William did purcahse the card for $10,500. The Lucifer guy on here DOES NOT have the prerelease raichu. He is a member that spams the pokegym and ebay, same typing pattern and same story on every website.

The card that william purchased is now owned by the largest english collector in the world, david persin. David has every english card ever made, including the sample set that was only given out to employees (similar to the prerelease raichu) as well as the no 1,2 and 3 trainers from the pokemon world champinoships that are only given out to the winners.

This guy definitely knows his stuff so I would assume it to be accurate.

I wonder what the Sample set looks like :)

If it is what I am thinking of, they are not exciting. When the Pokémon Center open in New York, they handed out about 10 different cards with the word sample on them. They showed up on eBay for about $25 apiece.(I should have bought them, then)

I do not find it exciting, like exclusive Japanese cards, but they are nice for the serious collector.

Do you find it exciting that there are Japanese counterparts to the sample set?

Well i am a serious Collector when i have the $ to spend :)
 
People (including myself) have posted videos her before. It can show the cards are yours and more cards then a picture or few can. It can also show the holo type if the card is tilted or moved slightly.

Kasumi- It seems you indeed own all those cards. Kudos! If I did get fakes made they would be just 1 of each for me, easy to tell from real cards, and only so I could finally feel satisfied with my mew and mewtwo collection, since I may never can afford the real ones.
 
Here are some high res photos of my Crystal Lugia I ordered from ebay.

I just missed the Crystal Kingdra unfortunately (and it was only 40$ too!) and Kabutops. I do need a Japanese Crystal Celebi but that hasn't shown its face on ebay in a long time.

Japanese Crystals are so much better than the English prints but soooo hard to find. @_@

The video does this justice! and unfortunately my voice is revealed. Now you know what I sound like!

That's part of my collection, you don't have to watch the whole thing.

I know it's quite small compared to many people's haha. But I'm glad I finished the ex's and the crystals.

It's that time again! New cards new cards! The second last BW era set EVER. Megalo Cannon came out last friday in Japan and my boxes arrived today bright and early much to my delight.

Fresh fresh cards. I ended up missing 25 (Eelektross), 45 (Archeops), 74 (G-Scope ACE Spec), 77-78+80 through 86 (SR/UR cards) but otherwise I did a good run with both my boxes! I do loathe ACE Spec cards though, they've completely botched the ratios :(

33940_original.png

All the EX cards of the BW9 set block! Kyurem snuck in there because he can, the others all hail from Megalo Cannon.

Sooooo deliciously shiny.

The only SR I pulled was JirachiEX, and it was a nice prelude to the fact that two packs later I pulled the normal.

Together~

The Blastoise+KyuremEX deck is a big and beautiful thing. It's one of those 60 card mix decks which only really have 18 (+2 including non-holo KyuremEX and Blastoise) cards out of the numbered run.

35152_original.png

The deck all laid out. Blastoise coin in this one, of course.

And to top everything off? I got a really sweet surprise package from my friend Miki today!! Full of sweets and TORCHICS! Torchics are a secret love/weakness of mine, only made worse by recently having gotten chickens myself as yard pets. Such a good surprise to wake up to ;c;
 
Nooooo but Ace Specs are the best what are you saying :( You even got Scoop Up Cyclone which is the cooooooooolest.

also hi surskit i see you
 
ACE Spec cards are horrible in terms of collecting though because they've changed the box ratios due to them being a high-tier rare like the EX cards. Chuck in three of those + 5 EX cards and you've got an annoying set to finish, basically.
 
Mmmm, I can understand why that would be really annoying especially in a set like Megalo Cannon. They're still pretty cool, though... Something I'd collect after getting everything else, probably (which from what I can tell will not be a hard thing to do lmao)
 
Wow, those cards look awesome! Makes me want to buy that box even more now...
Do you guys buy from AmiAmi? I'm planning to buy there as the prices seem good.
Also this isn't too relevant, but how many of each trainer/energy are there in the Blastoise/Kyurem EX deck?
 
I wanted to buy a box but if Ace-Specs take the place of a SR that's really frustrating. I only buy boxes for the guaranteed SR. Although one user posted he pulled a Virizion and Iris SR plus an Exeggcute shiny.

I am going to go ahead and gamble my money anyway hope I pull the cards I need to make the boxes worth it. If not, overpriced Japanese singles on ebay, here I come!
 
Full Art Jirachi~~~~ That's the FA from this set I'd really love to get. Because I'm poor, my boxes are coming slowslow mail, so I probably won't get them until sometime in April. Thanks for sharing!
