When it comes to collecting Pokémon cards, if you are like us, from time to time you may pick up a new collection or find some loose cards and think, "Wow, this card is amazing! I wonder what set it's from," especially if you are wanting to check the prices on your newfound cards. That's where Pokémon symbols come in.

What are Pokémon Card Set Symbols?
Pokemon card set symbols are found in the bottom left-hand side of your card, and depending on the set, the symbol is always changing. With Pokémon just recently celebrating its 25th anniversary, you can imagine the number of sets that have been released since then.
The Pokémon Company releases between 5-6 sets each year, and with the list continuing to grow each year, the team at TCG Review got together and built out the entire list for every Pokémon card symbol that has been released since 1999, in order from the most recent set, Scarlet & Violet Twilight Masquerade, which will be releasing in May this year, to the Base Set from 1999. Let's get started!
