    I just received a Base Set Booster Box in the mail and I HAVE NO IDEA how to tell if it's a shadowless box or not. Something with the box art is different, but idk how to compare since I have looked on every site on line and theres no place that is teling me specifically what the difference is. HELP ME!

    Don't bother with the box art, just open a pack, look at the card, and compare it to another card. The shadowless card will be missing the shadow on the right side of the picture box, which all modern cards have (so you can compare it to any modern card to tell, not just base set), and the HP font will be smaller instead of bold like on other cards. If you want to be able to tell just from the box without opening any of the packs, the answer is: you can't. However, if the box specifies that it is 1st edition, then the cards inside are guaranteed to be shadowless.
