Nah, it was 2 low feedback (japanese accounts) bidder bidding against each other up from 340k back and forth up to 2 mill. Know easily enough when negative feedback is left.
The ungraded seems to have some damage on the back on the most blurry picture.
Guess it will not get a 7 so might as wel go for that one if anyone is looking for a Khan.
Indeed both those links are just drop sellers trying to flip the card for a little profit. Risky but very common practise.
Its not scamming, the fact that the ebay links were attached and not the original auction links shows their ability to advertise to a wider audience and how unaware people are of japanese sites.
I was just showing the raw copy of the card that graded a 7 as well as showing the price big japanese stores are willing to pay.
Trophies would have been interesting if they were all personalized. It would have removed anonymity from someone selling on their trophy, however it would have also removed doubt on what were extra copies an what weren’t. I personally like knowing that I bought all the pika trophies I own from the winners direct and I can make that tie to their face/story.
Not saying they should do this going forward, nor that I am butt hurt about extra copies. It just would be interesting to know what effect that would have had from all the different aspects. Would value be higher due to less people willing to sell having no anonymity? Would value be lower due to the “personalization”? How would extra copies fare in this scenario or would they even see the light of day/ever have existed?
