About the print variants

Every Gym Heroes card comes in two English printings: 1st Edition (with the Edition-1 stamp left of the art) and Unlimited (no stamp). Gym Heroes has no separate Shadowless print, so the art and the (c)1999-2000 copyright are identical -- the stamp is the key tell. Rocket's Moltres #12 also has the cataloged Black Dot 1st Edition error, an ink blob left of '60 HP' on some copies.
