Determining whether a Pokmon card is shadowless refers to identifying cards from the early print runs of the Pokmon Trading Card Game that lack a drop shadow behind the card’s artwork. These cards are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
Shadowless cards were printed during the game’s initial release in 1999 and are characterized by their clean and crisp artwork, without the subtle shadow effect that became standard in later printings. The absence of a shadow on these cards is primarily attributed to a printing error or a deliberate design choice to differentiate early print runs.
