Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Is this legit?

@crazy~ When you said a test card is one with multiple errors, this is sometimes not true. When they do test cards, it is to test aspects of the card, the layout, and the machinery and process. So, it is very possible they made test cards, say, without the symbol in the energy circles, or without the numbers, just so they knew how each step of the printing process worked. We don't know for sure what was printed when for the cards, so for all we know, this could very well be a test card. The character could have been printed on in a different stage of the process, so to test this stage, they produced a batch without the character. For all we know, they could have been testing some sort of error recognition system only to realize that it was hopeless or a waste of time and then some employee took those cards.


Also, why would it make a huge difference if it was a pre-1st edition test or just a shadowless test? Both print runs were shadowless, it's just that the first batches were sent off to be stamped with the 1st edition stamp.
 
It does make a difference. Shadowless cards are first edition cards without the stamp.
My tests are pre first edition shadowless test sheets. The card must be done before it can get the 1st ed stamp.
Mine was before the 1st ed stamp therefor pre first edition . They would not stamp a sheet until it was completed.
My test was the layout, no energy symbols,no evolution picture in box, no text under the illustration and the holo was a different design.
At this point they were seeing what will work, what wouldent and how it will work.
Once they got what they needed It was "supposed"to be destroyed. Although we have seen some was saved and not destroyed.

As we all know they dident pick the holo pattern thats on my test sheet. They went with the holo pattern we all now know well.
So mine was before the 1st ed stamp,pre first edition.
What I like to know was this drowzee/gastly pre first edition or did it resulted like the rest of what we know as just shadowless.

Was this pre production or post production this is why it makes a huge difference.
By the looks of it, it looks post production aka everything is done for.

I honestly would be amaze for a test card to be post production and everything was done and sent out.

It's Supposed it came from a blister pack. Therefore post production, and since it came from a pack and not a wotc employee or someone from the inside makes me think error/misprint.

While we are on subject Blank cards are error/misprint too, would anyone argue they are test cards?
I hope not then any schmuck with a $10 bill can say they have a test card.
But then again even trophy cards have cheap cards couple hundred vs several thousand so i guess blanks are ones perspective. But w.e

Has anyone asked him to hold it up to the light to see if you can see through it?
 
Crazy, I'm just wondering how you know those test sheets were supposed to be destroyed because apparently they survived. Wouldn't somebody be risking their job if that was the case?
I'm sorry if I have missed that somewhere in the novel you have written above but I haven't had enough time to get through it all.
Also, if the blank picture cards in question are worth $100+ that doesn't mean your test cards have increased x100. These cards never sold for $1, considering nobody has seen them before. Their initial value was $100. As far as I'm concerned, you can't assign your test cards a value until they have sold multiple times. Or maybe I'm just not aware of how many times they've changed hands.
 
Hmmm... I'm thinking we should all chill until waynegg gets the card in the mail. Then we can make a better assumption of the validity and history of the card. Until then, we don't know if it's real or not. If it's fake then all of this arguing is a waste of your time imo...

Good thing I know how much they have sold for. Max price range was $150-200 for a sheet. In my opinion, any sheet above that price range is overpriced. Sheets are not cards, they do not have the same value as cards. Sheets have a value per sheet, not per cards on the sheets.
 
Unless you take your granma's scissors to them to make a collage or cut them very straight to produce cards?
:tongue:

@raichu WOTC got away with alot they prob shouldent have done. look at all the misprint/error cards over the years, all the items that were released that shouldent have.
I did not say the test drowzee/gastly was $1. I said their orignal cards the ones majority to the public is like a dollar or more depending on condition/edition.
If their normal/original cards are that price, and this test was sold 100-150x its normal value. Then in the same sense shouldent the test holo cards be the same x value to its original counter parts.

@ scott The $150-200 price range was your offer to me a couple years ago and i declined.
The highest American sheet i paid for was the base unl holo sheet which i got for about $200-250 per sheet (4 total)
There have been auctions where the base unl holo sold for more than $300 in past years. price changes depending on certain factors.

