Wow, this seems significant for PSA. I am very curious to see if they expand into other variants only recognized by CGC. @cataclysm80 You may find this interesting. ---

Thanks! Iā€™ve been waiting months for this announcement. Glad to see the day has finally arrived. šŸ˜€ Awhile back, PSA reached out to me for assistance with these two cards, so Iā€™ve been looking forward to the public reveal. These two cards are from an ex WotC employee, and were factory cut. Theyā€™re additional copies of the card, which hadnā€™t been shown to the public until now. Everyone can stop the accusations of sheet cutting. These two didnā€™t come from the sheets sold on Heritage, and Iā€™m pretty sure that strip of 5 cards is still in a single piece. šŸ™‚ edit: just noticed that PSA didnā€™t give these two cards a numerical grade. wonder why One of these cards is currently being auctioned on Goldin. ---

Not sure what the exact grade would be, but yeah, thatā€™s probably the reason. ---

> [@TrainOfThought](#): > > They refused to slab Snowstorm Umbreon & @pfm has proof. PSA refused to slab these Blastoise test prints years ago, but over time enough evidence has surfaced that theyā€™re comfortable with it now. Perhaps that means thereā€™s still some hope for the Snowstorm Umbreon (whatever that is)? ---

What should the price of this be? Goldin set a starting bid at $25k, but the value of various Protostoises has fluctuated dramatically over time. Obviously the real answer is, ā€œWhat someone is willing to pay for it,ā€ but that is not exactly helpful. ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/9/5/950b7ccdf96e65a366960bfe15cde9a43f6344d4.jpeg) ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/6/9/6904b8b1e2510df58ec28e0d8a685e00b18556f7.jpeg) ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/5/7/57a0eeacdfb0ce6776dc98c29f50fd35088577d2.jpeg) ---

Looking at the other Protostoise post, which shows all the sales in chronological order, you can see that the price has been going down over time. It started at 360,000 for a graded card, and the most recent sale is 162,000 for a graded card. Decreasing value is normal, as supply increases and demand gets satisfied by the supply. Then thereā€™s the row of 5 cards, which sold for 45,000. Thatā€™s a shockingly cheap price compared to the previous sale of 162k for a single card. That sheet row wonā€™t be sold so cheaply in the future, because the owner would just keep it instead. The value for this Goldin auction will depend heavily on how many people think $45k was too cheap, vs how many people think $45k was realistic. Of course the auction winner will be someone who thinks $45k was too cheap, because that group of people is willing to bid higher. ---

Most have come from people that have sent me something or if I met them in person. I only request that they use a Pokemon or artwork that they really like or that represents them in some way. The rest is up to them. [Imgur album](https://imgur.com/a/k3gWh3h) Hereā€™s the binder I keep them in. If the lawyers ask, itā€™s 100% definitely unrelated to any current TCG that may or may not be owned by Konami. ā€¦ ---
