About the 1st Edition printing

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

The 1st Edition Zapdos carries the first-print stamp on the left of the card, from the earliest Fossil 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.

Search term sellers use: 1st edition

1st Edition graded prices

Specific to the 1st edition printing: its own graded-sales ladder, refereed by our sales of this printing where we have five or more at a grade, with PriceCharting as the cross-reference. Each rung says which.

Grading a clean 1st edition copy turns roughly $172 into about $3,610 at PSA 10 — PSA grades this card a 10 about 2% 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.
