Where to look on a Neo Discovery card
1234- 1 1st Edition stamp. Only the first print run has it. No stamp means Unlimited (the later, larger print).
- 2 Set symbol: the Neo Discovery symbol.
- 3 Card number and rarity: the number out of 75, then the rarity symbol (circle common, diamond uncommon, star rare).
- 4 Copyright line: the years and company names show when the card was printed.
The cards collectors look for
Under each card: how many were printed (never published) and how many each grading company has graded, by version. The number in brackets is how many got a perfect 10. Graded counts are not the number that exist: most copies were never graded.
Printed: never published. Wizards of the Coast did not release print runs, so any exact figure is a guess.
Graded so far: 7,278 copies across PSA, CGC and TAG.

The packs and the box
Neo Discovery booster packs came in 4 different designs. The design is just the artwork on the wrapper: every design holds cards from the same set. Booster boxes held 36 packs. Use these to recognise genuine packaging, then check the seals with our sealed packs and boxes guide.

Go deeper: Espeon and Umbreon
The two Eevee evolutions from Gold and Silver are holos 1/75 (Espeon) and 13/75 (Umbreon). Umbreon has since become one of the most collected characters of all, which keeps interest in this card high.
Go deeper: Unown
Unown come in letter shapes. Neo Discovery has several, and Unown [A] is a holo (14/75). More letters followed in later Neo sets, so some collectors chase the whole alphabet.
Go deeper: a Pokemon-heavy set
71 of the 75 cards are Pokemon, with only 4 Trainers and no Energy cards.
Go deeper: holo and non-holo twins
Some holos have a non-holo twin with the same artwork. Tyranitar is 12/75 as a holo and 31/75 without the shine; Unown [A] is 14/75 and 33/75. The other Unown letters in the set are D, E, F, I, M, N, O and U.
Every card in Neo Discovery
All 75 cards, in order. Under each: number, version and how many have been graded (PSA + CGC + TAG, all versions). Card images via TCGdex and pokemontcg.io.
