2000 Topps Pokemon TV Animation Edition Series 2 trading cards are the second in a three-set run highlighting the cartoon iteration of the popular franchise. The foundation laid by the first set in 1999 is still there, but this time there are some added inserts to chase.
2000 Topps Pokemon TV Animation Edition Series 2 Checklist Details
In total, the base set consists of 72 cards. However, it’s broken down into three general sections, each with the own theme and design.
The majority of the set highlights different Pokemon characters. For this part of the set, the checklist picks up at #77, where Series 1 left off. And wouldn’t you know, these card numbers match up with the corresponding Pokedex number. Card fronts have an illustration of the character while backs give info like Pokemon types, their first television appearance and other background facts.
Twenty-five episodes of the Pokemon: Indigo League each get their own cards. Each of these has an “EP” prefix for the card number. These are like standard TV trading cards with an image on the front and synopsis on the back.
Characters are the focus of five Heroes and Villains cards (#HV1-H5) while a checklist rounds out the base set.
All 72 cards have two parallels. Foil are the most common, landing one per pack in most varieties. There are also Rainbow Foil cards that can be found in packs marked “”Special Collector’s Edition.” These give off a brighter shine than the dark metallic look of standard Foil cards.
2000 Topps Pokemon Series 2 Inserts
Unlike Series 1, 2000 Topps Pokemon TV Animation Edition Series 2 has three additional insert sets available in packs.
Animation Stick-Ons accomplish two things. First off, they’re stickers. Backs also double as puzzle pieces. These go together to form a collage of several popular Pokemon including Pikachu, Charmander and Blastoise. Ten cards make up the set with one landing approximately every six packs.
Five Clear cards (1:9 packs) showcase Pokemon on acetate stock. This makes them feel like plastic and are see through where there’s no image present.
Die-Cut Embossed cards round out the in-pack inserts. These are the toughest pulls, falling 1:12 packs. These are instantly recognizable due to their different shapes.
Rounding out the 2000 Topps Pokemon TV Animation Edition Series 2 checklist are five oversized Chrome cards. These are only available in tins as a bonus in each.
