1st Edition Stamps: Doubling The Pokemon Card Price

The ‘1st Edition’ stamp is the ultimate legal multiplier for a pokemon card price. A shadowless Base Set card might sell for $500, but the 1st Edition pokemon card price can easily double or triple that figure. Savvy collectors legally hunt for unsorted 1st Edition packs at estate sales. Illegally, some fraudsters use high-quality printers to forge the 1st Edition stamp onto unlimited edition cards to trick buyers into paying the premium pokemon card price. Always check the card’s border and copyright date to verify true 1st Edition status legally.
