What does a first edition Pokémon card look like?
First edition Pokémon cards have a specific mark that sets them apart: look for a tiny, black 'Edition 1' symbol located directly below the bottom left corner of the Pokémon image on the card. This symbol is your golden ticket to identifying a true first edition! Also, don't confuse it with the shadowless cards; those are different because they lack the drop shadow on the right side of the image box but might not necessarily be first edition.

Easy peasy - first edition Pokémon cards shout it from the rooftops with a '1st Edition' stamp beneath the picture on the left. If it ain't got the stamp, it ain't first edition. Simple as that!
Honestly, not all that. Most first edition cards are just regular cards with a tiny stamp. People go nuts over them, but unless you're a hardcore collector or looking to sell, it's just another Pokémon card.
