    I am looking to purchase a base set booster box from a friend of mine and it seems like it might be a shadowless one. I have many of the base set booster boxes, but this one looks different. The charizard is spitting fire on the one side. The background color behind the venusaur is also one solid color, unlike the base set booster boxes. This box though is wrapped with the wizards of the cost logo on it. Can someone please tell me how to tell if a booster box is shadowless or not.

    I've added some links that show pictures of the box below.

    Thanks,

    I'm not aware of any method of telling whether or not a booster will be shadowless. If it's a good deal, go for it; you will probably be able to profit from individual card or package sales regardless of whether or not it's shadowless.
    I would have said that these differences could mean counterfeit, but because it's still wrapped that's unlikely. Sorry, I don't know if there is a way to distinguish a shadowless booster.
     
    ItalianPokemon,

    So did you buy the booster box from your friend? Updates please :)
