Neo Genesis

Neo Genesis dropped in 2000 as the second installment of the Neo series, right in the heart of the WOTC vintage era when Wizards of the Coast was still printing the core foundation of modern Pokémon TCG. This was the era that built the hobby's infrastructure—a 111-card set that landed when the market was still figuring out what rarity meant and what cards would matter. It sits squarely in that vintage WOTC window that commands consistent premiums today. Neo Genesis isn't a reprint line and wasn't designed to chase one specific card—it's part of the threadbare stretch when sealed product scarcity and era nostalgia do most of the talking. Condition matters hard here because there's no modern reprinting to fall back on. For speculators watching vintage WOTC movement, Neo Genesis is in the tier where supply is genuinely finite and collector demand stays steady.
