About Alakazam (Base Set 1st Edition)
Card #1 of the entire Pokemon TCG. Famous for the Damage Swap Poke-Power, a competitive staple in the original WotC era.
The 1st Edition print is the most coveted variant of the 1999 Base Set. It carries the “Edition 1” stamp on the lower-left of the artwork and lacks the drop-shadow border (“shadowless”). Wizards of the Coast printed 1st Edition copies for only the first few weeks of the U.S. release before transitioning to subsequent runs.
How to identify a 1st Edition Alakazam:
- “Edition 1” stamp on the lower-left of the artwork box
- No drop-shadow on the artwork box (“shadowless”)
- WotC copyright at the bottom
- 1999 copyright date
