The '''Sample Set''' is a small release of cards created in order to show the functionality of the [[e-Reader]] prior to the device's widespread release on December 1, 2001 in Japan and September 2002 in the United States. The English collection of cards contains 10 cards later released within the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}} that were featured during media pre-launch party at the New York Pokémon Center in August 2002. This group is known in Japanese as the ''Application Pack'' (Japanese: '''アプリケーションパック'''). The Japanese collection is split into two groups. The first group consists of 3 cards utilized during the '''Game Boy Advance product announcement meeting''' (Japanese: '''ゲームボーイアドバンスプロダクト発表会''') held during a press conference in Tokyo on March 7, 2001, with the demonstrations given by [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]]. The second group consists of 10 cards utilized during the Nintendo Space World event held on August 24-26, 2001 at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba. English versions exist for some of the Space World cards and were used to demonstrate the e-Reader's functionality | The '''Sample Set''' is a small release of cards created in order to show the functionality of the [[e-Reader]] prior to the device's widespread release on December 1, 2001 in Japan and September 2002 in the United States.

English versions exist for some of the Space World cards and were used to demonstrate the e-Reader's functionality at E3 2002; unlike the Japanese cards, however, these do not feature the 'Sample' set logo in the bottom right corner. These cards were not intended for distribution, but the English cards from the August 2002 press conference and the 3 cards used at the March 2001 press conference have made their way out to the public. The group of Space World sample cards have not yet surfaced. | ||
All 23 cards feature Japanese backs, and all but the initial 3 have the word Sample written on the bottom right-hand corner. Like Japanese cards, the 10 English cards were created by [[MEDIAFACTORY]] in Japan, resulting in alternate translations and exclusive numbering based on the e-Reader card ID number, as none of the e-Card expansions had been released by [[Wizards of the Coast]] before the release of the e-Reader. The Expedition Base Set prints of Machop, Machoke, and Machamp were later produced and released as part of the ''Sample Pack 5 Card Set'' bundled with copies of the e-Reader outside Japan. | All 23 cards feature Japanese backs, and all but the initial 3 have the word Sample written on the bottom right-hand corner.
