About Venusaur (Base Set 1st Edition)
The grass-type starter and third member of the “Big Three” Base Set holos. Hardest to find in true Gem Mint.
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 Venusaur:
- “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
