It’s not from Australia that’s for sure, it’s from Norway.
And grading a card like that in the seal sound as a big NO for me.
This card is rare and collector want to buy a card in a certain condition, not a seal in a certain condition. Just my opinion

Very Okey with different options. I am trying to hunt down both the Kyogre and the Groudon, but they are hard to find as you say. If I find some new I will open them and grade them as well. 
I will keep this thread posted.
The was given out with the Donald Duck magazines in Norway. I belive it was released in Scandinavian and Australia, but maybe I am totally wrong… And this makes them even more rare outside of Scandinavian .
Holy moly! 
That’s amazing! My favorite legendary pokemon and one of my favorite cards of all time

Just send me an PM if you are interrested in the card 
Heyo! It’s me the TCG Collector guy.
I just stumbled upon this variant through a recent facebook post I saw. Guy who did the post mentioned he found no evidence or pictures that could confirm these variants coming in the K-Zone magazines in Australia - meaning the only evidence there exists is from the Norwegian Donal Duck magazines.
Could you corroborate this? Would like to add this variant in our platform, but currently investigating and doing my due diligence to add it with the most complete information possible! If you also hap+pen to know the specific issue and date of the firs ever magazine ever released with these promos, would also appreciate that!
Also, didn’t know about the non-holo Dratini and Larvitar, cool to know!

Unfortunately, I’ve got not much to add to my post of about a year ago. I’ve only heard it was inside an Australian K-Zone magazine, but I’ve never seen it sealed. I also had never seen the Norwegian Donald Duck sealed, until someone on Discord the day before yesterday shared it (which might have been you?).
I’ll post those picture here below as well for anyone else who isn’t active on Discord, and to keep everything in this thread:
So apparently you were incorrect. This Norwegian Donald Duck from 2004 came with this sealed Kyogre ex.

Nice. I have this exact magazine issue and mine didn’t come with the card, only with that crappy trappespiral (=slinky) which is the advertised toy but it wouldn’t be the first time something like that happened with those magazines.

I’ve been told that the Holo Groudon ex can also been found with this volume.
I mean, with every unit, one of the two promos (Kyogre ex or Groudon ex) are included randomly (only one per unit)
However, I have no evidence of a Groudon ex one … But I consider that it’s possible since Kyogre ex (Sealed Magazine) was found …

A new No Dot Code Sealed Kyoger live at Fanatic collect. Now that the Magazines have come to light, will it be more expensive then last time?
One of the more difficult Black Star Promos to find in the wild.

Sadly PSA will still not reconize the card as uniqe, they want a confirmation from Pokemon Company of the release of this card, don’t know how to get that, or who to contact.

I know someone who has sendt both of the sealed Magazines with each card in to PSA to verify authentication. Let PSA check with Pokemon Company if they could call them Donald Duck exclusive or something like that. It would be very amazing if they where called Norway Exclusive or Scandinavian.

Thank you so much for sharing this info! I came across this comment with about 2 days left in that auction so I made a Fanatics account and just won it.
Looks like last copy sold on Fanatics for $492 end of December 2023 so I was pretty happy to get this considerably cheaper.
Only other sales history I’ve come across recently for this was a non sealed NM copy on eBay for around $250.
Next up, Groudon!!!
