RLL Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I’m not a Pokémon collector so please forgive me if this is an obvious question. This booster has been sitting unopened in a blister pack for two decades. The back shows (C) 1999 Wizards of the Coast, but there is no “1st Edition” logo that I’ve seen on other booster packs from that first set. Is this from the “Unlimited” set? Thanks for any help!

HomeGrownPoke1 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Yes this is a unlimited pack you have. The 1st edition stamp on the pack art would be beside the word GAME and the 3 playing cards. A quick Google search will show you an example of a 1st edition pack. Very nice item you have BTW. It's a keeper for sure since it's charizard pack art work. Brings a little more money. It may also be a shadowless pack. Maybe others can chime in with any insight on this. I'm not too sure what to look for when it comes to figuring that out... Edited February 2, 2023 by HomeGrownPoke1 Loading.... KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The font on the bottom differs and the “trading card game” label is just below “Pokémon” on the unlimited packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator PaulS. Posted February 3, 2023 Administrator Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hello, The difference is due to the fact that your pack is from the earlier "Shadowless" print run, making it much more valuable. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman399 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 @RLL as Paul mentioned this is from the shadowless print run however as it's only a short crimp (where the top and bottom of the pack are sealed) it's not guaranteed to be shadowless as part of the print ended up being unlimited.

I’m not going to open it to find out! 😂 Iceman399 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
