Chicken? Egg?

You literally called him “My friend” before him calling you ‘bud’ …

Back on topic as i would like to add something meaningful to this conversation; eggs existed way before chickens did. At least that answers one of your questions :wink:

Haha, okay then. This could be a very long, and tiring hole we could go down here. We can move past it for sake of good conversation. It’s been a fun thread. Should continue to get views and maybe even more involvement. We’re good, man.

Were you that egg then? Otherwise, how could you possibly know? :thinking:

Not an egg, but biology teacher :wink:

Wait, hold on here. So you’re claiming that the biology teacher came before the egg?? That sounds like quite a stretch. :wink:

I can debunk this one right now as I have 0 patience. Ever.

Dinosaurs and reptiles laid eggs, way before there were any chickens… :blush:

(What came first; the chicken or the ***chicken-***egg? Now that’s a completely different question, but not the one you were asking.)

The biggest irony in this whole thread is that shadowless was only available on day 1 because 1st ed was so popular that it immediately sold out.

That depends on what you consider a chicken egg. Is a chicken egg an egg laid by a chicken? Or an egg that contains a chicken embryo? If the former, the chicken came first. If the latter, the egg came first, laid by a non-chicken. Either way, that’s an answerable question, no?

They were the same print. Stamps were then added to shadowless sheets. Design changed before these cards were streeted for purchase.

We understand that :slightly_smiling_face: the point he’s making is the only reason shadowless was for sale along side 1st edition on day 1 is because the 1st boxes sold so fast!, if demand was not so high we wouldn’t have seen shadowless unlimited until later, your claim to fame that shadowless was for sale along side 1st ed is only possible because the 1st ed boxes ran out so fast

After a careful look at my stock I am reevaluating my position and am 100% behind team @btoise let’s drive shadowless prices awareness to the highest point!

Correct, that’s indeed how it usually goes, and it’s indeed unanswerable. But an egg in general definitely came before the chicken, as I mentioned before.

Anyway, sorry for going so off-topic about the :egg:. :blush: I think the original question of the thread had already been answered, though: 1st edition was printed before Shadowless in terms of print run. But because Shadowless was already sold out during pre-sales, 1st and Shadowless were both released and sold on day 1 of the Pokémon TCG release in the US. /thread

Under no terms was 1st Ed “printed” first lol.

This just seems like a thread to create a bunch of false hype about shadowless cards :face_with_monocle: I think people have already agreed that they were distributed at the same time, but regardless of all that the 1st edition stamp always has and always will have more demand.

Below is a raw, shadowless clefairy that recently sold at auction for more than $1,000 dollars. Looks like a potential 10 candidate. There are only 23 PSA graded 10 clefairys found on the census. It’s a nice looking card. I wish there were more of them out there that look like that.
I really appreciate the symmetry and general aesthetic that these cards display without the addition of being viciously stamped on, thereby marring them forever.
:wink:

You should know that the seller of that card was getting ridiculously high prices for all the cards they were selling and I’m pretty sure that they were shill bidding. Why would you pay this much for a potential 10 when a 9 of the same card can be picked up for only £120 right now on Ebay?
