    shadow less cards also come with a different size font in HP lever plus at the very bottom It will have a year stamp.

    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.

    • @scottvaughn9
      @scottvaughn9 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

      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

    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.

    • @nathanportell
      @nathanportell  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    • @nathanportell

      Yes, everything Jungle and Fossil should have a shadow. Base Set was the only set to experiment with shadowless.

    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!

    • @nathanportell
      @nathanportell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

      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.
