“The story of the 49th Wizards Black Star Promo, Snorlax, Illustrated by Craig Turvey, and the only American exclusive in the Wizards era.”
Incredible insight into a hilarious conspiracy.
Stagecoach Fun Fact: This is my least favorite Pokémon card of all time. But this story is amazing.
This was a great watch. The guy is making the coolest videos!
Definitely. His content is hobby archaeology and I hope there is more to come. Feels like nobody has been able to shake out secrets like these for 20 years.
What a story. Price spike anybody? Lol.
Really interesting video, thanks for sharing! I’m curious, why is this your least favorite card of all time?
Oh, and @iroh is going to love this
I cried tbh, to learn all this information about the legend himself. It was a very emotional experience for me.
I’m also curious to know. There are plenty of art contest awards with child art. This one was just mass produced.
It’s pretty interesting. There are a lot of strange speculation being made though. Like that a few hundred page requests would take down a server? And the wotc employees didn’t want to talk about it because they entered themselves and/or were embarrassed about the site going down? Seems like a stretch. Overall it’s great to see some of the “lost history” get documented in some way
I was really surprised in the video when Turvey mentions he was actually in college when he entered and won the contest! I always thought the art was incredible for a little kid to have drawn. Regardless if this supposed conspiracy is true or not I still love the card and this just adds to the lore for me.
I do not have a good reason. I just don’t care for the artwork. But I like cards with stories, and this is a good one for sure.
Maybe I should finally pick this up for my Eeveelution collection before the inevitable “this card is super special” spike.
Cool story thanks for sharing
