Oh, diving into the world of shadowless Pokemon cards, are we? Here's how you can spot them - look to the right side of the image box. If you don't see a shadow, congrats, you've got a shadowless card! These are from the early print runs of the base set and are super coveted by collectors for their rarity and nostalgia. Another quick tip: the '1st Edition' symbol. If it's missing, and your card is from the base set with no shadow, it's definitely shadowless. Happy hunting!
Easiest way to check? No shadow on the right side of the Pokemon picture. No shadow = shadowless. Simple as that.
