I don’t say this lightly, GRAIL ACQUIRED!!
This, is by far, my most sought out Snorunt card.
I’ve spent over $500 buying up slabs over the course of two years in the hope that I could submit it myself. If you know EX Emerald, there’s a miserable amount of off center cards and printlines galore. I’ve bought PSA 8s, PSA 9s, and even listings claiming to be pack fresh.
Imagine my surprise when I’m checking out potential PSA 9 scans to crack, and I see “Pop Higher: 1”. Who has it? Where is it? Is it going up for sale? All I could do was pray that it wasn’t going into a set collector’s briefcase for a decade. Two weeks later, it appeared on eBay. It was gaining views and watchers like crazy. I knew if I didn’t bite, there was a high possibility I’d never see it again.
There is a fragment of me that is kind of upset that I didn’t grade it myself with how much time and money I’ve put into trying to make that Pop 1 happen myself but I’m more relieved that it’s finally over.
PSA 8 - Pop 28
PSA 9 - Pop 22
PSA 10 - Pop 1
