shadow less cards also come with a different size font in HP lever plus at the very bottom It will have a year stamp. shadow less 1995,96,98,99 where shadow has 1995,96,98
Why does the English version raise alarms, I bought my Pokemon cards from a registered Pokemon dealership and my 1st editions have the shadow and also I bought them all in 1999. Please explain.
If your cards are legit, I believe this means you have 1st editions from the Fossil or Jungle sets (not the Base sets). 1st editions for Fossil and Jungle DID have a shadow AND came in English AND were also from 1999.
Came to this video for an explanation while looking into the value of my first edition machamp. That statement at 1:02 scared the daylights out of me lol
does the first edition machamp also have 1995, 96, 98, 99 or is it just 1995, 96, 98? mine's in a different language and I've heard somewhere that the uk first editions have a different format for how the dates are labelled
Blue Tiger 420 I may be interested in some, PM me through my Instagram if you like. (Linked on channel) or just search my name. For online sales eBay is usually your best bet. Pictures say 1000+ words!
Thanks for this video! It was very helpful! I recently just found all my old Pokémon cards and found my charizard. I would like to buy some but don’t know what to look for. Can you explain to me why the unlimited set is better than the base set 2? Thanks. Really appreciate it.
Base Set 2 was a reprint set with a different holo pattern. It included cards from base set, jungle and fossil. They are newer cards and the holo is a little nicer, but not as rare as the original prints.
I have so many base set 2 as well. When I was a kid I thought they were way cooler cuz of the holo and I thought 2nd edition was better then the normal cards. Young and dumb
It's crazy man 7 years later I'm just now seeing this post I also have two different base sets completed Shadow and shadow les but the price now is 3 to 7 k for a 7
I'm still looking to get a Shadowless, as I've poured a ton of cash into a 1st Edition Miscut Charizard (PSA 4), the one that sold on eBay for $1k. Hit my wallet hard, but never had seen such a Miscut Charizard.. Quite unique and well worth it!
Yea they can be quite expensive and unfortunately are out of a lot of collectors price range. I think they have adjusted to a "normal" price nowadays. Even though they are high if the price changes I think it would only go up!
Those are FOSSIL or JUNGLE edition with stap… not the First BASE SET.. Base Set Shadowless Fossil with Shadow Jungle with Shadow Rocket with Shadow Gym challenge Shadow All those have a LOGO STAMP first edition….. but only BASE SET with Logo stap was the only one SHADOWLESS….
Did you know there was acually 4 prints!?after unlimited it was 1999-2000 base set.and if you compare a card from both sets the 1999-2000 base set is a little lighter.but how you can tell is at the bottom it won’t say 1999 like unlimited it will say 1999-2000.Sorry got a little crazy😆🤣
Probably a decent amount, I didn’t know there was such a thing as a shadowless machamp. But all of them are 1st edition so who knows how much value it being shadowless adds
Ignatius Martin there is a slight variation in the stamps printed. They have the standard, thick, and then a “shadow” stamp. I may do a video on them all soon!
Hey Nathan Question my husband has a couples of Pokémon’s that’s have a stamp that says 1edition but they have a shadow on the right side. Could you help me out are they legit?
If they are machamp holo cards then then they are real, but sadly not worth much. there was a printing error that caused all machamp base set reprints to have a first edition stamps. so the ya rent really first edition cards. probably only worth around ten bucks in the us.
Are these Shadowless cards only for the first original wave of Pokemon cards or are there Shadowless 1st Editions for ever single year of Pokemon cards up to today?
The shadowless cards were only a thing for the proginal base set of cards. They were the "transition" period between 1st edition base set and unlimited base set.
So i know the 1999 Charizard first edition is a good one, but i have someone willing to sell me a 1999 Charizard base for $300 it isnt graded, but is super nice condition, and centered perfect. I know nothing about these i collect Hockey is it the regular base worth that
a PSA 5 shadowless 1st edition charizard isn't around 600 usd. Where did you get yours? Everywhere you go they will run from $1,000-$1,500. I usually check the PSA ID number to check how much each grade is worth
Nathan can you point me to a card to purchase? Looking for a base set but not first edition. Please and thanks! Worried about scams and I trust you can link me to a good sale
Hey, I know your comment was 7 months ago so I'm a little late but are you still looking? I have a few unlimited. I can't remember off the top of my head if they're shadowless or not but they are in really good condition.
