Thanks bud, I sincerely appreciate that! Yeah I couldn’t agree more though, Tower of Terror is SUCH a great episode. Definitely in my top 5 list for sure. And than when I saw this card, being completely Holo & in the condition that it was in; I was like I absolutely HAVE to have this card. Lol. But thanks for the kind words & the comment! I always enjoy responding back!

Oh my goodness. I REALLY want this card now. I never knew there was this Jolteon Promo card out there, and usually I have almost every Promo card there is from the newer stuff. Super interesting, thanks for posting this! I’m going to look for one for myself right now!

I also saw the same post and I ran to eBay, ha! Very cool cover. Where can you order old covers?

@inchy5000 the Condé Nast store has them, here is the link to this specific one: condenaststore.com/featured/new-yorker-november-1st-1999-harry-bliss.html

There are a couple of other Pokemon sketches (just search ‘Pokemon’ if you want to see them) but in my opinion this is far and away the best one.

The jolteon came in the 3 pack battle styles blister. There is an eevee version too and you can still find the blisters online for less than $15

That’s awesome! How rare is the victory cup and how much was it if you don’t mind me asking?

The 2012 + 2013 Victory cups are fairly rare. Korea only had a single National Championships event each year in Seoul, with a single tournament for Juniors, Seniors, and Masters players. The first day of the event was for VGC, and the second day was for the TCG.

They distributed 1 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze cups (for 3rd - 4th) per division, so the total distribution is 3/3/6 for 2013.

You can read more here: pokumon.com/article/korean-world-championship-series-2012/

As for the price, it was a 4-digit amount in USD. Korean trophy cards used to sell back in 2018 for 150k-450k won ($150-450 USD~), but have risen in price by a good amount. More recent years are more common since they had more events IIRC.

Wife says I got a problem. I tell her it’s that I can’t find a 4th. :blush:

@toybot Awesome set! I have struggled to find a Raichu for far too long now lol

Sorry, it seems I took the entire market. I just checked the entire Base Set Raichu Ebay listings and found nada. Just keep searching “base set raichu” and sort by newly listed then check upto the last day. Eventually one will pop up. I couldn’t find many Raichu’s, not even a single graded one.

That was difficult to find, straight from the original contest winner!

Truth! Alongside HGSS which is the remake aesthetic respect we deserved and the formula to how Pokemon TCG generations are portrayed today. Thank you for sharing, any Arceus spotlight is always yearned for the next one.

Got my first CGC slab in today. I like the slab more than I thought I would although the label is still a bit large for my taste.

Got an amazing lot in today. A complete mint ADV-P set. I absolutely love the Shogakukan Elementary School magazine promos and the Gym Start Lottery promo Kirlia.
