Just wanted to share something that only a few people noticed during LeGalaTCG in Paris.
For the first time, a French VS TMB 2001 card has appeared ! This is the last non-english set from which we didn’t know any card ! Only one set was awarded to the only French participant, so it is theoretically a 1/1 card.
I recall that someone who claimed to know the owner of the French cards commented on a TMB thread here that they didn’t want to share images in fear of the cards being faked (which apparently caused the owner of the German cards to think the same way and delete the entire thread, or that’s at least what I think has happed). So I’m not entirely sure if they either changed their mind and allowed that public display, for some reason sold the card, if there is an extra copy or the other person commenting back then wasn’t right (or if it’s me remembering something wrong, lots of options haha). Anyway, that’s a pretty interesting development indeed.
Yes we did have a German winner post here ages ago. An Italian winner appeared as well. Curious how one of the euro langue’s would do today as they are typically more niche than English and Japanese.
The German copy has now also reappeared, graded and featured by PSA on their Instagram. Makes me curious if @andremon graded the card himself or if it changed hands in the meantime.
Edit: I don’t know if PSA handles special cards like these separately, but I just noticed that the English, German and French copies that were shown all have adjacent cert numbers. So normally you’d assume they were all part of the same submission.
