Cards were sold in randomly distributed packets of eight or five cards. In the first printing, the cards featured a blue Topps logo, while in the second printing, the logo was black. One card in each packet would be a randomly chosen foil card. Foil cards from the second printing had a sandpaper finish<ref>[http://pkmncollectors.livejournal.com/16309222.html pkmncollectors: Software for cataloguing Pokémon Topps Cards]</ref>. Silver foil cards with a smooth finish but a black logo were also produced.
