About the 1st Edition printing
The 1st Edition Espeon 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 Neo Discovery. 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.
1st Edition graded prices
Grading a clean 1st edition copy turns roughly $466 into about $15,713 at PSA 10 (~34×) — PSA grades this card gem (10) about 2% of the time. Graded prices are specific to the 1st Edition printing (PriceCharting).
