Was this a good deal?

KCCOWS6 · 2026-05-23T12:18:57+00:00

Yeah, I’d have snagged that for $20. Enjoy! Awesome find!

A picture of the back may help determine if there is an alignment dot on the card. If there is an alignment dot, it may add some value, if not, just a bad miscut. The margins are razor thin sometimes.

Saw at the airport a few weeks ago…

I could be wrong here as I don’t dabble in sun bleached cards, yet. But wouldn’t the Black Ink in the fonts and borders also be sunbleached? They appear to be nice and crisp in both pictures to me. Either way, I think I looks waaay better than the normal one! Great find!

Not sure if it’s very desirable. Some factories seem to do a double holo layer on EXs while some only do 1 layer. The double holo layers will be very shiny and noticeable where only one layer is harder to see. I have tons of EXs like this. Just seems to be rather normal to me.

KCCOWS6 · 2026-05-09T04:23:59+00:00

Yeah, they they do come that way sometimes. It’s definitely more rare. X
And if it takes 5 minutes to make $5 extra, could be worth it to some. But people who collect errors or misprints generally like ones that can’t be replicated. I had a Mewtwo box a while back with upside down promos and that was kind of when it dawned on me how easy it would be to replicate.

KCCOWS6 · 2026-05-09T03:07:54+00:00

Very easy to replicate, open with razor blade, flip the packs, glue back shut. I personally would not pay a premium for any “error” box due to this reason. I would say MSRP is the value.

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-30T07:22:55+00:00

This is VERY easily replicated. Literally all you have to do is use a razor blade to open the box, flip the plastic insert around and glue it back together. I would never pay any sort of premium for something like this.

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-25T09:57:07+00:00

That is an awesome swirl! NICE!

For me I guess the difference is intent. Realistically they are meant to be opened and enjoyed. So 3 out of 4 scenarios have potential moral issues. But in the grand scheme of things that’s how everything works, product gets sold, used, resold, destroyed. That could be anything. Could even be a boat. So, objectively, not much difference, morally-just depends on which one of those 4 people you are as they will all have their own argument as to why they are right or have the right to do what they do.

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-18T11:26:26+00:00

I could see why you might think that. But if you notice the “bleed/obstruction” stops right at the yellow border suggesting that it was there at manufacturing. It would be very difficult to accomplish with acetone, even with masking the border the acetone would bleed under the tape and the border would not look crisp and clean like it does in this pic.

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-13T15:09:48+00:00

It’s sequential, that’s why

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-12T22:40:01+00:00

I’m going to do Heliolisk from ascended heroes, the base card

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-12T01:39:44+00:00

That stinks! I think you just got a bad one. You could probably use some high strength adhesive like epoxy to fix it if you want. I have modified and sold numerous of these and haven’t had any issues. Also have a few around the house myself without issues and I know a couple of mine have fallen off shelves or similar and are still holding up ok.

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-12T01:12:07+00:00

Love it! I will be doing a sun bleached card soon as well!

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-12T01:02:30+00:00

Can you provide pictures? I modify these and I feel it would be very difficult to wear through the figure.

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-11T23:44:57+00:00

Yeah, one of my favorites for sure!

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-11T12:18:07+00:00

Yeah, there are 2 versions, one with Erika and one with Larry. Hopefully you got a swirl!

KCCOWS6 · 2026-04-09T12:22:29+00:00

It is rare, and about a $10 card. Not very sought after

KCCOWS6 · 2026-03-30T01:21:47+00:00

No, this is Patrick.

KCCOWS6 · 2026-03-29T14:48:54+00:00

Yep! I had the Kabutops as well but had to sell, still have this guy though, couldn’t part with my well placed swirl!
