Half of it’s rarity comes from being undesirable, and the other half from XY UED being such a pain to find.

Holy moly! That’s super cool. How did you get your hands on the cards back then? I find the story and the whole myth surrounding these cards absolutely fascinating.
It’s a Bandai Special Promo Jumbo Carddass Pikachu card to promote Part 3 and 4.
It was given to participants of the 1997 Tokyo Toy show, held at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center(Tokyo Big Sight Inc.) from March 19th to 23rd (General Open Day is 22nd and 23rd).

Excluding any of my autos and just having a regular card, this would be one of my rarer cards. Only 1 PSA 10 and 26 PSA 9s. Total pop is 61.
The centering on most of these cards are the reasons why they likely got 8s.
Even though this card is rare, its not too pricey given its significance which is nice if you like to collect pokemon history and exclusive art!

Probably my made in USA Portuguese Charizard. It’s different than the made in Belgium ones. The global pop for all is around 180 across grading companies. I think the USA pop is single digits but they are not recognized by grading companies. I have only seen 2 booster boxes surface. I ripped mine from a box I bought.

In terms of rarity probably the early correction Ancient Mew. I have the Venusaur Topsun blueback no number card, the Charizard Meiji 1999 embossed “Lizardon” card, & Psyduck Munch card, but I think that Mew is rarer.

My WHF Metang is probably not very rare? I know it’s hard to find, but they do pop up. Though I’m not entirely sure either. Total Pop 61 at PSA.
Gencon Treecko might be harder to find, but they still do pop up semi-frequently on Ebay as well. POP 12 in a 7 at PSA, total POP 78 across all grades.

PSA doesnt recognize the no number cards but they changed the label of the 96’ Corocoro Pikachu 100 times this year alone.

That’s a crazy slab, never seen those. Do they post pop reports? I was trying to figure out some graded pops for a few of my MTG cards. They seem to be like pop 5-20 including all higher graded cards. MTG collectors notoriously hate graded cards but one day someone will care since they are pop 1,008 for rares supposedly.

Is European grading… the slab is extremely sturdy.
I don’t think that they post the pop of their grading unfortunately.
in my understanding it seems that summer Magic’s commons are way more rare than the rare one due to the fact that employees had the chance to pick cards from the bin before the destruction of the wrong printing run. For example registered magic summer unsummon are very scarse

I think this is rarer than most of my Pokemon trophy cards. Only given to Wizard of the Coast employees in charge of the Universes Beyond project (e.g. Secret Lair, different IPs becoming MTG cards).
The name of the card - Byode Inverse Sun - is an anagram of Universes Beyond. The card is also a Commander specialising in using Universes Beyond cards.
