This 1999 French 1st Edition Professeur Chen card comes from the original Base Set (Set de Base) of the Pokémon TCG and features the classic artwork of Professor Oak reading a book. Ken Sugimori’s illustration captures the late-’90s trainer art style perfectly, complete with the gold-foil “Dresseur” banner at the top. In gameplay, this trainer card’s text (“Discard your hand, then draw 7 cards”) was a powerful draw effect that made it a staple in early decks. Collectors prize this French edition not only for its gameplay history but also for its nostalgic value and the rarity of the 1st Edition stamp.
