How can you tell a Pokemon card is 1st edition?
You can tell if a Pokemon card is 1st edition by looking for a specific symbol on the card. This symbol is usually found directly below the bottom left corner of the Pokemon illustration, and it looks like a little '1' inside a circle. If you see this symbol, you've got yourself a 1st edition Pokemon card! Another tell is the text on the left side of the card will have 'Edition 1' printed on it in some cases, so keep an eye out for that as well.

Just look for the stamp! If it's got the '1' in a circle under the pic, it's 1st edition. No stamp, no first edition. Easy.
Honestly, it's not always about the stamp. Some cards are misprints and don't have the symbol but are still 1st ed. It's rare but happens. Always check the card number and compare with known 1st editions for that set.
