I have added all Shadowless Base 1st edition maps to my search list.

Now 3 sellers have offered these cards in the last month, I of course contacted them and asked for pictures.

In the end 3x the same story ... the cards are not from this series! But from this series;

http://www.catawiki.be/ catalog / trading-cards / games-series / 54203-pokemon-tcg? filters [7689] = 237033

There is only a small difference on the cards with the Shadowless Base 1st edition

( http://www.catawiki.be / catalog / trading-cards / games-series / 54203-pokemon-tcg? filters [7689] = 252375 )

The difference is therefore the 1st edition stamp to the left of the image.

Maybe it's an idea that if someone adds a shadowless base 1st edition card to their shop, they get a confirmation box or something? With the question that his / her card does have a first edition stamp?

Mvg, Niels.

Hello Niels,

you are clearly a connoisseur and a real collector of these Pokemon cards. The problem is that everyone has to pay attention to his own shop and that the buyer has to pay close attention to what he buys. Many sellers don't pay attention to the details and simply add their cards without thinking that a potential buyer would pay attention to them. If you've come across a seller who made that mistake, you can send them a message that they've put the wrong card in their shop. If they are honest sellers, they will remove it from their shop and re-place it in the correct category.

However, a warning to ask if it is a true first edition will not go. There is no separate field for a first edition and the first-edition cards are just part of a series and no warnings can be made for that (I think). This is because there are series for various collection areas and it is not possible to place warnings on all fields.

Good luck with the collection!

That is why there is such a beautiful thing as the forum! Now all collectors and hopefully many sellers can read that there is a difference in both series.

I think this is a great means of communication, because it allows you to reach many collectors / sellers. Now they have to read all this.
