Telling the difference between sets

[Silent1236]

Ok, so I was going through and pricing a couple cards, and I came along my playset of {Bad Moon}s.  I went to starcitygames.com and looked it up to see how much it was, and I can't really tell if this one is 4th edition or the Alt. 4th Edition.  I didn't think it mattered too much, but the Alt. edition is 9.99 while the normal 4th is 2.99   Any tips on how to tell those two sets apart?

Memorize when the sets came out and look at the dates.

The ones that don't say a date. Just te artist. Is revised usually.

Both were printed in '95 and they both have that on the bottom, as well as the same artist.  So far, the only way I have found to figure out which one it is is to look at it under a blacklight because the alt edition has a different coating on it.  Not sure if it is worth the hassle lol

They're probably unlimited.

95 is around the time unlimited and revised came out.

The wording is different.  I know it is either 4th edition or alt 4th.  The alt 4th was just when they printed cards in the US and got into some kinda trouble with it (I skim read the alt 4th edition description on starcitygames, so that is just a brief little overview). The wording on my card shows that it is from one of the 2 4th edition sets.
