Rats

I offered a bag of M&M’s

[KingPokemon]

I’d put the retail value on the Pikachu at 300 raw. Grading all is a good idea cause 99% of the people hustling her for one are lowballin’ which she may not realize.
I would still put ONE on eBay auction style cause it would go sky high and she could hit up the the backup bidders.

Edit: I’m basing this on the assumption it’s the only Pikachu in the set?

I agree.

(Finally places 355th collectible Pokemon figure back on desk. Sees Gary’s new post. Knocks everything of desk again and pulls out journal. Starts writing notes furiously!)

Does anyone know if any of the Kyogres have surfaced yet? That’s probably the only one I REALLY want to get my hands on.

There are 6 Pikachu out of the 12 English cards, and 6 Pikachu out of the 10 Japanese cards.

I just want the mew winner to sellllllllllllllllllllll.

[eeveeevolutioner53]

i got my hands on two others already

[eeveeevolutioner53]

sorry to say but all three of those winners are not selling their cards

[KingPokemon]

Whoever holds out the longest will make 20 times as much. Some of them are pretty smart.

Which three winners are you talking about?

I’ve managed to track down a lot of them, but yes most sadly are not selling

I would still like to know which winners they were. I’ve been trying to collect scans of the 22 cards for Bulbapedia so that we can all know what the cards actually look like, but only have 15 of the 22 images we need. If they were ones we haven’t found yet, it would be appreciated if you mentioned who you’ve been able to find so far.

You do good work. Let’s all help Nate get the scans he needs.

Poor raincoat Pikachu’s value is going to be so far below all the others. Unfortunately, it’s pretty obvious that holding onto those cards is the best way to ensure their future value. With 100 copies of each (is that the confirmed number of each card?) they could either drop in value drastically or increase dramatically depending on how the owners handle them.
I hate to say it, but the best thing the winners could do for the value of their cards is keep them away from the public. Imagine if one of these doesn’t surface for the next 20 years!

Intriguing lol.

Could work the other way, some people could lose interest (i would). Of course some people have managed to obtain a few of them so that keeps those people keen.

If I had won the first thing I would have done is contact the other winners and organise trades to get a complete set for the winners then burn the rest gary style. Only around 22 complete sets would exist with no chance of building one!
