Ive seen a somewhat equal distribution between 1st and unlimited edition cards in general for most of these sets (although not sure if it applies to all of them)
No shadow Shadowless (still 1999, still valuable) Soft grey shadow Unlimited Step 3 (optional): Check the copyright text The copyright line at the bottom of the card varies by print run: 1st Edition / Shadowless: "1995, 96, 98, 99 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK 1999 Wizards" (note the double 1999 ) Unlimited: Same copyright line, drop shadow added 1999-2000 (eighth print): "1999-2000" appears at the bottom right For Trainer and Energy cards (which never had drop shadows in any print run), the copyright text is the only reliable way to differentiate between print runs
Why do some proxy cards come close, but still feel a bit off on the table
Sacrifice one to Ghoulcaller Gisa, and you'll get three more Zombies, making all five in play into 6/6 creatures.
