Print Variants, Tells and Card Back

Ampharos 1st Edition — 1st Edition
Look for the black Edition 1 stamp at the lower-left of the artwork/text area. Neo Revelation 1st Edition and Unlimited share the same artwork and copyright line ((c)1995-2000 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK.); the stamp is the key tell.

Ampharos Unlimited — Unlimited
No Edition 1 stamp. The Unlimited printing uses the same artwork and copyright line as 1st Edition, but without the first-print stamp.

Ampharos Double Holo error — Double Holo error
A recognized Neo Revelation error: the holofoil pattern bleeds outside the normal foil window, so foil appears inside the artwork. It turns up on the 16 holofoil cards. Nobody has published how many exist, and it is an error rather than a separate print run.

Ampharos card back — Card back
Standard English Pokemon TCG card back, shared across Neo Revelation cards.
