Digimon Card Meta just received a bunch of old digimon cards, those are first version, or 1st Edition of the card game (English and Japanese). Today we would like to share a bit of history of the beginning time and how the card looks like, what is different…
Digimon was initially known simply as "Digital Monster", inspired by a virtual pet toy named Tamagotchi. In 1997 the Digital Monster Virtual Pet (V-pet) device was introduced as a more "masculine" version of the Tamagochi (which is more popular with female audiences). Later versions of the V-pet are also known as the Digivice. Bandai would later create a franchise of anime, manga, video games, films and trading card game products following the success of the V-pets. The first Digimon cards to be printed (as far as our knowledge goes) were vending machine cards in 1998.
