'''Legendary Collection''' is the name given to a reprint set of cards for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] released only in English.

*This is the first English set since {{TCG|Base Set 2}} to not have a 1st Edition run.

*Legendary Collection was akin to a "Base Set 3"; a sequel to {{TCG|Base Set 2}}. This was a bold move for [[Wizards of the Coast]], considering that Base 2 wasn't well-received by the Pokémon TCG community in general. Many believe that the unpopularity of Base Set 2 was the reason why Legendary Collection wasn't called "Base Set 3". Ironically, however, Legendary Collection ended up becoming one of Wizards' more successful Pokémon TCG sets.

*Like Base Set 2, Legendary Collection was a combination of cards from previous sets, specifically {{TCG|Base Set}}, {{TCG|Jungle}}, {{TCG|Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Team Rocket}}. Even one {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|Black Star Promo}} made its way into this set: {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mewtwo|12}}.

*To appeal to players, Legendary Collection was the first Pokémon set that was actually built for tournaments. The pack set up has Pokémon of the same type in it, a very useful setup for Sealed Draft tournaments. The set was also built with the {{TCG|Modified}} tournament format in mind, so old cards that would help modern Modified decks made the cut while considerably broken cards from the past (like {{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}) were kept out.

*To appeal to collectors, Legendary Collection was the first set to include two new trends for the Pokémon TCG - reverse-holographic refractors and {{TCG|Box Topper}}s. Wizards took a hint from Magic and made a reverse-holo refractor card for every single card in the set. This trend carried over with [[Nintendo]]'s occupation of the TCG and has featured in every expansion since. Box toppers, jumbo-sized versions of a number of cards from the set (4 of them in this case), were also inserted in every box.

*The {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}} was originally supposed to be released in May 2002, but it was pushed back to September because Nintendo wanted its release to coincide with the release of the [[e-Reader]] device.
