WTB: Gyarados XY Promo -- All Languages

Hello all,

So I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. Ever since the XY Promo came out for Gyarados, I’ve been obsessed with the art, so much so, that I repeatedly keep thinking that I want to grade some cards in every language in hopes of completing a perfect PSA 10 set in every language.

Just look at that beautiful mug.

So I’m looking to purchase your XY Promo’s in every language or trade (keep in mind I don’t have much unless you’re looking for bulk commons/uncommons with a few rares in the mix). Requirements that it has to look as Mint as Mint as possible and the centering has to be on point!

So hit me up! This will be my first attempt at getting anything graded so I’m excited to give it a go.

To my knowledge this guy was only English, German and Japanese (and no Italian) but I didn’t really research further would be cool if there was French!

I have one spare German XY but would be NMish,

These will be an awesome challenge to get a 10 on as a lot I have seen are off center and the 3/4 holo makes it an easy target for the odd scratch

Definitely correct. I like things in 3’s, so that works out well. Though I’m considering doing the “STAFF” promo as well just for the hell of it, but maybe hold that off till I get the 1st three.

I agree too to the idea of the Leviator version if there was ever a French one. :stuck_out_tongue: I still would be interested in your Spare German one for the sake of just collecting. We need to figure out a trade soon of some extras we have that we can help offer each other. I’ll send you a PM soon.

@azulryu For sure I am just waiting for my YJ order to arrive then I will know what spares I have, will pm you as soon as I get them :blush:

Maybe a French member here can help if there is in fact a Leviator?

All I could find was this. But I’m sure you already have it bookmarked lol

@shizzlemetimbers Sounds good. And yeah, I’d be interested in seeing if there’s a Leviator one.

@fritz, thanks so much! But I already have one that I’m planning on grading. Besides, that’s almost twice the price of what the German ones I’ve seen go for and it’s not sleeved which makes me hesitant to buy. I’m going to be wicked picky for the sake of my collection and especially for my poor wallet. Haha.

Thank you though for keeping an eye out! Let me know if you come across anything more!

Bump.

Still looking for these! Specifically with English and German. Have two Japanese ones that I will be grading but want to acquire a few of the others. I know there’s a bunch on ebay right now, but I’ve asked pretty much everyone for more detailed pictures.

Looking for perfect centering, no nick, scratches, or markings. Want that PSA 10!

You gonna try sneaking the German one through psa?

I wish. But sadly the thing has a nick on the back. Might be a 9 but not a 10. Might have to purchase a few ones on ebay blindly as I can’t seem to contact the people who sell the German ones and are selling multiple copies.

It’s proving more difficult that originally thought!

that Gyarados art is insane, good luck with the grading! I have a feeling I’m going to be going through a similar ordeal when Awakening of Psychic Kings is released for Alakazam xD.

I think was what woolsluk meant was PSA doesn’t accept Pokemon cards in foreign languages. It’s english and Japanese only iirc.

The only exception is they’ll grade every language of the base set.

Ooooooh. See I’m a newbie to this kind of thing. Did not know that. Thanks for the heads up, guys!

Hmm. What’s BGS’ stand on German Pokemon cards?

@darkrai I think has a suicune gold star in German that he managed to sneak through the PSA system, it’s not labeled German or anything like that though. As for BGS I really am not sure if they grade more than base set foreign language variants as with PSA.

Once you have them all, please make one awesome picture of all together

It’s a must.

I think I’ll try calling BGS and see if I can speak to a representative about my question.

And @aj1 and @missingno, oh trust me, that’ll be happening as long as that’s still a possible reality. :stuck_out_tongue:
