Proof of the Pokémon franchise's international appeal arrives with this factory-sealed 1999 Pokémon French language 1st Edition base set booster box. Printed with "Edition 1" on the box lid, this long-secluded package emerges 25 years after its origin in solid shape, with an intact Wizards of the Coast wrapper and just a small tear on one corner of the box. A rare prize to be sure, this seldom offered French box is valued in the range of luxury automobiles. Vital statistics are 36 packs in this box with 11 cards per pack and stated odds of pulling a "holographiques (holofoil)" card as "1:33 cards." All first edition Pokémon cards, packs and boxes are greatly prized, and this ultra-rare French edition is the equivalent of landing a whale.

Opening Bid $7,500.
