Shadowless?

ok, so i was reading through some price lists on cards, and it said about shadowless charizard being worth a hell of a lot. i came to figure that this was the only one (charizard was the only one in the game to be made "shadowless"), when i was looking through ebay and someone advertised "entire base set holo shadowless"

so, what makes a shadowless card? and can you get the full base set holos in shadowless or was this dude false advertising?
 
No, they're not really worth that much. Price lists tend to inflate card prices by a lot. Auction sites are generally the best measure to see how much a card is worth because, unless you have your own card shop, there's no way you can sell it for the prices the card lists tell you you can.

I can think of a lot rarer cards off the top of my head, even for US sets, that are worth more.

Initially, the first few print runs of the unlimited base set were made without shadows. WotC was pretty cheap when it came to printing Pokemon cards and went for quantity, not quality. So, yes, you can get a full entire base shadowless set.
 
they are still worth more though, aren't they? i mean, in auctions, ive seen the same person selling a shadowless charizard for twice the price of a normal charizard.
 
Perhaps but it depends on the condition of the card. Either way, I wouldn't spend more than about $30 on a mint condition shadowless Charizard card from the base set.
