Professor Victini

@FukuokaPokemart I am also interested in the original art (if they were not digital prints)

@ProfVictini Zero interest at all in these 😅

The CardBound documentary raised my interest in Playtest cards, and I actually found one available on Ebay. Here's the Pokemon Graded: Heal Powder Neo Destiny Playtest (2001) CGC 6. It is one of the rare internal prototype cards created by Wizards of the Coast (WotC) during the development of the English Neo Destiny expansion before its public release in 2002. Key feature about this card: 1. There is no illustration 2. Card name is there 3. Card text 4. Version number Price is listed at $9,199.99. CGC proved authentic (but you never know, right?): cgccards.com/certlookup/304… If I have the money I'd just buy it right away... too bad my pocket is too small. Here's the link to the card: ebay.com/itm/3185644076… #ad

@GroudonKing @CHARIcollector Looks fire!

Groudon ex - CoroCoro Promo 🔥🔥 Gotta give a big thanks to @CHARIcollector for the hookup! 🙌🏻 Had to show it some extra love and throw it on a chain display ⛓️😎😂

@brandoncotyy I wonder how much these “fake” playtest cards worth now. Such a significant story in Pokemon

@ProfVictini Well done documentary. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was surprised at the fake printing and dots part.

Finally got the time to watch CardBound's "I Have The First Pokemon Card In The World". Nicely filmed documentary that has a cinematic twist with the Market Promo Ivy Pikachu, as well as a coverage about the fake prototype. Wonder if this is too niche for most people, after 4 days it only had 28k views. The part I enjoyed the most? The decoding of the printing dots by Scott Mastromatteo.

@Marcos_CFame @PokemonDealsTCG Sorry for you. I wasn’t even invited, maybe that’s better?

@ProfVictini @PokemonDealsTCG Nah kinda sucks i got the invite but it is now sold out.

Special Delivery Box Invites Going Out at Pokémon Center! Product Page pokemoncenter.com/product/70-115… Must be logged in with email address linked to account / invite.

@Shi_kah_kah @christofu_tan Check again. Then the add to cart option showed up

@ProfVictini @christofu_tan Did you check again or did you email them?

Sunday ticket is LIVE! Huge thanks to @christofu_tan

@christofu_tan You too!

@ProfVictini ENJOY!!! 😊

@0xLevi @totodile_king I’ve been keeping them nicely too. This is like the cheapest ever collection of a special Pokemon

@BXgg34alKIGB2Vg @ivypika @LoganPaul Me 2! Keep looking and want to see what happens with this card

@ProfVictini @ivypika @LoganPaul これからも目👀が離せません ね😁 楽しみです。 残念ながら私は持っていませんが…

さて、そんなIvyピカチュウはというと、PSAの鑑定枚数がこの7日間で102枚増加しています。 PSA7が2枚、PSA8が3枚増えるなど、語りたいことはいろいろあるのですが、今注目すべきはPSA9の枚数。 23枚から22枚へ、まさかの1枚減少。 おじでなきゃ見逃しちゃうね。 リホルダーでダウングレードしたのか、ラベルエラーが修正されたのか。もしかしたら、先月取り上げたあの個体が修正されたのかもしれませんね。

@christofu_tan @Pokemon Thank you!! You are the HERO!

@ProfVictini @Pokemon Hey Prof!!! Try checking out the ticket now! It came back for me!!

Here's how Pokemon can disappoints you at MAX. Received an email about me getting lucky to the Pokemon XP, clicked through, and it says "sold out". @Pokemon why?!?!?!?!!

@thechristiankyl @Pokemon I hope they will release more, otherwise it doesn’t make sense to give us 72 hours

@ProfVictini @Pokemon Was there any updates on if this was fixed or maybe they restock?

Was looking at some of Yuka Morii's Pokemon card, and found this really special one. It's the Meiji Chocolate Promo (068/PCG-P, 2005). It was only obtainable through Meiji Chocolate, and this special Pikachu card came in the 2005 June series, where it's also possible to pull Mew and Gardevoir. Found a sealed copy on Ebay for $708, and PSA10 version is currently listed on the market at 935000Yen ($5760USD). It was the time when Pokemon card was really for kids.

@poke_maam This must have brought you so much memory back!

I've been puzzled by why the first two Pokemon cards were Pikachu and Jigglypuff. According to multiple sources there were surveys prior to release and kids back in the days would mail in and vote for their favourite Pokemon. Pikachu and Jigglypuff were among the top choices. The problem is I am not able to find any of the scanned copies of these survey, and instead, Clefairy (Pippi ピッピ) was used as the icon in earlier prints of Corocoro. See the few images from Corocoro magazine back in July 1996 and September 1996. So why wasn't it Pikachu and Clefairy? (Pikachu wasn't even the mascot yet if you look at the pictures, and Clefairy was everywhere) Anyone who has some early memories to tell please? Source: dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/books…

@BXgg34alKIGB2Vg @ivypika Perhaps that’s @LoganPaul next chase

@ProfVictini @ivypika PSA10を取る人が出たらその人は一躍スーパースターでしょうね😆🙌 もし仮にBGSブラックラベルが登場したらどうなるんでしょう？ センタリングの問題があるから、未剥がしであっても限りなく難しいでしょうね🤔 でも、夢がありますね🥰💓💓💓

@0xLevi Was gonna post some of my Imakuni cards hahahhaa

@ProfVictini Ayyy we have similar taste! Yeah, I agree. That’s what made me appreciate Ooyama and Imakuni cards, they’re so out of pocket and different from other cards.

Here’s a limited edition Pokémon card with only 5,000 copies ever made. This is Abareru-kun SM-P 320, featuring Japanese comedian Abareru-kun, who appeared on Pokémon TV shows like Pokénchi for years. You couldn’t buy this card. To get one, you had to buy Tag Bolt (SM9) packs, collect entry coupons, mail them in, and get lucky in a lottery. Only 5,000 winners received one. Great story, fun artwork, and officially limited. Raw is about $200-$300. PSA10: $1,199.95 (May 31, 2026, Ebay)

@Compa_Feli @Pokemon I spent some time looking at the schedule and thought, “maybe Friday?” Then it was all sold out.

@ProfVictini @Pokemon me too. bummed out cause i thought with 72 hours was enough to could see who wanted to go with me

@Shi_kah_kah @Pokemon Please keep us posted

@ProfVictini @Pokemon I emailed customer service. Don’t know if they’ll say anything.
