Identifying Chinese VS Korean Unlimited Base Set Energy

[Quuador]

Awesome info, @packyman! Thanks for sharing.

Out of curiosity, does the English ©1999-2000 unlimited edition print run have a difference with both of these as well? I once mentioned this for determining the Base Set Energy language:

@Quuador

Base Set Energies may all look very similar in all languages, but almost all of them can still be differentiated from one another (all the important parts are bold):

• English Shadowless (both 1st and non-1st): ©1995, 96, 98**, 99** + ©1999 + Energy
• English unlimited edition: ©1995, 96, 98 + ©1999 + Energy
• English unlimited edition UK 4th print: ©1995, 96, 98 + ©1999-2000 + Energy
• Dutch (both 1st and UED): ©1999-2000 + Energie
• German (both 1st and UED): ©1999 + Energie
• French (both 1st and UED): ©1999 + Énergie
• Italian (both 1st and UED): ©1999-2000 + Energia
• Spanish from Latin America (both 1st and UED): ©1999 + Energía
• Spanish from Spain (both 1st and UED): ©1999-2000 + Energía
• Portuguese (both 1st and UED): ©1999 + Energia
• Korean (both 1st and UED): ©1995, 96, 98 + ©1999-2000 + Energy
• Chinese (both 1st and UED): ©1995, 96, 98 + ©1999-2000 + Energy

As you can see, the only ones you are unable to differentiate from one another are the 1st editions of the Korean or Chinese Energy cards (both ©1999-2000 + Energy), nor the unlimited editions of the English UK 4th print, Korean, or Chinese Energy cards (all three ©1999-2000 + Energy as well). For every other Energy you are able to determine its language based on the copyright year and Energy translation used.

Thanks to you, the Korean and Chinese ones now can be distinguished from one another for the 1st edition ©1999-2000 Energy cards, but I was wondering if they can also somehow be distinguished (visually like that) from the English ©1999-2000 unlimited edition print run.

Oh, and thanks for ‘sacrificing’ the booster pack and deck you’ve pulled these Energies from, in case you did so recently or on purpose.

Greetz,
