How to know the edition of Pokemon cards
Honestly, I don't even bother checking the editions anymore. As long as it looks cool, I'm good.

Just flip the card and look at the symbols, no need to overcomplicate it. Stars, circles, diamonds. Easy peasy.
Figuring out the edition of your Pokemon cards is pretty easy once you get the hang of it! Just look for the little symbols near the bottom of the card. If you see a circle, that means it's a common card. A diamond indicates it's uncommon, and a star means it's rare. For the really special editions, like first editions, you'll see a '1st Edition' stamp on the left side of the card, below the picture. And for those shiny holographic cards, the whole picture will sparkle, not just the border!
