Anyone ever seen an error card like this before? www.ebay.com/itm/Lapras-Holo-10-62-Fossil-BLANK-HOLO-CARD-Pokemon-Card-Single-RARE/233023918041

Probably posting that here will get the guy a sale within an hour :rofl:

That isn’t an actual error. They removed lapras with acetone. You can see part of the process on the lower border above the word “weight”.

I noticed that missing part of the border, and figured it was just a factory misprint. Never knew one could use acetone to manipulate cards that way.

Yep. They’ve been doing it since 2001, when people would sell them to local shops to prey on totally innocent eBayers like this.

For everyone who has already seen this item, you’ll never forgive me for this lol (you nasty vultures).
I won’t be able to afford this at the price it will likely reach so I will share it with everyone else!

Looks like a greystamp PSA 7 to me. What do you guys think it will sell for? I’d probably offer up to $1500 (if I had the money).

‘No shadow charizard ‘ :rofl::rofl: could just say 1st edition

Well there goes my chance now of sniping it…

I just spoke to the seller and they received an offer of 1500ÂŁ which is quite substantial. No sniping for you ;p

“Sniping” is relative :rofl: However the more eyes an on auction, the worse the odds. Never post up any auction you actually want to win, or if you do post it after the fact :unamused:

I am truly everything collectors hate :smiling_imp::smiling_imp::smiling_imp:

It says no longer available, listing has ended. I guess he accepted the ÂŁ1500 offer then?

Considering the guy wrote he has no idea what it’s worth, that’s a heck of an offer. And a risk from the buyer. The back looks very good but on a white background you can never be too sure of the true condition. Plus the holo pictures are the same. Unless he put it at an angle in a light or sunlight then you aren’t able to see if there are any scratches.

On this basis the buyer is risking an 8 grade for any value.

That seems likely. I was really looking forward to seeing how high it would have gone :slightly_frowning_face:

It would have gotten a 7 at best, no chance it gets an 8 with that centering

PSA 9’s and 10’s exist with that centering FWIW.

Wow! That’s some trash PSA is signing off on then :thinking:

I haven’t seen this art academy listed in a while.

Oh wow, looks to be the same photos and everything. Way cheaper on YJ too!

Silly people trying to “middleman” (read: drop ship) Y!J auctions.

Are these french first edition blisters legit? Haven’t seen them before. They look slimmer than english versions and the plastic is different than the english version (square corners)
