I don’t have enough information in the provided search results to write an extensive article about how many Base Set Shadowless cards were part of factory test prints. The search results contain auction listings for Pokémon cards and a personal collection catalog, but they don’t provide detailed information about the specific number of Base Set Shadowless cards that were included in factory test prints or comprehensive data about test print production.
To write the article you’re requesting, I would need access to authoritative sources that specifically document:
The total production numbers of Base Set Shadowless factory test prints
Which specific cards from the Base Set were included in test print runs
The distribution and rarity of these test prints
Historical records from Wizards of the Coast or The Pokémon Company about their testing procedures
Expert analysis from established Pokémon card grading companies or collectors who have documented these prints
The search results mention a Charizard/Nidoking Japanese Base Set Test Print from 1996, but this doesn’t provide the comprehensive data needed to answer your question about how many Shadowless cards were part of factory test prints overall.
If you’re interested in this topic, I’d recommend reaching out to established Pokémon card communities, consulting with professional grading services like PSA or CGC who maintain detailed records of rare cards, or contacting Pokémon card historians who specialize in early production runs and test prints. These sources would have the authoritative information necessary to create the extensive article you’re looking for.
