's earliest days. Known as the TCG Classic, this set comes with a streamlined black toolbox case, three 60-card decks, three sets of deck sleeves, three card boxes, and much more.

The central theme of this new collector's set is focused around the Pokemon TCG's original three starters: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. However, fans can also collect several more reprints of their favorite nostalgic cards in this set, alongside a handful of accessories. However, before players place their orders, it's a good idea to examine what is provided in this set.

Players may be able to find the set cheaper through certain sites, but fans are likely to pay quite a bit out-of-pocket if they're aiming to get this newly released set.
