How to Identify First Edition Pokemon Cards
First edition Pokemon cards have a special symbol! Look on the lower left corner of the picture on the card. You'll see a little 'Edition 1' symbol there. That's your golden ticket to knowing it's a first edition. Don't mix it up with the base set symbol though, that's different and doesn't mean first edition.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy: Just flip that card and check the bottom corner. If you see '1st Edition' stamped there, you've hit the jackpot. No stamp? No first edition. Keep it simple!
Honestly, finding a first edition isn't as big of a deal as it's made out to be. Sure, they're cool and all, but the joy in Pokemon TCG is in the play, not just the collectibles. Just enjoy the game!
