Wartortle — Base #42, Shadowless printing

The shadowless printing itself, not the standard card.

Raw shadowless · near mint

Not enough clean sales

Updated

Our shadowless raw figure sits below the median of 8 PSA 1–3 sales of this printing ($100), and a slabbed low grade does not outsell a near-mint raw copy — so it is withheld until clean raw sales settle it.

About the Shadowless printing

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

The Shadowless Wartortle 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the Shadowless Wartortle (Base #42) worth?

We do not hold a price for the Shadowless Wartortle yet. The standard printing is $5 raw, but a shadowless is a different product and that figure does not apply to it.

How do I tell the Shadowless Wartortle from the standard one?

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.

What is a PSA 10 Shadowless Wartortle worth?

About $374. PSA grades this card a 10 about 12% of the time.
