Kind of a random one for you. My LGS just got in a pop 1 PSA 10 crosshatch Pokemon Collector promo from the Player Rewards Program. I’ve tried to do a bit of digging, but I can’t find much about the distribution of these cards. Are these actually rare or just so niche that no one really grades them? By no means am I asking “should I buy this?” more so interested in the history and trying to find out if it falls into my collecting interests. Aka “should I care”? Haha.
My guess is that nobody grades them. There are plenty available in the U.S. and Canada.
Here’s some information from Bulbapedia:
A special Crosshatch Holofoil print of the English HeartGold & SoulSilver print was awarded as a Player Reward to players who successfully reached Tier Two of the 2011-2012 season.
Thanks! Yeah, that’s kinda what I figured. Figured it was worth checking with the experts, haha. Seems like it wouldn’t be too hard to find a raw card in decent condition if I ever wanted to.
