Hey everyone.sharing my disco holo collection. Just made a sub to cgc for verification. But wanted to share some photos and gather thoughts as I’m planning on selling some raw and ungraded.
The sheet that mine came off was from multiple cuts that contained machamps , magneton has no stats(other sheet did) and some of the number designations on the cards have errors (both Chansey and clefairy are 5/102 ) and venusaur and Zapdos are 15/102 . Finish on front is slightly glossier than production cards , and back is a darker blue( which is common in vintage wotc sets)
i am actually curious on the process cgc uses to grade these… thought they had to come directly from the sheet as part of the verification or through “known submitters” so u cant just submit individual ones willy nilly
If this was the case, it isn’t anymore. I confirmed just the other day with CGC that the cards can already be cut when submitted. They don’t need to come directly from an uncut sheet.
All depends , since these have minor variations from the previous sheet they’ve graded , they may need to complete an entirely new verification off a full sheet from what I’ve been told. I’ve submitted singles already just hoping for the best lol .
I just spent half hour reading that thread, I doubt someone dumped them because of mine. Not many people knew I had these . I’m pretty private with my collection and what I collect.
I also only collect vintage , aside from the reprints Pokemon had made for their anniversary sets. So I’m not on YouTube or any platforms doing pack rips etc.
But I do collect some vintage boootleg items like pokemon toys and vending stickers but not many.
I’m also not attesting to these being authentic (as of now) but the unfortunate part is that cgc is the only company that has previously graded cards similar to these . So they end up being my only option for authentication. But since the play test issue people are skeptical of cgc .
So as of now this is just an information post.
Could they be fake ? possibly, when I bought them I thought they were because no one really was following test prints trends . And these would’ve been quickly dismissed as authentic for obvious reasons .
I’m bias because I own them . But still won’t sell or dump because I know being on the hook for thousands wouldn’t be pleasant lol .
The filler card I sold has to go through eBay’s authentication ( hopefully it passes) and I sold 3 other cards but I made it transparent to the buyers and even provided them with this link to read through for updates .
It’s also not a definitive test. All it demonstrates is that they didn’t cheap out on the cardstock used. And if it didn’t have a core, that would perhaps not be suprising for a test print.
That said there is little doubt of the authenticity today.
Im just glad you decided to break your lurker status! There are so many lurkers on E4 it’s great to see something especially like this be shared! I agree a binder of them would be cool. And I should tag that filler rip as nsfw!
