How to tell what edition your Pokemon cards are
I've been collecting Pokemon cards since I was a kid, and trust me, figuring out the edition is key for collectors. Besides the symbols, first editions tend to have a thicker print quality. So, if it feels high quality and has that '1' symbol, you've got something special. I found a first edition Charizard once and almost lost my mind!

Hot take: honestly, just enjoy your cards. Unless you're planning to sell, the edition doesn't really matter. Gotta love 'em all, right?
Checking the edition of your Pokemon cards is pretty straightforward! Look for a symbol located at the bottom right corner of the card. If it's a first edition, you'll see a little circle with a '1' inside it, right next to the card number. No symbol usually means it's an unlimited edition. Also, for some sets, a little 'E' or 'U' symbol might indicate a promotional or unlimited edition. Keep an eye out for those subtle differences!