yea i have a 1st edition eevee actualy dosent have the stamp but its like 20 years old tho it was stuck in this box for years then i saw a video saying its rare heres how it looks www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Eevee-55-Team-Rocket/dp/B0062DQVUC/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_img_7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5CD8TT3CPC8VSH71DKMP it says its the first edition version of this card tho i still dont know all ik is its old and i was like huh i thought it was trash but now it sounds like its 1k-500$ but no its like 5$ and mines has a small scratch so its like 4$ but i guess not bad and with my small scratch its still in good condiition its like 4$ so idk what they mean rare but good for a common you said they were 15-25 cents and 50 cents for your 20 yr old card also if your wondering what my most expensive card is i have an ultra rare esoeon secret rare GX and its like 36-50$ on amazon look www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B06WRNH284/ref=dp_olp_NEW_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=NEW not as expensive as other ppls cards still decent and this darkrai for like 35-50$ i though it was 60 but idk if i was looking at the wrong thing so yea
Heh. Back when charizards were worth 30-40 dollars💀
I have the base set shadow one how much is that worth now? Around a psa 6-7
@@dominicmozdzen8947o unless someone buys it😂
thanks for clarity. was watching lots of videos trying to figure out the differences and rarity
shadow less cards also come with a different size font in HP lever plus at the very bottom It will have a year stamp.
shadow less 1995,96,98,99 where shadow has 1995,96,98
Shadowless has copy rights (4) up to 99 whereas Unlimited has 1999 written after three two digit copy right dates.
Why does the English version raise alarms, I bought my Pokemon cards from a registered Pokemon dealership and my 1st editions have the shadow and also I bought them all in 1999.
Please explain.
First edition non American cards will have a shadow
If your cards are legit, I believe this means you have 1st editions from the Fossil or Jungle sets (not the Base sets). 1st editions for Fossil and Jungle DID have a shadow AND came in English AND were also from 1999.
@1:02 Don't forget that the first edition Machamp isn't shadowless, that's the *only* exception.
Came to this video for an explanation while looking into the value of my first edition machamp. That statement at 1:02 scared the daylights out of me lol
does the first edition machamp also have 1995, 96, 98, 99 or is it just 1995, 96, 98? mine's in a different language and I've heard somewhere that the uk first editions have a different format for how the dates are labelled
A definite must watch. Thank you
So is the orignal like the veru first one ever are rhey most valaubale ehichcone is it first set or unilimited
Beautiful cards. I've been trying to collect every variant of the 1st edition Charizard.
i have a 1st edition German Charizard I’m trying to sell. Pulled it out of a pack when I was like 10yo
The price now is way higher.......
ive heard of a non shadowless 1st edtion charziard in english, but still have yet to see one. have you?
What is the value of a shadow 1 edition card?
What is the best way to sell them I have just about all the first edition one??????????

Thanks for making this video even though it's old. I honestly think the original base set looks better

NathanPortell thanks so much for your help!

It's crazy man 7 years later I'm just now seeing this post I also have two different base sets completed Shadow and shadow les but the price now is 3 to 7 k for a 7
there is also a 4th print which i believe is like a UK version maybe? idk but on the bottom right it will have 1999 2000 instead of just 1999
Do jungle and fossil set cards all have a shadow? Irregardless of 1st edition or unlimited?
Yes, everything Jungle and Fossil should have a shadow. Base Set was the only set to experiment with shadowless.
nathanportell thank you 👍
I have several 1st edition with shadows that came from packs. What does this mean
Only base had shadowless
Or if you really do have English Base 1st Edition with shadows, they’re fake.
Nate so back when I was 9 and bought packs from the store they were fake packs. That sounds unlikely
Considering English Base Set 1st Edition wasn’t printed with shadows, it’s the only answer.
@@chaseallen4352 I have the same thing bro
I'm still looking to get a Shadowless, as I've poured a ton of cash into a 1st Edition Miscut Charizard (PSA 4), the one that sold on eBay for $1k. Hit my wallet hard, but never had seen such a Miscut Charizard.. Quite unique and well worth it!
Yea they can be quite expensive and unfortunately are out of a lot of collectors price range. I think they have adjusted to a "normal" price nowadays. Even though they are high if the price changes I think it would only go up!
I am selling a shadowless pikachu & charmander. Not sure of Psa but will get back to you
What should I think if I found a base set charizard with shadow and 1st edition stamp?
So if I see a card on ebay with a first edition stamp and a shadow it's fake?
Those are FOSSIL or JUNGLE edition with stap… not the First BASE SET..
