For those of you who don’t keep up with instagram, a few grail sheets have popped up from instagram user benjamin.be.13. Its basically a test sheet with 2 cards each. Both are insane to see. One is a 1999 Tropical Wind along with a snap Bulbasaur. The other is a fan club Magikarp and an unreleased fan club Gyarados. ![Screenshot_20240909_150228_Instagram](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/d/2/d238cf86424b7bccb2bb80dbf39a6015b47b899d.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20240909_150314_Instagram](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/f/2/f2596626bcd9efa02d09d7445f08ddd907b74e5a.jpeg) Has anyone heard or seen any other 2 card sheets? I’m wondering if these belonged to the execs and of they could print whatever they wanted. Regardless, its crazy to see these! Other sheets: ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/2/4/2435432b7670bd4e301537eaf91e59cc981b6a68.jpeg) ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/8/4/845bfedf7bc0062d1a95dcfab0a8fb327abc54e1.jpeg) ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/3/f/3f450d608abdf80c16da2ac9f416c841a6ea18f5.jpeg) > **Backside of the magikarp/gyarados:** > > ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/a/0/a009159d54c7a0a1f292d14d111b2a23f2ae4686.jpeg) ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/3/d/3d65edebc873f1856964b18993441031c1886340.jpeg) ---

The Shining Magikarp and Gyarados were cryptically shared by Akabane on Instagram last year. > [@Did Akabane reveal an uncut Fan Club Gyarados?](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/did-akabane-reveal-an-uncut-fan-club-gyarados/44106): > > I’m busy at work right now but wanted to create this thread to gather info! Video: [[Fan Club Gyarados?] ](https://vimeo.com/873354018) This is the first time I’m seeing the Tropical Wind and Snap Bulbasaur though. Never thought I’d see those two on the same sheet. ---

Ya I vaguely recall seeing that. This benjamin.be.13 is quite lucky to obtain these two sheets. I wonder what they’d fetch at auction. ---

Why would a Tropical Wind and Snap be printed together on the same sheet? ---

Every hour a new test print/ nfc/ sheet spawns in the wild, only to be captured and slabbed by CGC ---

While I think these are amazing, it irks me that the top one got graded and got 8.5 and not AU like it should have been lol ---

This puzzles me too, you’d think they’d have only one type of card per sheet - it kind of gives the impression that an employee intentionally paired them together because they knew they were rare? ---

My guess is that they simply just printed whatever they wanted together 🤣 ---

I am fully behind the skepticism when something weird pops up. But there’s a difference between skepticism that leans towards being fake and skepticism that leans toward being real. I have little doubt that all these weird items popping up lately at least represent real artifacts. Of course it’s fair to have some reservations on some of the details. The fact that so much is appearing at once is not evidence of being fake, it is evidence of a common underlying thread. It’s no coincidence the same name keeps popping up. This is not a reply to anyone specific, moreso just to the vibe I get when reading these threads ---

A lot of it is cope/cognitive dissonance. Dismiss cool cards so I don’t have to think about never owning them. ---
