About Charizard (Base Set 1st Edition)
The most iconic trading card of an entire generation. The card every collector remembers.
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 Charizard:
- “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
