Vol.1 |
Vol.1, short for Volume 1, is a Core Booster that was released on February 4, 1999[1] as the first set in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game. Like all Series 1 sets, Vol.1 cards used the Series 1 card layout, distinguished from later layouts by the lack of a Card Number beneath the card's artwork and the Eye of Anubis Hologram in its lower-right corner.
All but 15 cards have been reprinted in Japanese, and all but seven ("Archfiend Mirror", "Candle of Fate", "Eyearmor", "Fiend's Hand", "Hitodenchak", "LaLa Li-oon", "The Drdek") have been printed in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.
Vol.1 was reprinted as part of the 20th Anniversary Set. This reprint was similar to the much earlier Studio Dice version of some other Series 1 sets in using the copyright notice of later series, but unlike those sets, this reprint also included the Eye of Anubis Hologram on the cards.
