How to tell the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it | Verified sales | Last sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Edition | Has the 1st Edition stamp on the left side of the card image and Base Set holo Gyarados #6/102 identity. | 22 | $1,275 · Sep 21, 2026 |
| Shadowless | No 1st Edition stamp, but the card has the early Base Set shadowless frame without the later right-side drop shadow. | 11 | $350.00 · Sep 23, 2026 |
| Unlimited | No 1st Edition stamp and uses the later Base Set frame with the right-side drop shadow. | 18 | $299.99 · Sep 26, 2026 |
Identity note: Seed variants are correct, but sales and populations must be kept in three separate buckets: 1st Edition, Shadowless, and Unlimited.
