About this Deck

A standard Pokémon playing-card deck is an ordinary 54-card poker deck — four suits of A through K plus two Jokers — printed with Pokémon artwork instead of standard pips-only faces. Nintendo released the first ones in 1996; collectors now grade individual cards.

We catalogue these by deck, with a 54-slot framework per deck so every card has a front and back upload spot from day one.
