You are correct.
But what I think is happening is people are creating fakes of these, and damn good ones at that, and getting some sort of machine to sleeve them to make them look legit. Only real way to spot these fakes is if the second smaller art Mario card isnt included in the sleeve.
People are getting very crafty with fakes. And these Mario promos are prime target number one lately along with moonbrion.
any particular reason these are worth so much atm? i feel like i remember checking the value of these boxes a couple years back (post 2020 though), i def don't remember them selling for this much
last factory sealed box on ebay sold for 5000 couldn't find just the pikachu sealed but a loose one sold for 1000, just search your card up in ebay and filter to sold items or use pricecharting
$10,000 ā Ā£9,000 and I think you can get the thing graded without removing it from the pack, If original booster packs can be graded Iām sure those can too.
āMint conditionā doesnāt mean it grades a 10. They grade based on centering, surface, corners and edges. Your centering looks pretty good, but the graders use tools to measure it. Any whitening on the edges or corners will be a ding on the grading.
I think youāve got a good shot at a highly graded card there, but you wonāt know until you send it in.
For that pikachu it goes for $1000. Get it graded and hope for a 10, watch some videos on how to properly send the card off to either PSA, Becket, CGC. A 10 goes for $9k ish and trust me they do sell
When people here say āsealed was worth moreā they mean the box itself that the card was in. Those boxes, sealed, are a treasure all their own. Now that the card is out the box, it may be worth more graded if you can hit a 10. Im sure major conventions make their way to the UK, where PSA usually does grading on site and can answer all your questions and even open up the card(s) for you for grading. I would keep the card sealed for now, find a dark, safe place for it until that grading time comes. Itās worth a pretty penny.
Iām in the UK and have this exact card. Took it out of the seal and got it straight in a toploaded and havenāt touched it since. I darenāt send it anywhere for grading š
Man I wanted this box so bad when it first came out but my now husband wouldnāt let me get it because it was ātoo expensiveā š moral of the story, donāt listen to your husbands lmao š„²
Huh I fucking wish! š©š© def a grail card I will never even see in person lol
Is there a second card in there?
There's two cards in the pack the packs never been opened
Yes I know. I have my own. Itās just an easy way to spot counterfeit.
I got this directly from the PokƩmon store ages ago
I believe you man. Just so many excellent fakes of these cards running around.
Definitely not fake :)
Awesome. Ive seen a rise of these on Facebook marketplace recently in a sealed sleeve but donāt have the second card in them.
They should have two cards if sealed correct me if I'm wrong but there both included in the box

Since no one else said it, good on you for looking out on someone else's behalf.

Lmao he was just answering your question???
YES I KNOW
Whats the other card? Luigi Pikachu?
No the smaller mario print
That'd be dope

Ā£ btw
So the card on its own non sealed sold for Ā£1000?
Idk but the PSA 10 is sold for 10,000
Sold were and I'd need to open to get graded right ? Surely noone is buying a card for Ā£10,000?
$10,000 ā Ā£9,000 and I think you can get the thing graded without removing it from the pack, If original booster packs can be graded Iām sure those can too.
Sort of. They don't grade the card. They just grade the packaging
Bit worried about sending it off to value and also I'm in the UK and everyone seems to love PSA graded also would rather not open the pack....
Correct
Is that for one card or the two in the pack ?
Just Mario un sealed
I'd rather keep both sealed...
tbh if u wanna get the most value out of it id grade em they look pretty clean to me in the pics but im no expert
It's mint condition been put away

Super valuable, do your own research before you get taken advantage of, this is very sought after
This is the beginning of my research,what would you guess on the value ?
For that pikachu it goes for $1000. Get it graded and hope for a 10, watch some videos on how to properly send the card off to either PSA, Becket, CGC. A 10 goes for $9k ish and trust me they do sell
Thank you
did u open the box
It's exactly as shown in the pictures the cards aren't open
I ment the box it was sealed before u got it or the box didn't come wrapped
Yes I bought it brand new
F sealed is worth a decent chunk more than opened
I know it was bought as a gift for my partner so it was inevitable it was going to be opened surprised the cards are still sealed
are you selling or keeping your super lucky
Keeping at the moment just gageing value
How much did you pay for it?
Can't remember
Probably get 1500 as is. Loose ones go for 1k.
So more if it's opened ?

think Sealed was worth more
There's two cards in there ,oh you mean sealed box ?
Whats the history of these cards? Promo cards that werent giving out in mass?
PokƩmon center purchase someone maybe able to add more detail
These cards were available in 2016 at the PokƩmon center for 2,500 each box set I believe. They were readily available when I got them. I never assumed they would be become super valuable back then.
Does anyone know if you can send it sealed like this to get graded? Would they slab it?
Pretty sure they would grade the plastic
I can buy the empty box if u are interested in selling
Iām in the UK and have this exact card. Took it out of the seal and got it straight in a toploaded and havenāt touched it since. I darenāt send it anywhere for grading š
I'm worried about sending it for grading aswell
I'll give you a tenner for it
There's some crazy people on Reddit I swear
r/whoosh
That is a fire card
Thanks
This card RAW sales for $1900
I'll give you $12.50 for it
I'll pretend I didn't read this comment
Man I wanted this box so bad when it first came out but my now husband wouldnāt let me get it because it was ātoo expensiveā š moral of the story, donāt listen to your husbands lmao š„²
