UC1 worth it after UC2 & UC3?

^This.
Granted I played them in order as they released, but UC1 is still my favorite.
There will definitely be a few "Oh, that's where that came from!" moments; both (especially 3) had some references to the 1st game (some obvious, some subtle) not necessarily story-related but just smaller references snuck in there.

Most definitely worth a play, and you can find a used copy very cheap (there is no online, or DLC or anything so a used copy is the way to go).

Story wise it's definitely worth it! Playing the first one will probably help you understand some story from 2, and 3 in terms of inside jokes or comments, and just because it's first doesn't mean it's bad or worse!

This is def a buy. It may be old by today's standards but alot better than some of the AAA title currently out there. Put it this way, I can't think of a reason not to pick it up!!!!!

Personally, I played them all in order as they came out. I really enjoyed all of the Uncharted series(Uncharted 2 probably the most).

As others have said, it is definitely worth playing the first game, regardless of whether or not you played 2 or 3. There is a lot of story elements that will kind of fill in the gaps between Sully, Nate and Elena's relationships. There were some subtle references in 2 and 3 to events that took place in the first game. Just don't expect as much over the top set piece moments and more emphasis on cover based shooting, exploration, climbing and puzzles. Drake's Fortune is still a must play even after you've played 2 and 3.

As for trophies, I think that the first game was by far the hardest to plat because of the insane difficulty of the crushing playthrough.

i think so , so that you can understand the storyline to it

It'll be harder to plat than the others, but definitely worth it. You should be able to get through the game on hard without too much trouble, but crushing is going to slow you down.

There's a story element or three I won't mention that won't affect you the way it was intended, because you already know the future, but it'll still be an enjoyable game.

I say hell yeah, pick up a copy of U1 and go for it!

I myself was kinda hesitant about the Uncharted games, then I borrowed U2 from a cousin and got hooked! before I platted U2, I got me a copy of U1 and grinded out the Plat, then went back to plat U2. Now, I'm currently grinding U3 on crushing!
