About the 1st Edition printing
The 1st Edition Lt. Surge's Raichu carries the "1st Edition" stamp (a small circular badge on the lower-left of the artwork) and was printed only in the very first run of Gym Heroes. 1st Edition copies are far scarcer than Unlimited and command a large premium — often several times the Unlimited price — so authenticating the stamp and grade is critical.
