Butterfree #12 from the Topps TV Animation Edition Blue Logo Series 1 Pokémon card set is a collectible trading card featuring the Butterfree Pokémon. This card is part of the first series of Pokémon trading cards produced by Topps in 1999, which includes 90 cards in total: 76 Pokémon cards, 13 character cards, and a checklist card. Each of these 90 cards also has two foil card versions (silver and rainbow) in their main United States distributions.

The Butterfree card, numbered 12, is one of the Pokémon cards in this series. It is notable for its connection to the Pokémon TV series, as indicated by the “TV Animation” designation. This card specifically relates to the episode “Bye Bye Butterfree,” which is the 20th episode of the first Pokémon animated series. The card features Butterfree in its animated form, capturing a moment from the episode.

The blue logo indicates that this is a first printing of the card. In the United States, there were four different printings of this set, distinguished by a blue, black, green, or red Topps logo. The blue logo signifies the first printing, where all cards had a smooth texture with no debossings, and the foil cards were smooth as well. The oval Nintendo seal is also present on these cards.

The card’s design follows the typical layout of the Topps Pokémon Trading Card series 1, with a Pokémon illustration on the front and text on the back providing information such as the Pokémon’s name, type, and a brief description. The text on the back may include errors or inconsistencies, such as the misspelling of Jessie’s name as “Jesse” and the incorrect listing of Charmeleon’s first appearance.

This card, like others in the set, was sold in randomly distributed packets of five and eight cards, with one card in each packet being a randomly chosen foil card. The foil versions of the Butterfree card include both silver and rainbow versions, adding to the collectibility of the card.

The blue logo version of this card is particularly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance as the first edition of the set. The card’s condition can significantly affect its value, with near mint (NM) cards being highly prized.
