I assume you are referring to the Heritage Illustrator? If so, there are multiple that have sold higher than the recent BGS 10 zard & Heritage Illustrator. Some going back a year or two when the first BGS 10 zard earned 11-13k (I can’t remember the specific figure).
Yes but, you cannot deny the power of artwork!
xD
although the trophies have been selling for more, again there more like private sales like no rarity. There is so many simlarb tingz going for the no rarity treasurerbz that makes them comparable to trophanz.
English power is unpresidented. But the japanese no raritan will have its day. 
prepare for your empire and reign to come to an end. AS i buy all your cardlingz, and garinsons… Taking them off the market and creating the Artificially selected No rarity Market… Making the no rarities the closest to trophies available on the open market.
There for prooving you smprattican, and garinson wrong.
@pokemonsyndicate When I read your posts it sounds like a lovable cartoon villain and your little minions are No Rarity cards.

and now watch the prices drop on yoour trophies and english with people seeing my ultimate plan.
theres no doubt it will succeed, and investors/entreuproonoobz shall heed this warning and start preparing.
" Perhaps the emotional connection is empty since NR were largely unknown until recently."
This isn’t the case. Most of the people back then not only knew about them but but later in 1999 they were a bit of an annoyance.
Did you guys ever definitively discover their origin?
There was never a time Trophys weren’t loved and in demand. If you got into pokemon in 2010, trophy cards were on your radar. In 1998? Same thing. NRs were known but of seriously no interest except to legends like Glenn.

Such a good comment. I love it, and the insight is absolutely correct.
NR have never had even 0.1% the exposure of 1st ed base. There may be a day that it becomes the envy of collectors but it’s not today, and won’t be for some time yet, maybe years, maybe decades. Personally, I think the premature value hike hurt it’s growth since the quick sale drove it further into obscurity.
@pokemonsyndicate I love that you bought it because you love the card above all else, even above what others said. Something that nobody can take from you… but if you want to see any appreciable value increase I’d suggest you put it in a dummy sale on eBay. There’s no way it can accrue the same recognition just sitting in your collection, unseen by the world. If nothing else, perception of value is a powerful tool. Show off that jewel to the world 
I graded my own gem no rarity zard, and a blastoise. muhahaha. I intend to grade the entire set. IN 9.5, psa 10, and prisitne 10. I actually would like to list it for showing that it exists purposes. But not for sale purposes. So im a bit on the fence. But Ide like to make an amazing trio listing with the english 1st ed 10s aswell. HOWever I do not have the ebay selling limit. so I cant do it, always someo-ne will buy it out lol.
How do you figure this?
They were never known to anyone because psa didnt even authenticate them. meaning if they were known, nobody would have givin a shit about them. The threads on e4 indicate that the majority of collectors only started noticing them around 2013 when psa started authenticating them. Before them, noone even believed glen or gave a shite about them. The only collectors that new about them, and still were skeptical were the japanese peeps on those blogs and shit. But they wernt even listed as no rarities ( 1st edition ) on yahoo japan. Till around 2012-2013.
I would have loved to be on yahoo japan before then though lol… I wonder how many mint copies were around then, and they didnt even know about them… Because you see IF we go by what your saying, there would be a massive amount of 10s in the pop report, and out on the market during this explosion, and especially when it started to get hot in 2015.
Im not sure how you would come to this conclusion that heaps of people new about them. When I first came here, It just started to go big on ebay. The big mewtwo popped up. Prior to that there was no listings on ebay within years, there was only a few psa 6s lol between 2013-2015.
If you asked a american collector what about no rarities… Theyd be like… WTF is that shit.
Like @jkanly said… English 1st ed, and shadowless has had about 300 billion times the exposure. WHere talking about 0.01 percent exposure of no rarities compared to 1st ed base. IF more people talked about it, things would change. But everyone only speaks about 1st ed base and english release because thats the main audience and thats what people remember and the fact is… Thats all people actually own… Noone owns no rarities because there is barely any, and they were released in one country. HOWEVER!! Those yellow boarders went to every country… However the japanese release was only in japan. Did anyone have japanese base set packs in there stores when growing up??? How about the decks? xD
yes they come from the decks. The book inside the first print indicates the 1st print run. Second booklet has number 2 meaning 2nd print run, 3rd booklet is third print run. ALL three print runs are in the deck 104-01 However the 2nd, and 3rd print run was way larger so chances of getting the first print run in those decks are like 0.01 percent. The way to confirm you have unliimited is if you look at the code on the box it should say 104-0061.
Its caused a massive spike in even the normal decks.
the 104-01 decks are selling on ebay for 250usd now. There was several yahoo japan auctions for 25,000 YEN all sold.
AND recently I saw a friggen normal unlimited guaratneed Deck - 104-0061 SOLD on yahoo japan for 28,000 YEN…
Its kinda like playing for shadowless accept 100 times harder xD
This guy realised he had several decks with 104-01 right after someone opened one, and suddenly the price changed to 250usd. Rightfully so. But I doubt theres any no rarities in his. Someone gave him bad feedback lol. I nirly died. Nothing against the seller, i would have done the same thing and changed the price… Thats how business works.
But whats funny is someone tried the lottery and got real pissed that they didnt hit the jackpot xD

Nice edit — just in time from saving yourself from getting a temporary ban. 
come at me bruh.
Will it be a winner-takes-all-no-rarities?
By the way, I have a whole lot more of them to lose than you do.
I always edit my posts though, I dont mean anything by them. Just playing around.
Sure you do 
But let me show you what others think of my posts… I inspire people my furry friend, and thats what its about… The more Fun i makes for peepstons on this forum, the better.
My intention was not to compare no rarity to trophy cards. I just brought up trophy cards as an example of cards with high value and little to no connection to nostalgia.
But moving the discussion forward… are there any cards that have been around for a long time that were sitting off the radar and then suddenly saw a jump in desirability and value? Legendary Collection comes to mind.
If so, what made those cards suddenly desirable?
Nobody cared about them enough to push PSA to grade them.
Tons of people knew about them. Glenn collected hundreds of them back then. All of mine came in random trades and bulk buys back then.
Plus, even if you wanted to have them PSA designated it was very tough. Even now it’s simply considered an error at PSA like the Jungle no symbols.
You know how long it took me to designate the shadowless? Nearly 5 years. And even after that long I couldn’t get the Machamp designated:(
Point being, if they wernt designated and only a few people rememeber them what does that tell you. Who is tons of people? We have asked so many people, we have brought up this subject so many times. Noone gave a shite. So if noone cared or trusted them, then its the same as if they didnt exist imo.
Its only now that there official that they are fetching lots of money.
If glen has hundreds of them, they would be played to the shithouse, always he would have cashed in on them back when he sold everything he had.
and If you had any copies mint theyd be on your ebay store.
However i wish there was alot more graded in 10, to get some exposure. Saddly i dont see it. Unless you can proove me wrong, and show me these secret stashes of mint no rarities.
THis is what I mean by non existant… There is not really enough of them or enough to be exposed to the masses on a gran scale like wotc ect. thats all.
think about your shadowless… WHen you were exposing them and they wernt authenticated… HOW much did they go for?
Oh…what was the answer to my question, “Is there any proof of where the nr came from?”
