For the past two months I have seen an inordinate amount of ex Deoxys Rocket’s Raikou ex CGC graded cards in high grades being auctioned off through Fanatics. Since the beginning of September there have been 54 of them sold on Fanatics.

Another 9 will sell tomorrow, November 2nd.

The lowest graded of the 54 sales so far is 7.5, but most of the 54 have been graded 9 or higher.

I also did some cert digging on CGC to find that many of these Raikou were submitted in bundles. Haven’t checked all of the certs, but the largest submission I have seen so far is 15 Raikou in a row. 6081457001-6081457015. Another odd thing to note is there are lots of removed certifications around some of the Raikou bundles I’ve checked.

I don’t want to make any accusations, but this all seems quite suspicious so I did some more researching.

I checked the ex Deoxys CGC pop report. Raikou has quite a high pop compared to cards in the same set, but it also seems that the Raikou grades averaged a bit higher as well.

Raikou has the highest percentage of cards graded 7.5 or higher compared to similar cards in ex Deoxys.

Maybe I’m overanalyzing things, but knowing there has been a case of Gold Stars stolen from the factory makes me a bit more cautious when seeing these numbers on Rocket’s Raikou. Let me know your thoughts.
