Look for the 'Edition 1' symbol in the lower left of the card's image. No symbol, no first edition. Simple as that.

First edition Pokemon cards are pretty easy to spot if you know what to look for. Check the bottom left corner of the card's image. If you see a little 'Edition 1' symbol, that's your golden ticket. It looks like a small circle with a '1' inside it, right next to the card number. Also, for Base Set cards specifically, first editions don't have the shadow around the right and bottom edges of the image box, unlike their Unlimited or Shadowless counterparts.

Actually, not all 'first editions' are super valuable. It really depends on the card, the set, and the condition. Don't get too caught up in the hype. Yes, a first edition Charizard? Big money. But a first edition common card? Not so much.
