Hi I have a green wing, 1 country code, wotc wrapped, shadowless art on the short crimp packs booster box.
I can’t seem to find one that sold recently to get an idea of what it is worth?
Thanks for your time
If you have a clearly established provenance for it, I would estimate $20-25k. For a long time, short crimp boxes suffered in value because Unlimited boxes were worth so little comparitively (eg, 3.5k vs 11-14k), so it was quite a gamble to hope the cards would be Shadowless. Now that Unlimited boxes are $8-9k, the “worst” case secenario where the packs contain Unlimited cards is still worth quite a bit.

One selling on PWCC currently, sitting at $18,000 USD with a while to go. Suggest keep an eye www.pwccmarketplace.com/items/2347272
Isn’t that one unlimited though?
Yes, that box is confirmed Unlimited, and I urge everyone to bid as such.

Can you point me towards a source of confirmation? If so I’d appreciate that a lot 
I know the box in question has traded hands. You can also email PWCC.
Do you know who it was purchased from or who purchased it? I emailed PWCC and am waiting for a response.
I feel that $20-25k is an appropriate market value too. Has anyone seen or heard of them selling for that amount anywhere?
This is probably in relation to the person offering this privately, or you might be them.
Regardless you can’t guarantee shadowless ever. It’s entirely probability. The highest probability is not this box, it’s the clear wrap. Even if the packs are “shadowless” style, they can still be unlimited. Which has been the case more so than not recently.
I thought the shadowless art with long crimp packs was guaranteed?
Nothing with Wizards was guaranteed. I could tell you some stories like a 1st base box I opened that had all long crimp packs, all non 1st Edition and only 6 total holos lol.

Gary, stop telling nightmares!
That’s incredible. Hopefully they were 6 shadowless Charizards.

It’s the main reason I haven’t added a new sealed box to my collection since 2005. It’s a shame too. I used to love sealed stuff.

@smpratte, totally agree. I guess one way to think about valuation for this variant would be to value a long crimp clear wrap box (“guaranteed shadowless”) and apply some sort of discount. What would you value a guaranteed shadowless box? Nevertheless, the short crimp with logos seems pretty rare from my research which requires some sort of premium over unlimited, particularly as a collectors item. Unfortunately, that premium has to be extremely subjective give the rarity and lack of comps.
Lol someone cracked a case or something? Z&G just made a video on it looks like he picked one up, there was the auction one, and now Dave and Adams just listed one for 50k on their site as guaranteed shadowless lol…
Does anyone know of any recent private sales for green wing boxes with shadowless short crimp packs?
I ended up trading mine away for about 23-25K in value. But the box is not guaranteed to be shadowless.
