Trivia

• Primarily due to Cipher's original two mascots not debuting until the second booster series, this booster series was for a long time the only one where card 49 depicted someone other than one of the Cipher mascots; it wouldn't be until fifteen booster series and nearly four years later for another booster series to have a card 49 depict someone other than a Cipher mascot.
