Just wondering… does a set of 60 cards include the Prize cards and when you beat a Pokémon do you get to keep the Prize cards?

I wonder if this was the last time we see Sugimori’s art of PokéAni’s Jessie & James…

Even if the artwork is completely different, the R in the bottom left of the card itself appears to be the same one as in the original Here Comes Team Rocket artwork. That R symbol also shows up on several other (Rocket-associated) Trainer cards and on all of the Rocket’s Pokémon of the PCG period.
It would surprise me if they actually had the original asset (which originally released in 1997) still around in 2004, but after some fiddling in Photoshop, it looks pretty darn similar.

Huh, yeah, that looks like the same R to me. It’s an interesting choice, given that by this point in the franchise, the bolder, straighter R was well-established as the official Team Rocket logo (seen in the background here, even). I wonder why they didn’t use that one instead.
