About the 1st Edition printing

Which object this page prices — and how to tell it from the standard Blastoise.

The 1st Edition Blastoise carries the first-print stamp on the left of the card, from the earliest Base print run before the unlimited reprint. Scarcer than unlimited by construction and priced as a separate product at every grade.

How to tell · bottom-left of the illustration window

A black “EDITION 1” stamp sits to the left of the picture, between the illustration and the card's lower text. No stamp means it is not 1st Edition, whatever else the listing says.
