Describing cards as unlimited from the non 1st edition print run is misleading. It makes it sound like more Jungle cards are going to be printed. What is a better name for cards lacking that 1st edition stamp? ---

I believe French collectors call Unlimited “Edition 2”. ---

I think _regular_ or _standard_ print could fit well. ---

Could be a bit misleading for sets where 95% of the print run is first edition imo ---

I like unlimited since they were printed to oblivion. Does anyone actually get the impression they will be reprinted? (Outside of that one angry bulbasaur guy) ---

> [@eeveeteam](#): > > What is a better name for cards lacking that 1st edition stamp? IDK … I got too accustomed to the term _“Unlimited”_ to refer cards lacking the 1st Edition stamp that now I can’t think in a better term for it … 🤣 ---

Most Japanese people will say: “1EDマークなし”, aka “no 1st ed. mark”. 🤷 Greetz, Quuador ---

Maybe 2nd edition? Assuming it would be the only other major print run. I feel this could work if you look at other things out there because often times Unlimited and later print runs would fix errors or issues from the 1st Edition prints. Example, Base Set Red Cheeks Pikachu only found in the 1st Ed/Shadowless but was corrected/removed with the Unlimited run. This is sort of like a 1st Ed vs 2nd Ed textbook or novel where they correct mistakes, errors, etc or add other improvements. I guess with WOTC they were still in the MTG mindset back then, so it makes sense why they went with Unlimited similar to MTG compared to another name. ---

I think “Unlimited” sounds fairly flattering and is my preference. I’ve also heard them called: “poverty edition” “peasant release” “economy edition” “coach class release” ---

As it relates to Japanese when the 1st edition run is 90% of total and the unlimited is 10% of the run, saying unlimited is misleading. For English, it makes more sense since those numbers are reverse ---

Technically speaking, weren’t unlimited (shadowless for base) the first officially released set cards to come out of the printer? ---

Technically speaking, the cards aren’t officially released until they are in a booster pack intended for sale. At what point is a card an official card? [Next page](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/better-name-for-unlimited/57352.md?page=2)
