Cards were sold in randomly distributed packets of eight in the first printing (featuring a blue Topps logo) and later in five for the second printing (with a black Topps logo). 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>. | |||
