Absolute beauty.
I can only imagine how good this will look in person.
But will this card save a seemingly underwhelming set?
More cards have also been revealed.

PSA Grade Questionably Once Again
A user from reddit posted a picture of 2 peculiar graded cards.

Can you spot the error on each card?
Correct! It’s the infamous 2011 Pikachu face ink spill misprint.
All jokes aside, how you miss that bright yellow feature on the card is beyond me.
How these cards were graded incorrectly is unknown.
But it is real.

Throwback Thursday
If you like saying “what the fuck” on a thursday morning, this one is for you.
Going back to the set "Black & White: Emerging Powers” from 2011.
We find the top 2 cards of the set: FA Thundurus and FA Tornadus.
These are the only full art cards of the set. And the rarest. No alt arts, no golds, no secret rares.

Tornadus 98/98 Illus. 5ban Graphics
The price of Thundurus is around USD$7 and Tornadus is around USD$5.
As the highest priced cards of the set.
How much do you think a booster pack would go for?
With a chance of making at the most $5-$7 back?
Maybe around $5-$7 for a booster?
🤔

$46.99USD.
What.
Why.
Who is buying at these prices?
Converting to aussie dollars, boosters are selling on ebay for ~$75.
Tornadus ~$10
Thundurus ~$15
You’re spending $75 on a chance of making $10-$15 back.
Okay, yes you get high on nostalgia.
But is that worth $75? Because you probably won’t be pulling any of the only 2 rare cards of the set.
