Vaporeon is card #28/64 in the 1999 Pokemon Jungle set (Rare). It was printed in 1st Edition and Unlimited. PSA has graded about 2,903 copies across its printings.
Print variants & how to tell them apart
1st Edition
The black 'Edition 1' stamp — a circle containing the number 1 — sits just left of the artwork, below the art box. Jungle has no shadowless printing, so a 1st Edition card is otherwise identical to Unlimited (same drop shadow, same set symbol). The first and smallest print run; commands a premium.
Unlimited
No stamp. The standard and by far the most common Jungle printing, with the set symbol (a rafflesia-like flower) in the lower-right of the art box. The only tell vs 1st Edition is the missing stamp — both have the drop shadow and the set symbol.

Attacks
10+Quick Attack[Colorless Colorless]
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage; if tails, this attack does 10 damage.
30+Water Gun[Water Water Colorless]
Does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Vaporeon but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. Extra Water Energy after the 2nd doesn't count.
Lives close to water. Its long tail is ridged with a fin that is often mistaken for a mermaid's.
Market values are live TCGplayer prices for each printing. A dash means TCGplayer has no separate or active listing for that variant (e.g. the No Symbol error). As an eBay Partner & affiliate we may earn from qualifying purchases.
Jungle cards come in two editions: 1st Edition (a black 'Edition 1' stamp left of the art box) and Unlimited (no stamp; the standard, most common printing). Both carry the drop shadow and the rafflesia set symbol -- the only tell between them is the stamp (Jungle has no Shadowless or 1999-2000 printing). The 16 holo rares also exist as the famous No Set Symbol error: an early Unlimited holo run that is missing the set symbol in the lower-right of the art box.
