No one’s knowledge is perfect but when interacting with base set the differences between 1st edition, shadowless and unlimited are basically ground level information. There are loads of information on this forum for example about that topic that i suggest you to check before making big purchases or forming collection goals. It is very common to enter the hobby, do a lot of impulse purchases before finding your thing and then regretting your earlier purchases. You can always sell to regain some money if you aren’t happy with your purchases but it’s a lot more simple to give it a bit time and study the topic first, these aren’t any one time opportunities after all that you miss if you aren’t buying now, it’s at least here a somewhat common saying that with set cards there’s always another copy to buy.

If you want to learn more about exactly base set pikachu, [this](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/base-pikachu-artwork-card-variations/15059) for example is an excellent thread
