The '''Best of Game''' is the name of a special collection of cards for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], commemorating some of the best cards to be produced by [[Wizards of the Coast]]. | |||
=Set size= | |||
*Best of Game contains 9 cards | |||
[[Image:bestsymbol.gif|frame|The symbol for Best of Game is a starburst with "BEST" across it.]] | |||
=Release date= | |||
*These cards were released between December 2002 and July 2003 | |||
=Trivia= | |||
*These cards were released through BattleZone tournaments and were essentially a "parting gift" to the fans of the TCG, as Wizards knew their licence to produce the cards was to terminate. | |||
*Despite the collection being made to commemorate some of the best playable cards, four new cards that had never been released in English before made their way into the set. Rocket's Scizor, Rocket's Sneasel, Dark Ivysaur and Dark Venusaur were Promotional cards in Japan (Dark Ivysaur and Dark Venusaur were also later released in [[Pokémon Web (TCG)|Pokémon Web]]) and their release was not expected (as with many Japanese Promotional cards), so this was a surprise for competitors. | |||
| | *While the four new cards remained plain, the other cards received a special reverse-holographic treatment. | ||
( | *These cards also had two versions – a "Winner" version and "non-Winner" version (with the exception of Professor Elm as it was a delegate Promotional card). The "Winner" versions have a gold foil "''Winner''" stamp in the bottom right corner of the character art and were available in tournaments a month or so in advance of their "non-Winner" counterparts. The "non-Winner" version has no stamp. | ||
