Good friend of mine was just awarded this amazing thing for “Exceptional Contributions” to the Pokémon Professor community.
It features exclusive reprints of most of the Galar gym leader full art Trainers with the “Professor Program” stamp. According to the video, only five were awarded in 2021:
Even if they reuse the same SWSH gym leaders for the 2022/2023, 10-15 copies of each would make them amongst the rarest Full Art Trainer cards in any language surely?
First the exclusive Top 8/Champion promos for the Professor Cups, now this. Hope I can win one in the future!
Good chance if they reuse the same ones for 2022, that 1-2 of them might go up for sale eventually. They’d probably take them out the frame though and sell through someone else, like with the Ishihara GXs
First publicly shown Professor Program 2024 award plaque features eight new exclusive stamped promos of Paldea gym leaders. Guess they were waiting for Prismatic to come out for Brassius.
No idea if we’ll see similar amounts to the 2023 award, but once again these will be the hardest cards to acquire for master set collectors and definitely the rarest Iono card.
