Hi everyone,
I’m in the process of completing my english Magikarp Set and I’m only missing a few. I heard about the existence of Magikarp Base Set 1st Edition Grey Stamp and Thin Stamp but never actually seen one sold or for sale. Do these cards actually exist?
I’ll post pictures of my collection once I receive my recent orders 
Thanks!
Luckily for you you can cross off the thin stamp. A few have been shown to exist but hey, it ain’t happenin’. Somewhere, I believe @quuador knows, there is a picture of a Wartortle thin stamp. Thin stamp Magikarp might never have been seen before.
Grey stamp however does exist and is not all that uncommon.
Too bad for the thin stamp, I think I will still keep a spot in my binder for it just in case. And I guess I’ll just have to be patient and wait for a grey stamp to pop up for sale.
Thanks for the quick answer!
@brendantheclayboy is indeed correct that Thin stamps for non-Holo Base Set cards are almost non-existent. I own a yellow cheeks Pikachu with thin stamp myself (see picture below, before it got graded as a PSA-7), and I’ve seen two (smudged) red cheeks thin stamps thus far, which I’m still missing in my collection.
Apart from those, I’ve seen two Wartortle (see picture for one of those below), one Charmander, one Rattata, one Tangela, and one Squirtle thus far.
So whether a Magikarp thin stamp actually exist I don’t know. These non-Holo Base Set thin stamps are all misprints, unlike the intentional thin stamps on Base Set Holofoil Rare cards. They’re usually also in between a thick stamp and Holofoil thin stamp in terms of width.
A grey stamp isn’t too hard to find, but might require a bit of patient for a specific Pokémon. I’m sure a grey stamp Magikarp will turn up for sale eventually.
Greetz,
Quuador
yes they do Ive seen a fair few grey stamps lately on ebay.
Appreciate your Magikarp interest, good luck and hope you take the all language challenge haha
@quuador, Thanks a lot for the informations! And I also just realised that the Google Doc I’m following religiously to complete my set is from you so again huuge thanks!
@papafrankgod, Thanks! The money I need to invest just in japanese is the main problem haha, I might complete other language after I’m finished with english tho
