How to tell if a Pokemon card is Second Edition
FYI, if you don't see a '2' symbol, you're not looking at a second edition card. Only the true second editions have that mark, so no '2', no second edition. Simple as that!

Telling the difference is actually easier than you might think! Look for a small '2' symbol right next to the card collection number at the bottom. Also, the original set symbol will be there, but that cheeky little '2' is your golden ticket to knowing it's a second edition.
Honestly, the whole hype around editions is overblown. Just enjoy the art and the game, who cares if it's first or second edition anyway?
