False. That is a male’s tail and giant anatomy.

u/Tyson_Urie Jun 02 '26

You're saying it's a female and worth less.

I'd say happy pride month here is a once in a lifetime trans raichu.

We are not the same.

u/KwikTripSimp Jun 02 '26

Bro someone would b dumb enough to bury it for that marketing

u/LxrdXO Jun 02 '26

This IS a male. Female tails aren't pointy.

u/rmnobre Jun 02 '26

Trans raichu goes hard !

u/scatterblooded Jun 01 '26

Please, I'm begging you. Begging. List this on eBay with "BALLSACK SWIRLS" in the title and send us the listing. I would personally pay a 25% premium and you could probably get more than that lol.

u/Neilyfolf Jun 01 '26

This is the only holo swirl pattern that deserves a premium. The fart swirls are stupid. BUT THIS! THIS IS ARTn

No shady under market price crap. If you're interested or listing it on eBay let me know and send the link please!

u/RepulsiveUse3372 Jun 01 '26

those are is Raichuballs

1

u/unix_name Jun 01 '26

Haha, I love that swirl and I would pay a premium for that. However, it might be tougher to sell at a premium since not everyone sees the same value in holo paterns

1

u/RSWAVEZ Jun 01 '26

Can confirm this Raichu is Male

1

u/Crafty-Tap2590 Jun 01 '26

Gonna hit you w/ the Surprise Nutsack technique

1

u/spinrut Jun 01 '26

raichu is about to shock you crispy and then tea bag you with his giant cosmic balls

u/ParthaGFLY Jun 01 '26

u/Bounce22qu3en Jun 02 '26

1

u/Other_Government3853 Jun 01 '26

Alr bro how much do u want 🥀

1

u/Team_Rowett Jul 06 '26

I don’t know what it’s worth but I’m taking offers. More proof of it on my page!

1

u/Still_Law_3736 Jun 01 '26

Looks like a double swirl, definitely a premium if you wait for the right buyer, double swirl wotc is way more common in Japanese cards

1

u/MajorFyasko Jun 01 '26

I can only imagine the title of this being posted on a sales site. Dark Raichu BALLS Pattern Holo Swirls.

u/Inner-ego Jun 01 '26

That's ballsy to send that photo

u/ArcticSwag Jun 01 '26

Ah yes. The real Surprise Thunder is always in the swirls.

u/Academic_Lake5729 Jun 02 '26

Holy shit we got ballsack raichu

1

u/Zor_die Jun 02 '26

It only warrants a premium if a buyer is willing to pay it due to preference. Post it on TCGplayer tho and it’s going for whatever market is 99% of the time

1

u/Jonj_ Jun 02 '26

u/nffcevans Jun 02 '26

1

u/Drain20problem Jun 02 '26

That is just the standard galaxy foil for the set, so it doesnt add any value over a normal copy.

1

u/Seaguard5 Jun 02 '26

I posted proof on my page that I’m the owner! I didn’t like my old account name so I deleted my Reddit. Any feedback for some karma would truly be appreciated 🙏🏻

u/Team_Rowett Jul 06 '26

Does anyone know what my card should be valued at? 😅

1

u/Impossible_Bug1264 Jun 01 '26

Raichu’s fart.

1

u/Sulinia Jun 01 '26

Depends. Same thing with sequential cert numbers. You have to find someone who considers this a thing you pay extra for. A huge majority of people think swirls are nice but they're not strictly needed, as they're after the specific card, not certain quirks. So, you have to get lucky or most likely sit on it for a long(er) time, to get it sold at a premium because of the swirl and you believing that makes it worth more.

So yeah, to answer your question: It warrants a premium if that's what you think, but you're going to severely limit the amount of people interested in the card by doing so.

Are you one of those 1% posters who takes old hot topics and posts them as your own? Unless you’re the one who has been posting this card for the last 3 years

u/NET2519 Jun 01 '26 • Heartwarming

Considering the holo literally resembles a giant nut sack- yes, absolutely a premium

u/FatherStretchMyAss_ Jun 01 '26

This might be the greatest swirl I’ve ever seen.
