I'm trying to figure out where a very particular kind of basic energy card came from.
This isn't a regular "Base Set" energy card. If you look at the copyright, after the "GAMEFREAK", it says "©1999-2000".
1st Edition Shadowless:

has the 1st Edition mark, plus the first set of copyright years has "..., 98, 99 Nintendo", and the second copyright line is just "©1999".
Shadowless:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ExbcbA6UcAACLPN?format=jpg&name=large
still has the first set of copyright years as "..., 98, 99 Nintendo", followed by "©1999".
Regular Base Set:

has the first copyright years as "..., 98 Nintendo", followed by "©1999".
The last thing to note is that the card number is still "XX/102", which means it's gotta be from Base Set. I have thousands of energy cards from the classic sets. But I've only found 5 of these "1999-2000" energy cards (1 Fire, 2 Lightning, 2 Water).
Anyone else have any knowledge about these?
