Which printing you are holding
Which Nidoking you are holding is decided before grade is: the set ran in three printings. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Priced, Nidoking would carry one cell per printing — blending three print runs into one median states a price no one paid.
