What's the story behind this PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator?

Hello guys, I was just talking to a guy on youtube and he claimed Scott had sold a PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator for 150 000 dollars, but I think I have never heard Scott talk about that sale in his videos.

He gave me this link : www.ebay.com/itm/181623064279

What’s the story behind this, is it real? I actually thought there were no PSA 10 of this card. I would like to know more about it :blush:

Oh that’s it, I was wondering why I could not find the record of that card on PSA.
I’m surprised Scott didn’t show this one in his video nor talked about it (I think?), it’s probably in a safe storage I guess. :blush:

it was sold awhile back. There’s a story behind how it got PSA 10. That’s probably the reason he doesn’t talk about it. If someone wants to talk about it.

Someone else has this Illustrator now

Me too !
Was there some problem around the sale?

The last thing I heard was that they sent it for regrade multiple times until it finally got a 10. Never seen a picture of it or actually heard who now owns the 10 copy

Leaving a comment to follow up on this story

So Scott sold this? I thought he never sold something that he didn’t have a double of?

He had two. He has a youtube video of it

It’s not a true 10. Has damage.

what sort of damage.

Fixed original post. Weird corner chip.

do you have picture of this card.

synd must see.

Nope.

So it’s only an official PSA 10 but truly is a 9 or less?
Did he sell it for less than what he sold his last PSA 9 illustrator for ? And not on ebay then, right? Because as I looked on the forum for this sale, I saw a thread where the most expensive sales were listed, and this one was not in it, was it made outside of ebay?

Didn’t @hapycakeoven own it?

I remember someone in the forum put it up in their collection thread back in the UPCCC days. I can only vaguely remember who it was though.
