How to identify these original printings
Series colors help separate the five original issues: blue, red, yellow, green and orange. Every series contains 66 numbered cards and 11 stickers. A card's title and number identify its checklist entry; they do not establish whether a pictured copy is an asterisk printing or another production variation. Confirm the card back and physical condition when comparing actual copies.
Image references use credited external galleries already documented in the IDS checklists. A linked image is not proof of permission to copy or rehost it. If a source image becomes unavailable, the card's text record and detail link remain accessible.
