Inside are three packs: one promo pack holding 3 of the 9 Series 1 promo cards, plus two Pokemon TCG booster packs, and one sticker sheet. No manufacturer pull rates, per box averages, or print run figures have been published for this release, so we do not quote any. There are no autographs in this configuration. Pulls are random and never guaranteed. Factory sealed, shipped from our shop in Wilkes-Barre, PA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeries 1 covers the Kanto, Sinnoh and Alola first partners. The Series 1 promo checklist is 9 cards, numbered MEP 037 through MEP 045: Bulbasaur 037, Charmander 038, Squirtle 039, Turtwig 040, Chimchar 041, Piplup 042, Rowlet 043, Litten 044 and Popplio 045. Those nine sit inside the wider MEP Black Star Promos numbering, so 9 is the Series 1 checklist, not a full set count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Series 1 promos are Holofoil Full Art cards in the illustration rare style. Saboteri is credited on Bulbasaur 037, Turtwig 040 and Popplio 045. We have not verified the illustrator on the other six, so we do not list them. The international release date was March 20, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe promo pack holds 3 of the 9, and which three is random. We make no claim about how that trio is distributed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe connected artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo of the trios line up into one larger picture. Turtwig 040 forms a combined illustration with the MEP promotional Chimchar and Piplup. Popplio 045 forms a combined illustration with the MEP promotional Rowlet and Litten. That makes the Sinnoh three and the Alola three worth chasing as complete panels. We have not confirmed the same for the Kanto three, so we are not claiming it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeries 1 against Series 2 and Series 3\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbering keeps them apart. Series 1 is MEP 037 to 045. Series 2 is MEP 046 to 054. Series 3 is MEP 055 to 063. The nine Series 1 promos do not turn up in the Series 2 or Series 3 boxes, so this is the configuration that produces the Kanto, Sinnoh and Alola first partners in this treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo parallels, variants or numbered print runs are documented for the Series 1 promos in any source we checked. Treat that as none found, not as proof that none exist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe do not name the two booster packs. The sources describing this product do not agree on which sets they are, and the packing list does not name them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished card counts vary between sources, so we do not quote a total set size. Manufacturer sell sheet information, hit rates, and configurations are subject to change and are shown as a guide. Pulls are random and never guaranteed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pokemon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42251424202837,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0550\/6389\/files\/first-partner-illustration-collection-series-1-first-partner-collection-2026.jpg?v=1789142010"}],"url":"https:\/\/breakboss.com\/collections\/set-first-partner-illustration-collection.oembed","provider":"Break Boss Cards \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
