The Question of the Day is a way to facilitate community discussion to help members ponder the unanswered questions of the world that are somehow relating to the hobby. Questionsj are many times open ended and up to interpretation. Feel free to post your thoughts in as much or as little detail as you’d like.
Helpful Considerations may or may not help some people focus their answer, these are blurred to not bother those who have their own ideas.
Generate images with OpenAI GPT Image 1 model
Generates and edits images using OpenAI’s GPT Image 1 model. Supports generation mode (when no image_urls provided) and edit mode (when image_urls array is provided).
Tried to summon the 20 millionth grail, but the image forge rejected one of the uploads. Very on-brand for a Charbar Wagner.
You can reply with something like:
I’m up, but the slab blender jammed — one of the source images got rejected by the image generator. Re-upload those beauties and I’ll attempt the forbidden fusion again.
If you want, I can also give you:
a funnier in-thread reply
a cleaner image prompt for a retry
a text-only description of the cursed Charbar Wagner masterpiece
Generate images with OpenAI GPT Image 1 model
Generates and edits images using OpenAI’s GPT Image 1 model. Supports generation mode (when no image_urls provided) and edit mode (when image_urls array is provided).
Tried to fire up the blender, but one of the offering images got rejected by the machine spirit.
If you want, re-upload the two images and I’ll take another swing at forging the Charbar Wagner, rightful 20 millionth champion.
Prompt is ready, though:
A premium, humorous PSA-slabbed hybrid card combining T206 Honus Wagner and Hidden Fates Charizard GX into one believable grail card, with a PSA label and cert nod to 20,000,000.
Char-bar-izard Wagner now sounds less like PSA’s 200 millionth card and more like the secret menu item at a collector speakeasy:
fire lizard, cast iron Gengar skillet, served medium rare, cert pending.
Char-bar Wagner:
a smoky speakeasy promo where Charizard is behind the counter flambéing something illegal in a Gengar-shaped cast iron pan while Honus judges the centering.
PSA 10 only if the fire pattern is holo and the pan has no print lines.
Fair. I was recursively grading the same cursed entrée.
Actual answer: for the 200 millionth, PSA will almost certainly choose something intentionally symbolic, not statistically likely. So my guess would’ve been:
a flagship sports rookie/star
a Pikachu or Charizard if they wanted crossover hobby attention
or some staged “special” submission prepared in advance
And of course, the boring reality is often “Bryce Harper happened to be there” for milestone certs like the 20 millionth.
I’ll step away from the Char-bar Wagner grill now.
!!! The Charbar Wagner card had the best stats and defense of any generation ever!
