Hey everyone,
So since my last post awhile back asking opinions on pricing the market has dried up and no 100% shadowless boxes are on the market anymore. I am saying this ofc because all current shadowless boxes listed do not have pictures of the crimps. Because of this if a box came to market with all the correct signs of being a legit 1st print shadowless box what do you think it would fetch at auction?
Please let me know your opinions and any market facts you might have.
Thanks!

Good luck. It took me an annoying amount of time to find a nice one. FYI this one is almost certainly not shadowless: www.ebay.com/itm/Pokemon-Base-Set-GREEN-WING-Booster-Box-1-CODE-CLEAR-WRAP-Red-Bar-Up-Shadowless/333339229038?epid=9026714747&hash=item4d9c90fb6e:g:B30AAOSwu9NdijDe
Yes i know that one does not have long crimp and is sad that a higher end seller is being shady about it…
Even this box isnt 100% and ive asked the seller for pics of the crimps…and nothing.

So from what ive gathered is a real 100% box is extremely hard to find and pricing seems to be hard to pin point. If you found a mint case fresh box would you be willing to pay 15k?
They can have short crimp and still likely be shadowless in a booster box compared to a blister. But in the link I mentioned from DA cardworld, the ARTWORK isn’t even shadowless on the booster packs, the logo placement is unlimited style.
I am surprised the seller of that $50k OBO picture would not give you crimp photos. It can be pretty tricky depending on how the packs are stacked to get a good photo of any crimp, it took me a while and lots of different angles, eventually upside down in the dark with flash worked the best! If you mention you would offer if they can provide a photo they may be more inclined.
As for price, well you can sell packs advertised as light for $250. So that’s $6,000 from light packs. Depends on whether or not you value 12 heavy packs at $9,000.
15k would be solid.
I sold a Green Wing box with Wotc wrappinng that I guaranteed would have Shadowless inside for 10k… if it were clear wrap I would’ve be firm and sold it at 15k
Just for some figures on heavy shadowless packs.
Ive been passively selling heavy packs and offers never exceed $550. Not saying it wont sell for more just but thats what im being offered.
Yes i am aware that the box they are selling has unlimited packs which someone has removed the wotc logos as well, unfortunately they still have “Shadowless?” in the ad just to add value…very sad. And that box for 50k has no legit proof of crimps so it cannot be confirmed either.
Now What i am getting at is the 1st print shadowless box that has clear wrap and long crimps inside, ignoring the other variants because uncertainty what would you value it at? Im going to agree with swolepoke that it should be 15k minimum just due to the rarity of the box. I know very few people with the box in their collection and have not seen many legit confirmed boxes go for sale over the past couple years.
I have someone who has a guaranteed box out of shadowless case with the long crimp, no logos, one country code for $14,500. Message me if you want his contact. I was actually very close to purchasing but deciding to get my dirt lot backyard landscaped instead.
I appreciate the offer but im still saving right now, thank you though. Are you still going to try and buy one? I personally dont find good sources often, your the first. BTW your channel is 10/10 always keep up with the latest video!
