With that quantity, there’s no way those cards came from boxes and packs. It can only come directly from the factory. Question is, were these cards issued legitimately or is this the outcome of someone’s shenanigans?
The guy has 1 post… it has to be bull… either 3d printer reprints, or he knew someone at the production facility., oh how I wish I knew people working at fleer, or wotc in the 90s… I know some of those companies workers would just bring home countless sheets of prints for their neighbours… sigh
My friend is the person the video was directed too. His name is on the paper and is the same user in the pokemon sub reddit trying to sell them. Apparently he does have them and he did have to take a flight to buy them.
Do you know where your friend flew to? It doesn’t sound like this is the guy he bought from. I specifically asked the seller if he met with anyone and he hasn’t. He is still looking for a potential buyer.
In regards to how he acquired the cards, they were obtained pre distribution, which was the most likely answers.
Woops my bad that is my friend. He’s the one who bought them from someone else. I watched the video last night on mute during a movie so I assumed it was the original seller. I knew he can write and read in English but I didn’t know he spoke it.
I made an initial offer of $35K (because he always requires that the buyer make the first offer). He responded saying that I wasn’t worth his time so I requested a counteroffer. He said I’d need to add $100K and then some. He said he wants $140K total.
