This printing's own raw series, its past readings brought onto the current value above (at most 1.5×, the rest over its last stretch) so it joins without a jump. The line is the running level, so a single unusually cheap or dear sale does not spike it. Hover any day for its price on the line.

About the 1st Edition printing

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

The 1st Edition Dark Blastoise carries the first-print stamp on the left of the card, from the earliest Team Rocket 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
