Shadowless box?

General
1

I just sniped this. Could it be shadowless? I’ve been looking at this all week. Decent price as hardly anyone bid, so I could resell it or keep it anyway. And it could be worth 3x as much.

All the signs are there. I can’t see anything wrong. Only that it could be resealed wrapping that would suggest it wasn’t. I highly doubt though.

The seller took basic pictures and gave a basic description. He sold a shadowless blister pack last week, he confirmed to me that he had opened a few himself. I’ll take his word for it. Didn’t seem to really understand how popular there are now. He is selling a fossil blister atm and previously sold packs.

All his listings started at 99p. And since he has 13 feedback (all as a buyer) suggests he didn’t know the price point.

If anyone could take a quick look at this for me and confirm or argue against it possibly being shadowless that would be great.

I should find out in a few days lets hope.

Did you ask for pictures of the side of the box that features charizard?

Wait there are 2 venusaurs feature on base set boxes?!?! Shouldn’t it be blastoise, venusaur, charizard and the description of the box?

Ive been looking for a box for some time.

Ill murder you for it.

and then we have a deal.

I hope its shadowless. It is orphallliane ode that he had a blister and wrote shadowless, but made a listing with no description of whether it was shadowless and 2 pictures of venusaur side.

No pictures of the charizard and clear plastic wrap is a bad sign

two side have venusaur is a bad sign

Yeh. Just had a relook. Really bad on my part. Doh

I haven’t paid for it yet though. Maybe I should anyway, I’m protected at least. Dilemma.

The weeniesaur has no green X behind it, meaning this box does have the green winged charizard on the other side. Since it also has clear wrap, that’s 2/3 signs of a shadowless box. If there’s a single country on the bottom (difficult to tell) you may have hit the jackpot.

It’s the same side photographed from 2 angles. And clear wrapping is a good sign, not bad.

hmmm didnt know about the green ting behind beanasaur.

I’m pretty sure if the weenie has an X behind it, it’s the non-green winged charizard box. I could be wrong though.

12

As far as I am aware there is only one venusaur side on a box. One pic has the seal going across venusaur and the other doesn’t, so it can’t be the same side.

Edit: Emote face looked angry for some reason and I was going for confused so I changed it.

Your correct. Venusaur on the front, Blastoise and Charizard on the side and a wall of text on the back with no picture.

Pictures 1 and 2 are NOT the same box.

The wrapping in picture one is in line with ‘Gotta Catch Em All’. You can see the seal on the side of the box just sticking out. Picture 2, it is a lot lower down on the box and you can see that the plastic has been sealed with a line across the front of the box. It doesn’t show this on the 1st picture.

Also damage to both bottom corners in picture 2 that isn’t visible in picture 1.

I don’t think its legit :face_with_spiral_eyes:

The two venusaur photos are definitely not from the same box.

Those pictures are not the box you’re going to receive.
Ask him for a pic of just the bottom of the actual box he’s going to mail you. Do this before you pay.

18

The first picture is from a youtube thumbnail from 2012. The 2nd and 3rd pictures might be legit, but something seems super fishy…

19

Ok thanks for pointing out the seal… it looks like 2 different boxes. Don’t pay until you get a picture of the real thing.

No it’s not, one has a seam and one doesn’t, purposely not showing the zard on a clear wrap box could mean it’s blue wings, which means it’s a reseal
