How to tell the edition of a Pokemon card
Easiest way? If it's got a lil' '1' in a circle, that's a first edition. No symbol? Probably not first edition. Also, look out for set symbols - they're your best clue!

To figure out the edition of a Pokemon card, look for symbols near the bottom right corner of the card. First editions will have a '1' inside a circle, while unlimited editions won't have this symbol. Also, check for set symbols which can vary from set to set, and holographic cards often indicate special editions or rarities.
Honestly, just flip the card over and look for any symbols or numbers at the bottom. The tiny details there are usually the giveaway on what edition you've got. Less hassle, more trading!
