Shadowless, Red Cheeks, First Edition… this is Pikachu's final form!About this card:&nbsp; The Original Base Set went through a number of variations and printings through 1999 and not all of them are widely known. The first iteration is known as 1st Edition Shadowless. This variation is distinct from the others on two grounds: 1) The 1st edition circular stamp on the left-hand side of the card is clearly visible,&nbsp;and 2) A shadowless card has a different colour pallet than its unlimited counterpart. The official terminology is what’s known as missing the ‘drop shadow’ on the card, specifically around the art box but the best way to describe it is it kind of looks like the entire card is sun damaged/bleach.