The sheets do have value to them because that is 110 cards value+ extra for being on 1 sheet. Look at auctions of full $100 bill uncut sheets. lets say theres $2000 worth of 100 dollar bills. It will sell for like 2500-3000 because they are uncut.
yes thats right people will pay an extra 500-1000 on a sheet of money because they are uncut.

Heres another way to debunk your theory, the uncut base packs are being sold for like $30 per set min. hes got thousands on the roll. If he sold Every uncut pack, he would make 10k. by the looks of it. he will reach that goal because people are buying.

Not that i would cut the cards because thats not me.But its not that hard to do, you can get a pro to cut it and then have 110 cards.
They are still valuble they are just not uncut, they can always be cut if required.


So lets say a base unl charizard is $50 thats $50x7 Thats is $350 on the charizards alone.
Then you have the rest of the cards that make up the rest of the value.

But you know what I'm glad your not interested in sheets thats more for me then.

Also scott one last thing, do you belive the cards are worth the same if cards were cut from a sheet?
lets say your opinion is right $150-200 per sheet, if 110 were cut would i still make $150-200 or more for the 110 cards because they are cut?

This is kind of apples to oranges, actually more like apples on a tree to oranges on a tree. The problem with your statement is $100 bills have a known value, while your Pre 1st edition cards don't have a value known right now except in a sheet form.

With that said if you were to take one sheet and cut it into individual cards I guarantee you would make a lot more money with each individual card. Then if you were to sell the sheets as a whole after the awareness is up and the card value is known you would make more money per sheet.


Also back to the WB error cards I don't know why I didn't think of it last night but I have three cards all with the same off-center cuts on them that proves they came from the same sheet. If I get my scanner to work I'll share my info with you guys, but don't want to take this thread off subject anymore as I like the current topic so I'll probably create another topic.
 
Crazy, I try to give you the benefit of the doubt as much as possible, but since you must relentlessly insist on living up to your name I am forced to defend myself.

First, the "offer" you are referring to was a price for someone interested.

Second, if you cut cards from a sheet you are not going to bring in a substantial amount of money. Most serious collectors know when they see 6 cards attached to one another it is from someone who cut a sheet thinking they will make a buck. If you check the completed listings of "pokemon uncut" you will see nothing sells above $100.

Lastly and most importantly, you manage to bring up your sheets in EVERY conversation when it is not relevant. This thread is about a possible error card, but somehow we are talking about crazy's sheets yet again!
 
If I had a sheet of 10 Pokemon Illustrators, it wouldn't be worth 100,000+. The sheet isn't worth all the cards values added together.
 
Im not talking about those 6 cards on a sheet, I'm talking about single cards.
Square cards from base have sold for $50 per card/few Hundred for set in the past.


Did the seller ever mention if the blister pack was a shadowless pack,1st ed pack, or one of those triangle packs im always hearing about?

"Dear s.cullers,

I purchased it directly from a guy who got them from blister packs when he
was a kid. I also have a blank card with yellow border and lots of other
good card if you want me to list tjem. thanx for your interest..."


That's what they sent me, after that I stopped contacting them because I deemed the card a fake due to the reasons I stated before, and the lines "lots of other good cards" and "bland card with yellow border" got me thinking FAKE, FAKE, FAKE.

the black triangle packs contain unlimited (not shadowless) cards. Speaking of which, I sold 1 of mine for $300 a few weeks ago :thumb:
 
We'll see when it arrives. This guy is sounding a bit fishy. I for one wouldn't buy another until the first is confirmed.
 
Well, I wish you the best.
And whatever you do don't give him a negative feedback. Or he'll expose you for "the lying thief you really are"...

Seriously, doesn't he know how bad that makes him look? And how the heck is he getting eBay to remove those anyway?
