CGC 6.5 Zapdos - 1st Edition Shadowless Base Set 1999 - 16/102
It's always exciting to see Shadowless 1st Edition Base Set cards, so a Zapdos holo is extra cool! This card has been authenticated and graded by CGC and awarded an Excellent/ Near Mint+ 6.5.Grading report: For a grade of 6.5, no more than one slightly ?dinged? corner is allowed, or no more than two of the following flaws: two or three fuzzy corners; slightly rough edges; noticeable print spots. A moderate diamond cut is allowed, and light wax staining on the front is acceptable.About this card: 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, 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.
