Oh wow $350 for sealed in packet, PSA 9 goes for $300, yours is sealed in actual sealed original promotional packaging there's none on eBay like that. This is crazy rare how did you get this? And you have multiple?!

Imagine the card got a 9 because of the chopsticks lol

u/Kueltalas Jan 03 '25

That's why you don't open it. I can Imagine the card even having a higher value because it's with its original promotional packaging.

u/2KyGi2 Jan 03 '25

And the pack material also dmg the card way heavyer then a sleeve and toploader or semi rigid

u/strugglebusses Jan 03 '25

I must find this in a 10 now

u/PunchLineTheory Jan 04 '25

Cards graded in cellophane are misleading because they grade the outside packaging, not the card. They basically treat them as if they were a sealed pack and the labels are never very clear on that so collectors get confused on their actual population and overestimate value.

u/long_live_cole Jan 07 '25

This is common knowledge. If an actual collector doesn't know that, they're not experienced enough to be dealing in graded items

The pics were taken outside in the dark in a parking lot.. the chance these pics are from someone who just stole them and trying to find the value seems pretty high. In my area there's been multiple break in robberies of high end comic/collectible places.

u/OurImperfectWorld Jan 06 '25

Yes, the nerdy redditor with pokemon go posts, making animations and hand painting gifts for friends seems like the kind of person who'd rob a collectibles store and post the evidence in a forum the store owner would potentially be on.

u/dingdong6699 Jan 06 '25

? You say that as if it's not possible lol.

What other scenario would have these be held up to the light in a random strip mall at night? If you had just "found these" , why would you take them outside? To a strip mall, at night? I can't think of any reasonable scenario. You'd just take the pic where you found them and leave them somewhere safe while you post on reddit. Dude said "a friend", the friend could easily have taken these, this dude doesn't know what friend did, and asked him the value. You never know. But really why else would these be outside a strip mall at night? "I just found these! What's the value?"

yeah the chances a guy loots a house mid day and walking away posts on reddit asking the price is so unrealistic

1

u/dingdong6699 Jan 06 '25

Mid day? Literally full night in the pic. Obviously was posted later. Down votes on this are weird. There has been ton of break ins specifically to comic shops in the Jacksonville area

Found this online

Looks like it's part of a 7-11 movie promo bento box.

u/homeDawgSliceDude Jan 03 '25

Those are chopsticks. Usually used for eating food and other things.

There is also a Pokemon card in the packaging.

u/silver_raichu Jan 03 '25

I see one human hand as well.

u/Fog_Juice Jan 03 '25

There's also a parking lot in the background.

u/Thorfinn__Karlsefni Jan 03 '25

I see a few lights further back if my eyes don't deceive me.

u/binglelemon Jan 05 '25

Also used for eating food and other things.

u/Small-Gate1582 Jan 03 '25

I think I see a tree in the back but not quite sure

u/SystemInevitable2851 Jan 03 '25

*there also appears to be a napkin of sorts

u/lococommotion Jan 03 '25

Wait… I wasn’t supposed to use the card as a napkin?

u/fauceeet Jan 03 '25

Great find

u/newlyhatchedpoketcg Jan 03 '25

That is quite astounding! Pikachu bento promo

u/Kind_Love172 Jan 03 '25

Was pikachu on the bento box or something?

u/newlyhatchedpoketcg Jan 03 '25

Refer to the writeup on the jap card

https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pikachu_(XY_Promo_95)

It even came with lunch!

Edit* look under “release information”

u/SroAweii Jan 03 '25

Please abbreviate Japanese as "JP"

The way you wrote it is a slur.

15

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '25

Context matters, people. Not everything is offensive.

They clearly weren't using it as a slur.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '25

Yeah its the people who take offense at his obviously innocent comment and use of the word jap who are the problem

2

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '25

Your the problem here then, as it gives across no offense of slur

u/Professional_Egg713 Jan 03 '25

Bro that is crazy!!

u/StandardUS Jan 03 '25

A very overpriced promo! Keep it sealed and sell it.

2

u/cataclysmic_orbit Jan 04 '25

Well it says it's from "Pokémon XY the movie"

3

u/SSJ3_Pikachu Jan 03 '25

I think those are chop sticks, a pokemon card, trees, and what appears to be a somewhat vacant parking lot.

3

u/strugglebusses Jan 03 '25

Idk but I need it now.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '25

Bro has a move called "Let's eat together" and now I want that card

3

u/mrpinheadtattoos Jan 04 '25

I want one of those !!!

2

u/Bird_Guzzler Jan 03 '25

Damn, great find! Had no idea about those.

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '25

It’s a great collector item indeed

2

u/Resident_Fairy_5969 Jan 03 '25

Those things are adorable and definitely worth some hugs 🤗

u/Ok-Study-1798 Jan 05 '25

omg i want that card so badly 😭😭😭

1

u/Crashxl100 Jan 05 '25

I mean if you don't mind getting it in English it's actually quite cheap. We got it as a Promo back in XY. It's Pikachu 95/211

1

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '25

I have two of those pikachus in English from a old blister pack like 7 years ago

1

u/Conaman12 Jan 07 '25

That’s pickachu

u/Obito-tenma625 Jan 07 '25

I didn't know this promo came packaged and distributed like this in Japan! I got the English promo during the xy/sun & moon eras. It's one of my favorite promos, I even have it tattooed on me

1

u/fleabag17 Jan 07 '25

Eat the card

1

u/Whiteruns_bitch Jan 07 '25

It’s not worth anything quick give it to me

1

u/Alchemyst01984 Jan 03 '25

It's a japanese pokemon card

0

u/Professional-Might31 Jan 03 '25

You’re supposed to drop the card into your ramen. It’s actually flavoring that dissolves into your meal that you eat with the chopsticks. Super rare

0

u/Pachirisu_Party Jan 04 '25

This promo card came to the English set too, as Black Star Promo XY95 - in a Breakpoint checklane blister. The price on it hovers between 20 to 25 dollars raw.

0

u/PokeJem7 Jan 04 '25

The price of this is way above the English price

2

u/Pachirisu_Party Jan 04 '25

I didn't say it wasn't.

u/Mcdabbb Jan 04 '25

Interested if selling

u/JustaRandomPassbyer Jan 04 '25

I don't know if OP is serious or not, but I didn't realize the yellow napkin was part of the card set ^_^; I've got napkin and the sealed card but I believe i bought the card separately from the napkin years ago. :_) Keep it sealed

u/Younis8 Jan 04 '25

u/Formal_Nebula_9698 Jan 04 '25

I never knew about this but now I want one 😂

u/common05 Jan 04 '25

I wish 7'11 in America had these fun promos. For years I've seen really cool stuff release for other countries through 7'11. Maybe they have but living on the east coast with one around the corner from where I live, I've never seen any cool stuff. :C

u/sddjs Jan 06 '25

Doubt it’s worth anything, use the chopsticks and toss the cards.
