Looks like the seller āborrowsā lots of pictures from previous owners. I guess the prices are also a lot higher what you got from selling back then ?
A big problem is it confuses customers who start doubting whether one of you really have the item.
Itās an extra step which can be really time consuming but for rare items, put your name in the pics.
Thatās probably the price he is willing to let it go at. I know that I wouldnāt want to let mine for 10 to 15k. Iāve been fortunate enough to spend around 7500 to 10k and got around 35 to 45 PSA 10 Gold Stars along with numerous PSA 10 exs. All of that has afforded me the ability to greatly offset the cost Iāve actually paid for my gold stars by half.
If you have the money itās not too hard to get close to completing it. Check out PSA GRADED POKEMON on youtube. Heās probably spent 10k on PSA 10 gold stars. He paid top dollar and is only around half way done. Heās only been at it for about 6 weeks.
" Rocketās Raikou ex was not included in the main set. It appeared in Japan first as a Battle Road Promotional card and later as an insert with a Team Rocket Strikes Back Special Edition set (which included one Deck Kit and two Booster Packs). The English version featured as the secret box-topper for EX Deoxys. "
Well the illustrator ended lower than its average price tag of $10k. I wonder if this is the start of all illustrator ending low since we now know how many were printed. Even the japanese werent bidding on this like they usually did in the past.
