How to Tell First Edition Japanese Pokemon Cards
First things first, to spot a first edition Japanese Pokemon card, look for the 'Edition 1' symbol. This is usually a small '1' inside a circle located directly below the Pokemon illustration on the left side. No symbol, no first edition status. Also, keep in mind the texture and color of the card can sometimes give it away since older cards might have a different feel or hue compared to the newer prints.

Just flip the card over and check the bottom corner! If you see a little '1' in a circle, congrats, you've got a first edition. But honestly, it's all about that symbol, no symbol means it's not a first ed.
Honestly, looking for first edition Japanese Pokemon cards is overrated. The joy's in the game, not just the collectibles!
