I appreciate your detailed query, but I need to be transparent about what I can provide based on the available search results.
The search results provided do not contain specific information about how many shadowless cards exist in first edition print. The results mention that shadowless cards were part of the first print run of the first English language Pokémon set and reference specific examples like the Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition Holo Mewtwo, but they do not provide quantitative data about the total number of shadowless cards that were produced or currently exist.
To write an extremely extensive article with authoritative sources about the exact number of shadowless cards in first edition print, I would need access to:
– Official production records from Wizards of the Coast (WOTC), the original publisher of English Pokémon cards
– Detailed inventory data from card grading companies like PSA, CGC, or BGS that have graded these cards
– Historical documentation from Pokémon card distributors and retailers from the 1999-2000 era
– Academic or industry research specifically focused on shadowless card production numbers
The search results do not contain this level of detailed information. Without authoritative sources that specifically quantify how many shadowless first edition cards were printed or currently exist in circulation, I cannot responsibly write an extensive article on this topic, as doing so would require me to speculate or provide information I cannot verify.
If you’re interested in learning about shadowless cards in general, their characteristics, or their market value, I’d be happy to help with that using the available information. Alternatively, if you can provide search results with more specific production data or authoritative sources on this topic, I can create the comprehensive article you’re looking for.
