How to Tell if Your Pokemon Card is 1st Edition
One telltale sign of a 1st edition Pokemon card is the '1st Edition' symbol located directly under the card's image on the left side. It looks like a little '1' with the word 'Edition' under it, encircled. If you find that symbol, congrats, you've got yourself a 1st edition card! Also, the card quality sometimes feels a tad different from regular ones, but that's more subjective.

Honestly, people make too big a deal about 1st editions. Yeah, they're cool and all but what's more important is the memories you make while playing. I've got a bunch of non-1st editions that beat any shiny 1st ed in terms of sentimental value. Just enjoy the game, folks!
short answer: look for the '1st Edition' stamp below the pic on the left. no stamp? no 1st edition.
