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. Additionally, alternate versions of the English Hoppip and Pichu were later released again at E3 2002, updating to the Wizards {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}} layout and translations but maintaining the Japanese back. These later releases all removed the Sample logo from the card fronts. As they were intended for demonstration, many of the cards were hole-punched to be held on chains for the ease of those doing the demonstrations. | All 23 cards feature Japanese backs, and all but the initial 3 have the word Sample written on the bottom right-hand corner.

The initial 3 Sample cards, Pichu, Pikachu, and Eevee, used at the March 2001 press conference are all illustrated by [[CR CG gangs]] and contain various elements of the Neo Era card design, due to their creation and display before the end of Neo related releases. For example, the three cards all feature a level, none of them have ''Sample'' written on the card, and the Baby Evolution rule on Pichu features the Neo Era artwork for Pikachu in the e-Card design. The 10 Sample cards used at Nintendo Space World 2001 all feature artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]] and feature the normal e-Card template. Also distributed to those who attended the event was {{TCG|P Promotional cards|P Promotional}} {{TCG ID|P Promo|Celebi|6}}, which was included within the ''Nintendo Spaceworld 2001 Official Guidebook''. The 10 cards were all hole-punched and kept on chains in kiosks set up for demonstrations | The initial 3 Sample cards, Pichu, Pikachu, and Eevee, used at the March 2001 press conference are all illustrated by [[CR CG gangs]] and contain various elements of the Neo Era card design, due to their creation and display before the end of Neo related releases.
