    Shadowless has copy rights (4) up to 99 whereas Unlimited has 1999 written after three two digit copy right dates.

    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

    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😆🤣

  • @GuitarReviver

      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  Před 5 lety

      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'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  Před 7 lety

      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!

    • @scottvaughn9
      @scottvaughn9 Před 2 lety

      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.

    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?

    • @nathanportell
      @nathanportell  Před 5 lety

      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.

      @ogloc4478 Před 4 lety

    • @troys.6129
      @troys.6129 Před 3 lety +1

      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.

  • @Matt-wq7nn
    @Matt-wq7nn Před 4 lety +2

    Do jungle and fossil set cards all have a shadow? Irregardless of 1st edition or unlimited?

    • @nathanportell
      @nathanportell  Před 4 lety +2

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