Tamamushi University Magikarp, what does everyone think?

@sartzcharz , I was known in a local spanish TCG community due to my interest in e-Cards and hunting rare cards like JR East Stamp Rally Surfing Pikachu. Like 2 years ago, someone sent me a message asking me for an opinion of a card. And the card itself was the University Magikarp. It was an ungraded sample and he wanted to know the price of it (because he was selling it). Told him it was a highly important card and a valuable card. It was a card with a lot of history. After like 2 years, I decided to talk him again to ask about the Magikarp. He told me that the card is no longer with him. Also, he sent 2 Charizard.

That is a fake unikarp and so are the charizards behind it

I used to really dislike this card, and I believe I posted in the unpopular opinion thread a couple of years ago saying it was ugly/overrated.

After reading the history of the card and my collection becoming more Japanese than English, I’ve changed my mind and would really love to buy a low-grade copy in the future.

It’s nothing personal, just being mentioned for posterity.

I’ve only seen the card in that picture because everything was via chat. That was the only experience I had with that card.
I’m planning to buy the Web version … 99% discount compared to Unnumbered one.

Btw, how can you detect a fake card???

[poketraveler]

Those are moving in price too, better grab them soon.

They are experts, plus the design,colors and text are off

Well, the angle shown in the only picture I received didn’t helped me much …

It’s truly ok, they just want to make sure people know it’s not real so that these photos won’t be used as real.

Lots of fakes being pass around.

I haven’t noticed that when I checked the card. I checked it when I was starting with old TCG … and now, comparing a PSA Sample with the image one, I noticed that what you said is true … Thanks for all!!!

Love the Unikarp, what an insane release. Could the Magikarp knowing Dragon Rage before its time be analogous to the winning kids knowing all of the answers/being gifted?

Yea I recently discovered the Unikarp and the history behind it and I can say its the most interesting card I have heard of personally. I dont believe anything else screams “I want to be the very best” than Tamamushi University and the UniKarp A real life Pokemon scenario! The lvls of dedication in 1998 to obtain such a piece are unmatched!
