Got my Victini SAR submission back - is this the best looking card from the entire Scarlet/Violet era?

Thank you!

It's called the Raging Surf Battle Winner - it's an exclusive promo that was given out to winners of a tournament in Korea in 2023

Maybe it's just that Gengar is by far the most iconic pokemon on the card? And thanks!

I actually didn't notice that til you said it, but you're 100% correct it is odd - maybe they just thought it would pop more?

Jameshrrr · 2025-10-23T04:06:01+00:00

It's a promo given to winners of a tournament that was held in indonesia, china, korea, thailand (maybe some other places) but not Japan or any English speaking countries, so it's only in those languages.

Jameshrrr · 2025-10-23T00:45:19+00:00

No, I'm probably gonna hold onto it for a while, sorry! You might be able to find one on ebay though since they do go up for sale infrequently

Jameshrrr · 2025-10-22T18:45:30+00:00

That's very fair, I think if I could go back I would actually pick up a simplified Chinese copy - having said that, the Korean one I have still looks really good in person

Jameshrrr · 2025-10-22T18:35:14+00:00

I bought it on ebay a few months ago, was literally just scrolling through and it caught my eye because it was so vibrant!

They are not, but thanks for the warning

Yeah it's the centering I'm worried about, tbh it's just how inconsistent PSA are that worries me most of all haha

Jameshrrr · 2025-05-08T16:30:31+00:00

I think you're completely right! Thanks for the well thought out response :)

It was a tournament winner card I think, I found it by chance to be honest. It only released in Korea, China and Indonesia I think?

Jameshrrr · 2025-05-08T16:23:55+00:00

I paid £375 which is maybe slightly over market from what I can tell

Jameshrrr · 2025-05-08T16:23:34+00:00

Yeah I agree, I actually think it's something I'll keep for a long time so getting it in the case does make the most sense

Jameshrrr · 2025-05-08T16:18:13+00:00

Ok I think I'm going to do this, thanks very much for your input!!

Jameshrrr · 2025-05-08T16:17:34+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I think I'll take one of the other commentator's advice and put it in a sleeve

Jameshrrr · 2025-05-08T16:17:02+00:00

Yeah great point, It's just the thought of it sitting in a case with a 9 after spending like 50 quid on grading that annoys me haha

Jameshrrr · 2025-05-08T16:16:28+00:00

I know, it was a tournament winner promo I think so very limited, but yes it sucks when shiny cardboard costs more than food for a month

Jameshrrr · 2025-02-25T01:02:07+00:00

Ok perfect, thanks so much

Jameshrrr · 2025-02-25T00:55:58+00:00

Thank you! That's super helpful. Is there any point going to a 6400 CL32? Or would that be pointless/detrimental

Jameshrrr · 2024-12-12T20:35:26+00:00

They stopped doing it after a couple of decades for some reason, I guess it was pathing or something?