Base Set Shadowless
Fossil with Shadow
Jungle with Shadow
Rocket with Shadow
Gym challenge Shadow
All those have a LOGO STAMP first edition….. but only BASE SET with Logo stap was the only one SHADOWLESS….
Did you know there was acually 4 prints!?after unlimited it was 1999-2000 base set.and if you compare a card from both sets the 1999-2000 base set is a little lighter.but how you can tell is at the bottom it won’t say 1999 like unlimited it will say 1999-2000.Sorry got a little crazy😆🤣
where is rarest 4th issue (UK) ?
Are the 3 version all release as the same time or the first editions are the very first one release? Just asking.😌
I have a brand new, factory sealed, 1st edition holographic shadowless Machamp card. I wonder how much I can get for it.
Probably a decent amount, I didn’t know there was such a thing as a shadowless machamp. But all of them are 1st edition so who knows how much value it being shadowless adds
What if it’s a first edition with a shadow?????
What is a thick stamp
Ignatius Martin there is a slight variation in the stamps printed. They have the standard, thick, and then a “shadow” stamp. I may do a video on them all soon!
@@nathanportell please do ! Also where can i find the thick stamp. Which is the best
So which Charizard is worth more, Base set Unlimited or Base set 2??
so shadowless first edition is only for english cards?
You need to do more research between shadowless vs shadowless version.
how can you tell if a Japanese card is 1st edition or not?
No rarity symbol
How do you identify the grade on a card ?
Hey Nathan
Question my husband has a couples of Pokémon’s that’s have a stamp that says 1edition but they have a shadow on the right side. Could you help me out are they legit?
If they are machamp holo cards then then they are real, but sadly not worth much. there was a printing error that caused all machamp base set reprints to have a first edition stamps. so the ya rent really first edition cards. probably only worth around ten bucks in the us.
why do these cards have a green boarder?
Is it still possible to get a first edition by buying packages and boxes? Or can I just get them from ebay now?
First Editions went away with the Skyridge set about 20 years ago. No more 1st editions for English cards after that!
I have a non holo. Is that worth something?
Are these Shadowless cards only for the first original wave of Pokemon cards or are there Shadowless 1st Editions for ever single year of Pokemon cards up to today?
The shadowless cards were only a thing for the proginal base set of cards. They were the "transition" period between 1st edition base set and unlimited base set.
Damn i have a 1999 normal Charizard and it's has many scratches so i have no value into my card
So i know the 1999 Charizard first edition is a good one, but i have someone willing to sell me a 1999 Charizard base for $300 it isnt graded, but is super nice condition, and centered perfect. I know nothing about these i collect Hockey is it the regular base worth that
How much is shadowless squirrel worth? 63/102
with stamp or without? check E-bay SOLD listings.
The text on the shadow card is also different and the symbols
Am I late for the Charizard giveaway?
You’re right on time
a PSA 5 shadowless 1st edition charizard isn't around 600 usd.
Where did you get yours?
Everywhere you go they will run from $1,000-$1,500.
I usually check the PSA ID number to check how much each grade is worth
Symmetrical Origami this video is 3 years old these cards go up in value
You know, theres a way to identify a 4th print also. I haven't seen a 4th print Charizard so far.
Shadowless has Purple Power Burst Lines in the Background, Unlimited has Black Power Burst Lines.
I have two shadowless unlimited charizards so how much do they sale for and how hard are they to find.
We're can I buy the Charizard shadowless not 1st edition for 100?
I just bought 1 on eBay that's in excellent condition for $125 on eBay
there is also 4th print unlimited
Very easy to understand...thanks
Who won the giveaway? you gave away a Charizard like wtf, great video helped me out a lot
Nathan can you point me to a card to purchase? Looking for a base set but not first edition. Please and thanks! Worried about scams and I trust you can link me to a good sale
Hey, I know your comment was 7 months ago so I'm a little late but are you still looking? I have a few unlimited. I can't remember off the top of my head if they're shadowless or not but they are in really good condition.
lol that venusaur I found as a kid is worth almost 1000 now wonder if my sister still has it
I have 2 shadowless one psa 7 and the other in played but good condition.
They don't go any lower than 200 now and days
I have a first edition charizard from when I was a kid. Probably a PSA 3 unfortunately.
Great video liked 👍🏻
Thank you Nathan!
I sold my holo Charizard first ed in 2003 for $25.
That hurts even me
my teacher gave me a "normal" one and its my most prized thing i own
If it’s a PSA 6 it’s $400 👍
You missed the year at the bottom
