Though simple in function, its significance in gameplay and collecting is substantial. Released in 1999 as part of the original Base Set, this card belongs to the highly sought-after "Shadowless" print run—named for the absence of the shadow effect along the right edge of the artwork, a design feature introduced in later printings
