Hello Everyone.
Today I received some Japanese Pokémon cards I ordered in the mail. I got some First Edition cards, and some Unlimited cards (for example, from Miracle of the Desert, a Japanese set that would become part of EX Sandstorm internationally, I bought a 1st Edition Ludicolo and an Unlimited run Zangoose). Naturally I assumed that the 1st edition cards were just a bit rarer, but while I was trying to look up about what percentage of boxes from the set were First Edition, I read this... vague sentence on Bulbapedia's "1st Edition (TCG)" page.
Quite a lot of Japanese sets have smaller unlimited print runs than 1st edition print runs, making unlimited cards often harder to find.
I've tried to look into this more and I can't find much. So, assuming this is true, does anyone know where to find more information and specifics on how much certain Japanese sets were printed, or how much of a set is first edition?
Even if you only read this, thanks, have a good day.
