Rarity and usefulness are completely unrelated.
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 limited edition Pokemon cards that are a part of the first generation total to 151. If there is a first edition mark it is very valuable, and diamond cards are also very uncommon and valuable.
If it's 1st edition ultimate then $21.50. Ultra 1st edition, $13.60. Unlimited ultimate $17.30. Ultra $7.00.
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.
I would say that the ultra rare card would be rarer, because you have to be lucky enough to pull one of those from a pack. The limited edition one you ca just buy at the store. Sure, its shinier, but the ultra rare one is more rare. If you get a secret rare from a pack, then we're talkin' real rare cards.
The cards have 1st edition written on the left hand corner under the picture. The name is different colors. The picture is foil. It might say limited edition(there is no rarer version for limited edition cards).
It's impossible to say without knowing the card names. 'Limited Edition' cards can include expensive SJCS tournament prizecards, all the way down to worthless EP1 'Sphinx' cards. Likewise, 1st edition cards can include top tier cards, all the way down to useless trade binder padding.

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.
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.
depends on which ones you have...
