The print runs
Base Set was printed in four English runs. 1st Edition carries the 1st Edition stamp below the art and has no drop shadow around the art window. Shadowless is the same print without the stamp. Unlimited is the common print, with the drop shadow, issued with a ©1999 and then a ©1999–2000 copyright line. Each Addictimon pack page states which print run and which condition tier it holds.
How the odds work
Every pack line publishes its pool and its pull rates on the product page, and this page collects the Base Set ones. Allocation is randomised before the pack is sealed, so every customer gets the same chance, every pack, every time. The full tables for every range are on Our Odds.
