Neo Genesis produced 1st Edition, Unlimited prints. For Clefairy, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
Clefairy grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Clefairy
