About the Shadowless printing

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

The Shadowless Metapod is from the print run between 1st Edition and unlimited: no drop shadow to the right of the picture frame, thinner HP type. Fewer were printed than unlimited, and the market treats it as its own card.

How to tell · right-hand edge of the illustration window

On the WOTC printings (1999–2002): no drop shadow down the right side of the picture frame, thinner HP text, and lighter colour. Every 1st Edition Base card is also shadowless — the stamp is what separates the two.

Grading a clean shadowless copy turns roughly $5 into about $178 at PSA 10 — PSA grades this card a 10 about 26% of the time, a census rate that overstates a fresh submission’s odds. Where a range is shown it is the recent low–high sale spread at that grade.
