Shadowless$2.49 raw7.4× this printing on raw1st Edition — the stamped first run. The scarcest printing of the set, and the one the value story starts with: Wizards projected English launch demand badly low, sold through the first run almost immediately and spent the spring rationing shipments. How to tell: the black “Edition 1” stamp under the left edge of the artwork box. No stamp, no 1st Edition — the stamp is the whole difference, and it is why an otherwise identical card sells for many times the Unlimited print.
