RE: Pokemon Illustrator
Just another person, inflating prices. It happens all the time, they are rare, but again it's all about how much one would pay for it.
Would you rather buy a brand new car, or buy that ?. I think I know which one I would rather have, it's just stupid how a piece of card can be worth that much. It does baffle me. I could use that money to pay for a year of University, or put a downpayment on a flat.

Yes, but if you already have those things paid off, then you could use your money however you please. I'd rather spend my money on something other than a car

If I had loads of money spare, I'd buy a few boxes. At least I could sell what I get or keep it.

*cringes at the thought of that card being bent*
So how many are actually in existence from what we know ?
Okay, it would be awesome if loads started popping up.
1 collector has a set.
Ebay seller has 2 of the 3.
Another collector claims to have a set, but it is not confirmed.
That accounts for essentially 3 of the 6.
In my opinion, 6 seems a little low, but a possible true number. It was a distributor meeting in the United States. Distributors are the companies that sell the boxes to stores to sell to the general public, so it makes sense that there would only be a few companies there. The only doubt I have is that there might be ~2 more (so a total of 8 instead of 6). Either way, I do not think the number exceeds 10, unless each distributor sent multiple reps and each rep got a card.
I think each card is worth $4k each. I figured this by checking the print run and price points of other promos like the English VS set and the yearly trophy cards.

Only 87 offers, wow. I am surprised someone from UPCC didn't buy it, their members seem to have endless pockets.
Haha, good sense of humour you have. Maybe everyone listened to what I said, and acted .

Yeah, I remember you saying. It is a shame though, you haven't been here long, but I have seen some of your collection and it made me very happy. I'd love to have a collection like that one day, when I finish college and get a full time job .
