The card would have 1st edition on the bottom left of the card image (above the type of the monster e.g. zombie). If the card doesn't say 1st edition it is unlimited edition.
quality'1st edition' is printed on the first 'batch' of that particular product to be printed. Some people value them a little more highly than Unlimited prints of those same cards, but otherwise it doesn't really 'mean' anything.
The only way to know if a card is First Edition or Unlimited is by looking to the left of the Pokemon information right below the picture (See image below). If it has the label "1 Edition", then it is a First Edition card. If there is nothing there, then it is Unlimited.

If a card is 1st edition, it will say so, it will have '1st edition' written on it. The concept of 1st edition only applies for cards in booster sets, including Duelist Packs though - promo cards never have '1st edition' even if they were the first printing of that card.
The First Edition cards are more expensive because there are fewer of them. They only make one First Edition release and after that it's all unlimited. Fewer copies of something makes it more rare and hence, more valuable. Solution First Edition are somewhat more expensive because you get a little extra writing on the cards. Even from the original country Japan, they don't use 1st Edition cards because theirs no such thing. Either that or the cards I got were just Unlimited Edition Japanese cards anyway.
The first batch of cards they print have 1st Edition written on them. Any later ones will not have it, these are referred to as 'unlimited'. Some people prefer 1st edition, but it doesn't really affect the value.
The best card in yugioh is the judegement dragon card.
look at the stupid seal! if the card is a 1st edition, the seal has to be gold. this is also true for limited edition cards. Unlimited vesions have silver seals. 1st edition/limited edition = gold seal Unlimited = silver seal. unlimiteds can't have a gold seal
1st edition cards will simply state '1st Edition' at the bottom left, just below the picture. Unlimited edition cards will not have anything there. Mostly only cards from regular booster pack sets, or Duelist packs are differentiated into 1st edition and unlimited. Promotional cards and reprint sets (such as Dark Revelation) never have 1st edition versions, even if that card was in the first print run.
Basically it is somewhat rare but if you were to sell it ,the most definite price would only about 2 dollars cause it is just one yugioh card.

Promo cards don't have a 1st edition/unlimited edition - but if your GBI Ra has silver text, then it is the first and rarer printing of the card. If it has gold text like an Ultra Rare, that is the second, commoner printing.
